Dear Parents and Caregivers
It is hard to believe that we have come to the end of Term 2. I cannot remember a time in my teaching career when Term 2 has been as cold or as wet as what this term has been!
Because of COVID restrictions earlier in the year, it was this term that parents were allowed back on school sites for the first time since last year to attend Liturgies and Assemblies. For some of our parents and caregivers, this would have been the first time allowed on our sites. We hope that parents and caregivers continue to join us at these events as they happen throughout the year.
Community Events
In the final fortnight of the term, we were fortunate to be able to come together as a community on 2 occasions. The first was our Quiz Night. A special thanks to Charlotte Hutchesson for coordinating the event and to the small band of volunteers who supported Charlotte and the P&F Committee on the night. There was lots of fun and laughter that night and I think everyone had a great time.
Sports Day was the second event which brought the community together. This year, we were fortunate to have St Ignatius Oval available for us and even though it was the middle of winter, we were blessed with a perfect day. I would like to thank St Ignatius Junior School for allowing us to use this facility. As well, I would also like to thank Mrs Didyk for coordinating a successful day as well as all the staff, students and volunteers for their support. To all the parents and caregivers on the day, thank you for joining us. It was a great end to a very long term.
A final reminder of results for the day:

Parent and Teacher Learning Conversations: Term 3, Week 2
Parent and Teacher Learning Conversations will be occurring face-to-face, in your child’s classroom next term from Tuesday 2 August until Thursday 4 August. Booking information will be distributed via Skoolbag shortly. If you would prefer to have a phone conversation instead, please advise your child’s class teacher, so that a suitable time can be arranged.
I would like to extend to all families my wishes for a safe and happy 2-week break. I look forward to seeing you all on your return on Monday 25 July.
Yours sincerely
Grace Vassallo-Wakefield
