Dear Parents and Carers
A Prayer as we start the new School Year
God of the Journey,
Companion, Friend and Guide
Throughout time you have travelled with your people,
teaching, urging, caring
and giving light for the way.
As we set out on the journey of this year,
be with us, O Lord.
And set ablaze your light within each of us,
so that we may help each other on the way.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Light. Amen
A sincere "Welcome" to everyone, especially those families who are new to our community. I hope that whatever comes your way in 2022, that you will find encouragement, support and a listening ear, here at St Saviour's Primary School. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns, particularly about the Religious Life of our School or the RE Program.
We have had to postpone our Opening School Mass for the time being, with year level classes now holding their own Welcome Liturgy, just with the students.
The St Pat's Cathedral Parish Sacramental Program will still take place this semester, though in a modified format. Enrolment Forms are due back now, for anyone wanting to take part, with resources to be sent home next week. Please contact me via the school office, if you need a form sent home.
SAFE TRAVELS ROYA
We take this opportunity to wish our ICT Support Officer, Roya Esmaeilani, a wonderful trip home to Iran where she will spend time with her beloved family whom she hasn't seen for five years. Roya will be head to Isfahan, the largest city outside Tehran for 4 weeks, before bringing her parents out to stay with her and her husband, here in Toowoomba.
In Roya's absence, Mr Sam Hayes will be looking after our IT needs, after spending time here this Friday with Roya. Sam comes to us having already worked within the TCS system.
UNIFORM REMINDERS:
Thank you to all parents/ carers for your efforts with regards to outfitting your child/ren for the start of the new year. It has been wonderful to see the shiny new shoes, smart haircuts and pristine new uniforms. Just a reminder that:
- Yrs 1-6 students must have a formal hat (sports hat is optional)
- SSPS sports socks are required as part of the sports uniform
- No nail polish or excess jewelery
- Earrings: Plain sleepers/ studs only
Thank you in advance for attending to these requirements. We are very proud of our SSPS uniform.
