A reminder to all families to continue to check the school calendar on our website for dates and events that are coming along during the term.

Welcome to Term Two! It has been great chatting with students and parents as we have commenced the new school term.

I thank our staff for the work that has been undertaken leading up to the new term, ensuring a smooth start for our students.

As we are now in Term Two, students are to be in the correct school uniform.

Please see Ms Campbell's section of the newsletter for more information regarding our uniform expectations.

I also remind families to keep abreast of school information by checking our live school calendar regularly.

As advised last term, we had the opportunity to co-opt two parents to our Catholic School Advisory Council (CSAC) and Parents & Friends (P&F) Committee for 2026.

We welcome Heidi Nagel to our Catholic School Advisory Council and Heather Thomas to our Parents & Friends Committee for the remainder of the school year.

We have launched our new whole-school reward system!

Students can receive raffle tickets and we will soon be launching a faction token reward system.

I thank our P&F Committee for their support in purchasing faction tokens and token tubes as we commence this exciting whole-school initiative!

Our Year Three students are preparing for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, taking place on Tuesday 12 May.

Please keep these students in your thoughts and prayers at this time.

I thank Krystle Neal and Anna Tran (Year Three Teachers) for preparing our students, as well as Dee Campbell (Assistant Principal) for her support and leadership

A reminder to all parents of children receiving the Sacrament of First Reconciliation, that the following commitments are approaching in Weeks 3 and 4. Children and staff will be bussed to and from the Church during school hours for the Rehearsal.

If you have not yet registered with the parish, please do so ASAP.

Our new positive engagement initiative, RAD REWARDS has launched this week in Pre Primary to Year 6 with stage 1.

RAD REWARDS is all about focusing on rewarding students for displaying the school values and following school rules, using manners and showing random acts of kindness. RAD REWARDS is not about academic or sporting success, but your child may be recognised for showing perseverance, or resilience around subject matter.

RAD REWARDS is designed to provide the opportunity to encourage and reward ALL students to want to be the best they can be.

STAGE 1: RAFFLE TICKET

• Students can earn as many raffle tickets as possible throughout the term.
• Students write their NAME and CLASS on the raffle ticket and put it into the Raffle Ticket Box in the wet area for their year group.
• At each MERIT ASSEMBLY, ONE raffle ticket is drawn from each of the year group raffle ticket boxes, and that student is invited to Lunch With Leadership (LWL).

More information about stage 2 will be in the next newsletter!

Term 2 sees our students move into our Winter Uniform. Now is a good time to start checking you have ALL the necessary uniform pieces (including TIES) and check they still fit!!!

Please check girls’ skirts are the correct length – skirt MUST touch the knee when standing.

The Kimochi's Social and Emotional Program is being utilised in our early childhood classrooms (Pre-Kindy - Year 2).

The Kimochis® Parent Information Session supports families to understand how Kimochis®, used in CEWA classrooms, helps children build emotional literacy, regulate big feelings and develop positive relationships, and how these skills can be supported and reinforced at home.

📅 Date: Monday 12/05/2026

🕕 Time: 6:00–7:00pm

💻 Platform: Microsoft Teams

In this session, parents and carers will:

• Meet the Kimochis® characters and their unique personalities
• Learn how Feeling Pillows support emotional understanding and regulation
• Explore practical, everyday strategies to support social and emotional learning at home
• Understand how home practices can complement Kimochis® learning at school

A virtual link will be sent out to families via Seesaw closer to the date.

We hope you are able to engage in this fantastic opportunity!

Special bins have been placed in student's eating areas. These bins are for collecting 10 cent containers.

If you have a water bottle, can or carton with the 10c symbol on it, you can place it in the Containers for Change bin instead of the normal bin.

Every container we collect helps in two important ways:

It helps the environment by recycling.

And it raises money for our school.

The money we raise will go towards sustainability projects like improving our gardens, supporting our worm farm, and helping us become a more environmentally friendly school.
