Dear Parents,

It is hard to believe that we are in Week 5 already, it has been a very busy term so far with swimming, inter-school sport, FLC’s, parent welcoming activities and excursions just some of the activities that I can mention. Whenever anything like the aforementioned occur it takes extra effort and organisation from the staff. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committed and professional staff we have here at St Catherine’s who go over and above to provide the best opportunities they can for the students.

Parent Welcome Opportunities

It was a pleasure to see all of the parents enjoy our Morning Classroom Tour and Family Prayer Afternoon over the last few weeks. Please keep the following dates free in your diary;

• A reminder that parents must sign in at the Office and we strongly encourage the wearing of face masks.

Swimming

Our swimming program commenced this week for Prep and Year 2. Thanks to Justin Kenez and all of the Prep and Grade 2 teachers for their organisation and preparation.

Safety Around the School Grounds

The following rules are in place for the safety of all students in the school. We ask that parents please respect the following rules;

• Children should not be arriving at school before 8.25am as they are not supervised. The gates will be locked until 8.25am. Parents requiring supervision prior to this time need to contact after school care.
• All cars leaving the roadway must turn left into Ridgemont Drive.
• Students waiting for siblings from SFX must wait inside the school grounds near the entrance gate. They are not to wait out the front of SFX.

We are still taking new enrolments for 2023. If you are an existing family and have not yet completed your 2023 enrolment form please do so asap in order to confirm a place. If you know of anyone wanting to enrol at St Catherine’s please encourage them to contact the Office and book a tour.
