Principal’s Message
Dear Parents,
New Arrival
Staffing
I would like to congratulate Amanda Winne on her appointment as Acting Coordinator, until the end of term, while Ryan Matchett is on leave. Amanda will be supporting the teachers in Years 3 and 4. Mrs Jodie May will be providing release in 5W on a Tuesday so Amanda can carry out her designated executive responsibilities.
Bob Fletcher will be away for the last two weeks of this term. Michael McFadden will be taking the class full-time while Bob is away. Next term Susan Carwell and Monika Richards will be accessing leave to for the first few weeks of the term. I am currently in the process of organising their replacements.
Leaving St Monica's
A final reminder to those who are yet to lodge their online enrolment application for St Monica's Primary School. Your enrolment applications are over-due.
Those who think they may not be at St Monica's next year (Year 6 exempt) are also asked to let me know your intentions, via writing. My estimates regarding predicted numbers for St Monica's in 2020 must be submitted to the Catholic Education Office soon. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Families Taking Leave for 10 Days or More
Where children are accompanying family members for an extended holiday, for 10 or more school days, parents are now required to complete an Application for Extended Leave –Travel form. This is available on our school app or it can be collected from the office. Thank you for your assistance.
A reminder that when a child is away the school must be notified. This can be done via an email, SZapp or a written note. All notes are kept on file as schools are regularly audited.
God bless and stay warm
Carmel Maguire
