Dear Parents, Carers, Staff and Students, 

Welcome back to the beginning of a new term!

We hope that the holiday break was enjoyable for you and your family. During this term there will continue to be opportunities to support your child, events to look forward to and things to celebrate. As Covid restrictions are lifting it is an absolute pleasure to see parents join with the school community in celebrating important liturgies and assemblies. We look with a sense of anticipation to celebrate the Feast of St Anthony on 9 June due to St Anthony’s actual feast day falling on Sunday 13 June. Please mark this day down in your calendar and in the weeks ahead we will be sending out further information.

I would like to especially commend the students on how smart they look in returning to school in their winter uniform. In speaking to the students, I have reminded them about the importance of wearing their uniform with pride and making sure that it is in accordance with our school uniform policy. This includes haircuts that need to be neat and tidy, and do not draw attention to themselves.

In the first few weeks of this term I have had the pleasure to interview new and existing families who are seeking to enrol their child in Kindergarten for 2022. This enrolment process always provides the school with the wonderful opportunity to gain feedback, both positive and constructive, about the school. In the midst of these enrolment meetings it provides me with the opportunity to discuss the important partnership we need to develop between the school and parents. This relationship is, and always should be, centred around our school motto, “To  grow in respect and honesty”.

Take Care

Justin Devlin
