Dear Parents, 

The term is moving quickly along and we are grateful that to date, we have been able to operate in a reasonably regular capacity. Thank you to parents for their continued support in keeping children at home when they are unwell. It is greatly appreciated. 

Our Little Learner’s Program has had a very positive start with approximately 10 children attending the program. Thank you to Tash Smith for providing an exciting program each week for our little people. Little Learners runs every Friday from 9.00am until 11.00am and is open to all children up to 5 years of age.  

This Friday 14th August, we will host our 2021 Kindergarten Information session commencing at 9.30am at St Patrick’s School. Please encourage any family or friends with children ready to begin school next year, to come along and find out about our great little school. COVID regulations will be in place to ensure everyone’s safety. 

Our 2021 Kindergarten Orientation dates have also been set and advertised for Term 4. Once again we ask your assistance in encouraging family and friends to send along any children that are ready for Kindergarten next year. Please see the dates in the newsletter. 

Catholic Education, have offered the opportunity for our Year 3 and Year 5 students to particpate in the 2020 NAPLAN Reading and Writing practice assessments, with the data being collated by the office. This will be held in Weeks 6 and 7 of this term with a report being sent back to the school by the end of Term 3. Parents will not receive an individual NAPLAN report but the information will be used collectively by the school to inform teaching practice. 

It is so wonderful to see the local creeks running and the Murrumbigee River filled with water after the lovely rain over the weekend. Please keep in your prayers those communities down the South Coast that have experienced torrential rain and flooding over the weekend. These communities have also suffered through devastating bushfires at the beginning of the year and continue to battle the elements of nature.  

Best wishes for a wonderful week ahead.
