Catholic Schools Week - It is Catholic Schools Week this week for ACT Catholic Schools. This is a timely reminder of what it means for Catholic Education in our Archdiocese, in our Belconnen Region and in our very own St Monica’s Community. Our moral purpose here at St Monica's is to maintain the unique qualities of a Catholic school. We aspire to be a school that is centred in the person of Jesus Christ, contributes to the evangelising mission of the church, and is distinguished by excellence for academic performance, behaviour, culture and in our reputation in the local community.

I think we do a magnificent job of making known the person of Jesus, Catholic Social Teaching is alive in our school in the way we treat one another, our outreach to the poor and the marginalised. This is the week to celebrate our Catholicity and to be proud of the Catholic Community we belong to. Our key celebration for Catholic School’s Week will be the commissioning of our Youth Ministers into their role at our Whole School Prayer time tomorrow morning.

Baby News - A big warm welcome to some of the tiniest and newest members of the St Monica's community. Baby Edith, sister to Evelyn in KM and Baby Willow, sister to Chloe in KB were born during the Easter holidays. We congratulate both families and look forward to having them in the Kindergarten class of 2029!!

Enrolment Flyers - 5 flyers will be sent home with the eldest child from each family tomorrow. Please distribute these to family, friends, colleagues or team mates as you see necessary. Word of Mouth is always the best form of advertising and it costs nothing to come and take a tour of the school. We hope to see lots of new faces on the 16 and 18 May!
