Dear Parents and Carers,

It’s hard to believe we are now past the halfway point of the term! The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of learning, growth, and connection—and we couldn’t have done it without your ongoing support.

We know this time of year can bring its own set of challenges: the novelty of the new term has worn off, routines are in full swing, and energy levels can dip. Yet through it all, our students have continued to show resilience, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning. Whether it’s tackling new academic concepts, navigating friendships, or simply showing up with a smile, their efforts have been inspiring.

To support our students as they Strive in Faith, Learning and Life, we are continuing to develop our schoolwide expectations matrix for behaviour as part of our multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) project.  So far, we have set expectations for before school, after school and moving around the school.  This week, we introduced clear and published expectations for eating times (see below).  Next on the list will be playtime, before we begin to move into the classroom space.  All of the expectations help create routines that are predictable for our students so they can continue to feel safe and supported at school.

Thank-you for your support as we move into the second half of Term 3.  As always, if you have any feedback, feel free to send me an email sam.hannant@twb.catholic.edu.au 

Have a great weekend.

Sam Hannant
