Inclusivity, Respect and Belonging

Hello families!

We have been so busy at school. The past week we have had our Welcome Mass, the blessing and presentation of our student leaders, Harmony Day, World Maths Day and our fabulous learning in class.

We are inclusive, kind and caring at St Francis and on Harmony Day we celebrated our diversity and how we all belong. After our parade the student leaders read stories to our students to strengthen their understanding that we all belong. In our faction groups everyone participated in art activities that further highlighted how wonderful we all are. The students enjoyed being entertained by Father Rodrigo as he told them all about his life.

Our students are mathematicians in the making and World Maths Day provided the opportunity to further engage in our math learning. I loved the enthusiasm across the grades and saw so many mathematics strategies in play. I hope you have had some fun at home collaborating together to solve my mathematics problems. Keep an eye out for the solutions on Friday.

We have our Conversations for Learning next Tuesday and Wednesday. This will be an opportunity to discuss your child’s learning goals and hear about their journey so far in 2022. Please contact the classroom teacher if you have any further queries. Please use the link below to book your time.

The school holidays are just around the corner and I would like to remind everyone that Friday 8th April, is a school closure day for purpose of staff professional development. Vacation Care is available for this day, if you require this, please book this week as there are limited places available. For any queries, please contact the front office.

One of our families recommended to me a visit to Fogg Dam and I can report that my family had a fun visit and appreciated the beauty at sunset.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and I look forward to listening to the weekend adventures from the students.
