Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back to Term 3, which promises to be ten weeks full of various activities, gatherings and new learnings for young (and the not so young). I would like to highlight for your diaries (as mentioned in the last newsletter) that Week 3 is Catholic Education Week and while there are a number of events planned across the week, Tuesday (July 27) is a highlight with our 9am Whole School Mass, at St Patrick's Cathedral to which parents and grandparents are invited. (Check in via COVID QLD app).
Due to the uncertainty at the moment with COVID outbreaks, also that many of our grandparents would be in the vulnerable category and vaccine levels are not at desired levels, we have made the decision to postpone our Grandparents/ Open sessions until a time later in the year, when hopefully the situation is such that we feel confident that we are not putting anyone at unnecessary risk of exposure. Because we are a larger school and we always get such a great turn out for Granparents'/ Open Days, keeping adults socially distant is impossible.
Please pass on our apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment this decision causes, however we do intend to proceed with these very special events when we can.
Thursday of CEW is also busy, with some of the Year 5 and 6 students attending a Catholic Netball/ Touch Carnival however those staying at school (Prep to Year 6) will be attending a performance by Brainstorm Productions called "The Magic Words". Brainstorm was booked to present to us last year, however due to COVID was postponed. We look forward to joining with them and hearing their important message, this time about respectful behaviours.
