Principal's Message
Dear St Monica’s families and friends,
Mothers' Day
Whilst the 2nd Sunday in May, is the day we celebrate Mothers' Day, the entire month of May is dedicated to Mary, Mother of God and us all. Throughout May, the ways we can honour Mary are to pray the Rosary, say the Hail Mary, create a prayer corner with representation of our Blessed Mother eg small statue of Mary / Rosary Beads and a vase of flowers for her!
To all of the amazing women in our lives: mums, grandmothers, nans, neighbours, aunts, sisters, colleagues and friends. Happy Mothers' Day! May you be blessed with a sleep-in, warm cups of tea or coffee, snuggles and hugs, breakfast in bed and perhaps even some delightful treats from the Mothers' Day Stall! Join us from 8.15am, in the courtyard, for Danishes and a cuppa on us.
Visitors from St Benedict’s Mango Hill, Queensland
On Monday we had visitors from Benedict’s Primary School, Brisbane. I am indebted to my teachers who had open classroom doors and allowed our visitors to see some great teaching in action. They were really impressed with how “calm” our school was, as far as behaviour goes, which is testament to the important work we have put into around expectations, structures and routines.
Catholic schools enrolment period – The Catholic schools enrolment period is now open and will close on Friday 31 May. St Monica’s is hosting an Open Day tours and an Informtion Evening on Tuesday 14 May and Open Day tours on Thursday 16 May. (See attached flyer)
If you know of someone from the suburbs of Evatt, Melba, Spence or McKellar who is interested in coming and finding out more about our amazing school please invite them to our Open Days and encourage them to like and follow us on our Social Media pages too!
PLease note, sibling enrolments are not automatic. If you are an existing family at our school and you have a child ready for Kindergarten, you need to enrol them now! If you have a child in Year 6, please make sure you get your enrolment into your school of choice for Year 7.
Warmest wishes,
