Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Week 5! As expected, this term is flying along, with the end of year activities on the horizon. Last Wednesday, we had a hugely successful gathering for our 2021 Grandparents' Day, with approximately 235 family members able to join us for Mass (Catholic Mission), our Socktober Kick Off and our open sessions in classrooms. Comments, particularly from grandparents, were heartwarming as many had not been able to visit the school for quite a while, due to restrictions and distance.

Madonna Sleba had a lovely letter (handwritten and posted), a part of which I have included here...

"To the Principal, we had the pleasure of attending the Grandparents' Morning ....yesterday with our grand-daughter... We thoroughly enjoyed it, and it will stay with us as one of these special memories to keep forever in our hearts.

We travelled in from Taroom especially for the Grandparents' Morning and then my husband returned to Taroom. The early start and the hours of travel were well worth it, offset by the wonderful experience that we had at St Saviour's Primary School.

Congratulations on all the wonderful work that you and all the staff are doing, creating our leaders of tomorrow."  

Many photos were taken on the day, with just a small sample included below. We are already talking about what we might do for Grandparents' Day next year!

SSPS Christmas Concert (Saturday November 20- from 3:30pm)

Parents and families please ensure that you have date-claimed the Saturday, just over two weeks away as you won't want to miss the wonderful performances by all the students, presenting a combination of Music, Drama & Dance with a festive feel!

Students are invited to wear something "Christmasy" but practical, that they can safely move around on the stage in. Performances will commence in the Mercy Centre at 3:30pm and should be done by 4:30 with a BBQ and socialising continuing on afterwards. 

The order of classes, commencing with Year 5s, is below. Further information about where to drop off and collect your child/ren will be communicated closer to the day. We look forward to seeing you all then.
