Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
Today we celebrated a beautiful Mother’s Day Mass at St Michael’s Church. It was lovely to see so many mothers & grandmothers in attendance. The church was overflowing. A special thank you to our musicians, Alison, Amanda & Claire who always do a beautiful job, however today was extra special with their tribute to our mums.
Tomorrow our Parents & Friends will once again be holding their Mother’s Day Stall. Payment for this is via CDFpay. Please note this will close on Thursday 9th May. We will not be providing gifts to students and sending home an IOU note for any families who have not paid in advance. This is to ensure that we are respectful of all families who may have made the decision not to purchase a gift.
Congratulations to our School Captains who were great representatives of the school at the Anzac Day Parade. It was also lovely to see so many happy faces and waves from the students watching the parade as we walked past. Thank you for your support!
As you will be aware from our email last week, we are currently in discussions with a Before/After School Care Provider in regards to the possibility of them running a program at St Gabriel’s. This will also take into consideration the option of a school holiday program as well. Both St Gabriel’s and St Michael’s are looking at this option and if we do go with the options it may be that a combined holiday program is run at one of the schools. Thank you to all of the families who completed the survey which has enabled us to determine the viability of this running at the school. We will be providing regular updates to families regarding our discussions and progress.
