Dear parents and carers,

I am sure you would all agree that we are so fortunate to live in this wonderful country, Australia. As we listen to the reports of extreme weather events occurring across Europe and America, not to mention the strife and tragedy in Afghanistan, it makes us more grateful than ever to be living in this relatively safe and free country. Even with all that is going on with Covid, it is timely to help our students appreciate and enjoy our living conditions and maintain a positive outlook.

This is the time of the year when families are thinking about school, for 2022, for their potential Prep children. It is important for any current families who are intending to enrol children in St Gabriel’s for 2022, to do so immediately. We have more enrolment applications than we can accommodate and I need to let people know if they have received a place. Obviously current families get preference, however, enrolments closed last term and I need to be fair to others who may need to look elsewhere. If you have not yet sent the enrolment in and are expecting your child to attend Prep next year, please contact the school immediately.

If there are any families intending on moving from St Gabriel’s in 2022 for any reason please contact the office.

Year 4 students had a very enjoyable camp this week. Thanks to all concerned in making this camp such a positive experience.

Best wishes,

Roslyn Joyner
