A reminder that our next special event will be our Holy Rosary Art Exhibition and Open Day on Thursday 13th November. The event starts at 2.30pm and ends around 5.30pm. On the day our classrooms will be open for our families and members of the community to come and have a look at some of the great things we are doing in the school. The Art Exhibition will be displayed in the Multi-purpose Room and will be showcasing a range of student work from across all year levels.

Don't forget to save the date for our end of year Christmas Concert which will be on Tuesday 9th December. We will be selling food again this year and order forms will be sent out to families closer to the date. The evening will start around 5.00pm with our concert starting at 6.00pm.

Another save the date reminder for our end of year Mass and Assembly which will be held in the Church on Thursday 11th December, further details will be sent out to families closer to the date. The Year 6 students will have their Graduation lunch on the same day and details will be sent home with families closer to the date.

We look forward to a great Term 4 with our students and families.

God Bless.

Any families who would like their child/children to participate in the Sacraments in 2026 please contact Admin as soon as possible so that we can lock in dates with the Broome Diocese.

If you would like your child to participate and they have not been Baptised, please let Jenna in Admin know and we will organise contact from the Broome Diocese to allow for you to start the Sacramental process.

The Pre-primary students had a great time during Week 3 at their swimming lessons. Thank you to the Derby Memorial Pool Staff for providing these lessons. Also a big thank you to Miss Emma and Miss Judith for supporting the students. Check out some photos from the week.

A reminder that students from Kindy to Year 6 are expected to wear the school uniform. Uniform items can be purchased from the front office. For those families purchasing shorts/skorts from outside of school - the colour must be royal blue.

Black shorts/skorts are not an acceptable option. Pictures of the uniform are included for reference.

Students from Years 1 -6 are also required to wear closed in sports shoes or sandals with a covered toe and strap across the back. Thongs and crocs are not permitted to be worn at school.

It is essential for Health Care Card holders to complete the necessary form immediately to be eligible for the school fee discount. The school is provided with additional funding to support your child's learning programs so through keeping this up-to-date we are able to offer exciting activities like the recent Scitech incursion and resource our classrooms appropriately.

All Health care Cards MUST be current so if yours has expired please come in and provide the updated details to Miss Jenna in Admin.
