Thanks to the P & F for organising the Welcome BBQ and Prep Afternoon Tea. Special thanks to Mrs Biggar our Tuckshop Convenor for baking the afternoon tea delights for our Prep parents and children. It went down like a treat!
School Student Protection Contacts:
The safety and wellbeing of our students is of the highest importance at St Saviour’s Primary School. As with all non state schools, we have nominated School Student Protection Contacts who are staff members to whom students can raise concerns of abuse, harm or inappropriate behaviour by a staff member. Just a reminder to you and your child that at St Saviour’s Primary School, our School Student Protection Contacts are:
Anne Woodcroft-Brown (School Counsellor)
Samuel Hannant (Assistant Principal Administration)
Rachel Harlen (Year 6 Class Teacher)
Madonna Sleba (Principal)
All school staff receive regular training and information to be able to respond to student protection concerns. Please contact the Principal should you have any queries regarding student protection processes at St Saviour’s Primary School.
Principal Appraisal: March 9th 2021
Any parents wanting to participate in my Principal Appraisal please either let me or the office know as soon as possible.
The interviews will be scheduled for 20 minutes and structured around three broad questions.
- What would you name as Madonna's major achievements over the last four years?
- Looking forward to the next four years, what do you see should be the focus of Madonna's leadership?
- Are there any other comments you would offer?

SCHOOL FEES
Thank you to those who have enquired about Term 1 School Fee statements and to those who have already commenced payments for the year. Unfortunately, the fee statements which are normally issued by Week 2/3 of the term have been delayed due to the Toowoomba Catholic Schools Office finance system upgrade. We are working with the TCS' School Accountant to issue these in the next few weeks.
Our Catholic Schools receive minimal Government funding so we are required to devise a school fee system that ensures we provide both the services and the resources necessary for the best possible education for your children.
The fees are spent in the following ways:
• Resources: Classroom and Curriculum resources including and not exclusive to sporting equipment, library books, musical instruments, interactive whiteboards, laptops and e -kindles.
• Wages: Secretaries, Teacher Aides, Relief Teachers, Cleaners and Groundsman.
• Purchasing, replacement and repairs of all school equipment - Information Technology, Furniture.
• Photocopying and printing - coloured paper, maintenance and copy costs, school stationery.
• Electricity, insurance, postage, phone, rates, excess water and general cleaning and maintenance expenses.
• Maintenance of buildings, ground improvements and Capital Development.
Thank you in advance for your payment.
Thanks for reading,
Madonna
