Dear Families and Friends,
|
Last term staff participated in the professional learning day organised by the Catholic Education Office titled 'Celebrating Care For Our Common Home in Catholic Education Northern Territory.' This day was informed from Pope Francis’ letter Laudato Si’ (On care for our Common Home) which invites us to develop our understanding of integral ecology and to develop our worldview, where everybody and everything is connected.
|
Meaning that people and planet are part of one family where the Earth is our common home. It invites people to protect God's creation for future generations, to embrace a lifestyle change for their own good, and to take care of people who are poor and more vulnerable.
|
St Francis of Assisi is always looking at ways to take better care of the environment. Our gardening club has reunited to complete our Landcare project that was awarded to the school earlier this year. We are being very conscious of recycling, making sure our refuse is being placed in the correct bin. The worm farm is continuingly being fed with our fruit and veggie scraps and last week hand dryers were installed in the student bathrooms.
|
Thank you to all our families who supported our 'Pie Day' at school today. All monies raised will go directly to the Parents and Friends.
|
Our 2022 enrolment interviews are currently being held. Please contact the office on 8988 1212 to book your interview. Our Transition Orientation mornings will be held on Wednesday the 24th and Thursday the 25th of November. Please let extended family and friends know.
|
Next Friday we celebrate 'World Teacher's Day'. The AITSL website has a number of suggestion how you can thank our staff at St Francis. Go to https://worldteachersday.edu.au/for-parents-community.
