Good afternoon Parents, Guardians and Students,
This week we begin Week 4 of Term 4!!
Last week, I received permission to add an additional Primary classroom in 2020 due to a strong Prep enrolment and an experienced new teacher was appointed to the Head of Primary role, Isabelle Millien, which is very exciting. Some of you may have heard on the grape vine that Mrs Webb was leaving at the end of the year, however I’m delighted to inform you that she will be with us again in 2020.
We are still working on a replacement for Ms Panagiotaros but hope to have that positioned filled in the next couple of weeks. Ms Panagiotaros is moving to Melbourne to be closer to her adult children. We wish her the
very best and thank her for the passion and dedication she has bought to her role.
Last week our Year 10 students took the Primary and Secondary students on a powerful spiritual journey encouraging the students to trust and develop their faith in God. The messages through song, activities and spoken word each day were practical and heartfelt. I was very proud of their efforts throughout the week.
A hearty thank you to all those who have filled in the Satisfaction survey forms emailed to you from Vividus. If you have been unable to make time as yet to complete the form, I’d like to encourage you to do so as the information is considered.
Please note the student free days coming up next week along with the Year 7-9 Exam timetable.
REMINDERS - have you.....• walked, ridden or scootered to school yet this month for ‘Walk to
School’ month?!• received your email link for our Parent Survey?

Last week we had three teams represent the school at Inter-school Basketball. There was some very tough competition but our students played well and displayed great sportsmanship.
Our boys managed to win a game while both of the girls teams faced very talented teams.
Well done to all those who participated!

A Message from our Student Welfare Officer
This week I thought I would put in something that gave me a bit of a laugh, I hope you can have a chuckle too.
Have a great week.
