Dear Parents and Carers, 

Mrs Narelle Bower will be taking leave from Term 4. Week 10 this Term will be her final week with us, she will be relocating from the Illawarra area.  Mrs Bower is moving to the Central West where she is hoping to continue teaching in schools within her area. She has stated that she will miss our St Columbkille's community greatly however, is very much looking forward to this new change. Arrangements for a replacement for Mrs Bower during this time will be communicated in the coming weeks. I take this opportunity to thank Mrs Bower for her many years of dedication, professionalism and commitment to St Columbkille's.

Mrs Lorraine Hatton will take on an additional day and work in Kindergarten replacing Mrs Sarah McMillan and Mrs Sue Fulwood will work one day a week, replacing Lorraine.  We welcome back Sue Fulwood to our school community and thank Lorraine Hatton for taking on additional days for the remainder of 2025.

A reminder regarding school uniform.  Student can transition to Summer uniform from Monday 1st September (Week 7) - during the transition week, students may choose to wear either the Summer or Winter Uniform, but not a combination of both. Change Over to Summer Uniform will occur on Monday 8th September (Week 8) - all students must wear the Summer Uniform.

Go well, 

Mrs Maria Disibio 

Acting Principal
