Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope that you are safe and well.

As we complete the fourth week of remote learning, collectively (staff, parents and carers) we have performed incredibly well to support the well-being and learning needs of our students and one another. Students are engaged in their learning and submitting some creative, interesting and exceptional work. It has been a highlight each week to be invited into each grade's zooms and have enjoyed the energy, conversations and connection that our students. Thank you to our staff and your support in affording us the time to invest in these opportunities.

As we move into Week 4, I hope that you have found a rhythm at home that is supportive and sustainable for your family, work and student remote learning. Please ensure that you have read the attached 'Student Remote Learning' expectations and information regarding attendance both on and off-site. Please refer to letter - NSW Health, CEDoW and SCC Reminder - Attendance.

On Friday 13 August at 9:30am we will re-commence our SCC Award Assemblies via zoom. We will celebrate our week of learning with both merit and core value awards. After the assembly, we will have  virtual 'Coffee, Chat and Check-in'. We would love to see you on Zoom at our Award Assembly and 'Coffee, Chat and Check-in'.

Mary MacKillop was born in 1842 in Fitzroy, Melbourne. On 8 August 1909, she died, having suffered a disabling stroke in 1902. This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of Australia’s only saint - St Mary of the Cross, Mary MacKillop. Mary was a woman ahead of her time, others believe just a resilient, hardworking dedicated woman who saw a need and actioned a response. “Never see a need without doing something about it.” Thanks largely to Mary MacKillop we currently celebrating 200 years of Catholic education in Australia.

On Monday at 11:30am we invite our school community to acknowledge and celebrate  St Mary of the Cross Mackillop's Feast day via zoom. Please refer to the attached link: https://dowcatholic.zoom.us/j/61990746889

'In supporting others - listen to their ideas, celebrate in their victories and remind them of their importance after their failures. A little support can go a very long way in someone's life'

As we continue to live and work with Level 4 restrictions, please let me know if there is anything that we can help you with moving into Week 5. Look after yourselves and each other. Thank you for your patience, feedback and continued work with our staff in supporting well-being, safety and learning of our students.

Stay safe and connected. Enjoy a peaceful weekend.

Take care
