Dear Families and Friends,

As we come to the end of Semester One I find myself sitting and reflecting on the journey we have travelled these past months as a community. I would like to thank everyone for their patience, persistence and dedication as we worked together to provide as much normality as possible while ensuring that everyone from St Francis remained safe and happy. I pray that as we move into Semester Two that some of the restrictions we have around the school may begin to be lifted so that we can begin to welcome back our families and friends to our school celebrations and other significant events.

Yesterday student reports were sent home. I know that families would have discussed these reports with their children and celebrated their successes and discussed ways to move forward with their challenges. Early next term we will be hosting our 'Conversations for Learning'. These will be held in week 2 on Tuesday the 28th of July and Wednesday the 29th of July. Parents can log onto sobs at https://sobs.com.au/pt3/parent.php?schoolid=864 from Monday the 13th of July to book their interview time with their child's teacher.

Please jump onto our Facebook page tomorrow to watch not only our class awards for week 10 but also for your entertainment, the choir perform.

ACARA is embarking on an organisation-wide project to redesign its website portfolio, which has a combined audience of over five million visitors a year. The aim of this project is to make sure you can easily access information on ACARA’s work and improve your website experience. Parents can contribute to three different surveys at

Tomorrow we have invited everyone to come to school in casual sun-smart and shoe safe clothes.

Once again thank you for your support throughout this semester. Wishing everyone a wonderful school holiday. We look forward to working with you next semester when students return on Tuesday the 21st of July.

Grow in Wisdom and Love.
