Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope this edition of our school newsletter finds you well?
I would again like to extend my sincere thanks to our P&F for the outstanding Family Fun Night. I have received a number of emails and face to face positive pieces of feedback regarding the evening and all the students I have spoken to mentioned that they definetly enjoyed themselves. The event raised $7285, which is a wonderful result. So again, thank you P&F!
The staff of St Columbkille's would also like the thank the P&F for their generosity in providing morning tea and lunch on Wednesday 30 October in celebration of World Teacher Day. Thanks also goes to the Young Engineer group who purchased coffees and hot drinks for the staff on this day. Thank you P&F and Young Engineers for showing your appreciation for the staff of St Columbkille's.
Teachers Kindergarten through to Year 6 are currenlty collating assessment data and are commencing the completion of the Semester Two Academic Reports. These reports will be published via Compass on Thursday 5 December. Teachers use a range of data sets collected throughout the semester to complete individual reports. Post the publishing of the reports parents will have the opportunity to meet with the class teacher/s to discuss the Academic Reports. These meetings are optional. Students who have been enrolled recently at St Columbkille's will receive a narrative report.
Wellbeing Week is acknowledged each Term during Week 5. Staff enjoy no meetings during this week and take the time to check in with themselves and their colleagues, family and friends about their wellbeing. I encourage you to introspectively assess your own well-being and furthermore, to extend concern to colleagues, friends, and family by initiating conversations about their health and overall well-being.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another". John 13:34
Enjoy the fortnight.
