CELEBRATIONS OF COMMUNITY

Father’s Day Breakfast, time in Classrooms and Assembly

Thank you to everyone who attended our Father’s Day Breakfast, Prayer time and Assembly yesterday.  We had over 400 dads, grandpas, pops and students attending this very special event.  It is a time where our community gives thanks for the love, support and guidance provided by the male figures in our lives.  A very special thank you to Mary MacKillop Staff & parent volunteers, for assisting with the planning, preparation, cooking and serving.  To all our dads, grandads, uncles in our school community, we wish you all a very happy Father’s Day on Sunday.  We hope you enjoy time with your family and loved ones.  Happy Father’s Day!

Footy Day Celebrations - Thursday 14 September

A reminder that if your child/ren wish to take part in the Sausage Sizzle, orders must be placed on CDFpay by next Thursday 7 September.  Unfortunately no late orders can be accepted.

Foundation & Year 1 Mass

We appreciate everyone who came out to the Foundation and Year 1 Mass celebration earlier today, including staff, parents, and family members. The liturgy emphasized the Season of Creation and our gratitude for all the things we have been given. It was a great event to come together in prayer and celebrate the beauty of the world.

Year 6 students are currently on camp at The Ranch, Cape Schanck.  A very big thank you to our staff Marg Vlajankov, Sally Lane, Breanna Cahill, Clint Timothy, Kelly Oldfield and Tylah Meunier for their planning, preparation and organisation of camp. We look forward to hearing our students stories, highlights, team work and experiences of overcoming challenges when they return tomorrow.

The Term 3 Student Learning Portfolios includes the Parent Feedback sheet.  We respectfully ask parents to take the time to complete the Feedback sheet with their child after going through the portfolio samples of student learning. We are very proud of our students efforts to document their learning journey and hope families take up this opportunity to acknowledge their child’s efforts.  Term 3 Student Learning Portfolios are due back at the beginning of Term 4.
