Dear Parents and Carers

I cannot believe that we are heading into Week 7!  I think this week is timely given the fast pace of Term 1… parent information night, swimming carnival, gala days, parent meet and greets, establishing new school routines, establishing new home routines, the list is never ending!

I always enjoy the opportunity to take a breath in Week 7.  This week is our Sabbath Week and traditionally it is a week free from homework. I like to think of it as an opportunity to try and slow the pace a little. We hope this week provides families the opportunity to spend a little more time together and a moment to unwind as we head into the back end of term 1.

I wanted to share that it has warmed my heart to see so much generosity around our school and to witness so many thoughtful actions. I have seen students clean up our school community, give so much through Project Compassion, support one another in our swimming carnival, classroom life and playground interactions.

Our Year 6 leaders have taken their role seriously, organising activities, sharing information, leading by example. The care they have shown to the new students to our school and of course their Kinder buddies has been inspiring.

We then have our Fete committee working tirelessly behind the scenes to organise our school fete.  We thank them for their continued coordination and we are so excited for everything they are doing to make our fete happen.

Our teachers continue to work tirelessly to support all our students and each other! Honestly what an amazing school community we are all a part of here at St Monica’s.
