Dear Families,

As we approach the end of Term 3, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible events and activities that have taken place at our school over the term. It has been a busy and rewarding term, filled with joy, learning, and community spirit!

Our students have shown remarkable talent and sportsmanship during the athletics carnivals, where they competed fiercely and cheered each other on. The Hoop Time basketball competition showcased the skills and teamwork of our budding basketball stars, while our winter sports teams demonstrated dedication and perseverance in their respective sports. We were also fortunate to host the Maffra cricket clinics, where our students learned essential cricket skills and had a blast!

This term, we took the time to honour our fathers and father figures with a heartwarming Father’s Day breakfast and Mass. It was wonderful to see so many families come together to celebrate this special day. Our Grandparents Mass and classroom visits were equally delightful, providing a precious opportunity for our students to share their learning experiences with their loved ones. The Mary MacKillop Feast Day Mass and related activities reminded us of the importance of faith and community, reinforcing our values and connection as a school.

Our dress-up days were a hit, with students embracing creativity and fun! Book Week inspired many to dress as their favourite characters, while Olympic Day had everyone in the Olympics spirit. Pyjama Day was a cosy success, bringing smiles and comfort to our classrooms whilst raising over $180 for children in out of home care.

A huge thank you to our Parents and Friends Association for organising a fantastic Movie Night! It was a wonderful way for the children to come together, enjoy some popcorn, and connect with one another in a relaxed setting.

As we look forward to Term 4, we remain excited about the opportunities ahead. With the end of the year approaching, let’s continue to support our students in finishing strong, both academically and socially. We have more activities planned, and together, we can make this year one to remember!

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our school community.

Have a great weekend with your families.

Kind regards,

Julian
