Holy Rosary School Derby
NEWSLETTER / TERM 2/ Week 4/Friday 15th May
Message From Miss Melanie
Thank you to all our families for attending the Parent/Teacher interviews on Tuesday. It was great to see the support our students have from their families to ensure that they have the best experiences of school and learning that they can. Mid year reports will be available through SEQTA Engage from Wednesday 1st July (Wk 11 of Term 2).
Our Baptism service will be on Thursday 21st May, with details sent out to the families involved. There will be a service in the Church, starting at 1.00pm followed by a simple afternoon tea in the Multi-purpose Room. All families are welcome to join this special occasion.
Our Cross-country Carnival will now be held on Thursday 28th May from 8.30am to 10.00am. Miss Alexis will send further details to families for students from Years 3 - 6 early in Wk6. Apologies for the short notice to families, we have been waiting to hear the news on Miss Alexis' injury to know when to reschedule to event.
Miss Alexis will be away from school from Monday 8th June until at least Friday 21st June. Unfortunately her knee injury is significant and she requires surgery and therapy to recover. Once the details of her short term replacement is known, we will share the details with the school community. We wish her a speedy recovery after the surgery.
A reminder that Holy Rosary has a pupil free day on Friday 22nd May, the same day as DDHS for those families who have students at both schools.
God Bless.
Miss Melanie
Rejoicing Religion
We have had a great response from families wishing to participate in the baptism of their child/ren so we will be having an event on Thursday 21st May. Fr Bryan will be the celebrant on the day.
Toys and Special Items
A reminder that students are NOT permitted to bring toys, sports equipment or special items to school. Staff are not able to take responsibility of these items to stop them from being lost or damaged. We ask families to support us with this and ensure that special items are kept at home.
SAVE THE DATE: Kimochis
Miss Collette will be holding a Parent information session on Wednesday 3rd June from 2.30pm. Further details will be sent out to families shortly with more details and location.
School Uniform
A reminder that students are expected to wear their school uniform each day. Uniform items are available from Admin.
We now have available royal blue zip up jumpers from Admin. Families are encouraged to purchase these jumpers as they are aligned with our uniform. Hoodies and oversized jumpers are not permitted at school for safety reasons and students will not be permitted to wear them during school hours.
SHOES: A reminder that students from Years 1 - 6 are expected to wear sandals with a back or sneakers. Crocs and slip on shoes are NOT permitted at school for safety reasons.
