Dear Parents and Carers,

How lucky are we to be a part of such a wonderful community at St Saviour's Primary School?

The school athletics carnival on Friday of last week was a perfect example of 'community'. It was evident that SSPS students are very connected to their school and, in particular, their sport house. The participation and determination in events (even when it was hard) to gain points for their house was notable, as was the cheering that occurred  during every single event on the day.  The sportsmanship and comradery was exceptional.

Not to be outdone, the parents who came to support their child/ren showed terrific spirit.  Last newsletter, I wrote about parent engagement verses parent involvement.  The involvement of parents on this day was truly special.  A mention to Renee Kilpatrick and the parents who assisted on the BBQ to raise funds for the Parent Engagement Network, as well as those parents who came out injury free after competing in the Year 6 relay. Also to Mr Warren, our school groundsman, who worked extra hours to transport the BBQ, bins and other items, whilst also finding the time to turn a few sausages on the day.  

Finally, to the staff of St Saviour's Primary School whose dedication on the day and support of each and every child is truly appreciated.  From Mr Luck who set up with the assistance of his car headlights, to the teachers and school officers who looked after our youngest students during the rotations or were an official at an event; your collaboration and determination was evident.  

Of course, whilst all of the above was evident on Friday, the sense of 'community' at St Saviour's Primary is always there.  It is always valued.  It is very much appreciated.

I hope your children enjoy their well deserved holiday.  I will see you all back at school in Term 3.
