Dear Parents, Guardians & Carers,

Welcome back to term 2, we trust you all had an enjoyable Easter and holidays.  We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Mrs Destiny Kirkup & Mrs Kylie Pardo to our admin team.  Both Destiny and Kylie will begin work next week.  Sadly Mrs Jocelyn Adams will be finishing up on Friday 12th May.  We wish Jos every happiness during her travels and you never know we might see her back filling in when needed. 

Whilst we are only in week 2 it has already been incredibly busy with lots of events happening.

This week our Year 4 students enjoyed their time at Camp Coonawarra.  They experienced many activities which included: The Flying Fox, Giant Swing, High Ropes, Hut Building to name a few.

We had 29 students represent our school at the District Cross Country on Tuesday morning which was held at Agnes Brereton Reserve.  Congratulations to all those who competed.  St Gabriel’s runners were very successful and we came home with the shield for winning the overall event.  Further information will be sent to the families of runners who were successful at making it to the next stage.

Our Year 5 students are looking forward to their upcoming camp which is to be held in week 4: 17-19th May at Phillip Island Adventure Camp.  Final communications will be sent to families over the next couple of weeks so please ensure you are checking for these.

Next week on Thursday 11th May we will be holding our annual Mother’s Day Mass at St Michael’s Church beginning at 9.30am.  We’d love to see you all there.  The Mother’s Day stall will be held on Friday 12th May and payment is via CDFpay.  Please see the flyer in this newsletter and previous emails sent via PAM about this.

Kind Regards

Michelle
