Week 10, Term 3!! Only one more getup and it’s holiday time again. I hope all families get to enjoy some down time together. Perhaps you will go away camping, 

head to the coast, take a ride on the Ferris Wheel at Floriade, attend a Lego workshop or see a movie. Whatever it is you choose to do, enjoy the special time you get to spend as a family! Don’t forget to check bags over the weekend to ensure a banana or ham sandwich hasn’t been left at the bottom of a school bag or in a lunchbox!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all in the community for your support througout a very busy Term 3! Thank you to our volunteers for all that you do to assist us at school: fundraising intitiatives, canteen, classroom support, library assistance, uniform shop, coaching sporting teams, walkathon, gardening, the list goes on!! We could not provide the excellent learning environment without your ongoing support – Thank you.  

Thank you also to the St Monica’s staff for their unwavering professionalism and commitment to providing a holistic education for your children in a safe and caring environment.  Thank you especially for your patience through what has been a terrible flu season, with a number of teachers and students away sick this term. I wish all of my staff a well-earned rest and hope they return to school in Term 4 feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and revitalised.  

 *** Students return for Term 4 on Monday 9 October ***

SUMMER UNIFORM - A reminder that students are to wear their Summer Uniform again in Term 4. Please check the wardrobe, as tomorrow is your last chance to visit the Clothing Pool before the holidays! We will have the usual transition period early in Term 4 to cater for any unpredictable weather. 

Farewell - This week we say farewell to the Singh family - Gurnoor (2 Blue). We wish them all the very best.

Save the Date... all parents, including our incoming families for Kindergarten and other year levels for next year, are invited to to our 'Open Forum School Council Gathering' next term, to be held at 6.30pm on Tuesday 24 October. At this event we  call for nominations for the 2024 School Council, discuss key intitiatives for next year and participate in a workshop with the Family Engagement Officer from Catholic Education - Sarah Rose.
