Thank you to the many parents, grandparents and special friends that were able to join us for our end of year Christmas Celebration. It was certainly a beautiful occasion, as we were led through the story of the very first Christmas. I would like to acknowledge Ms Katrina Feil, Creative Arts extraordinaire who so capably organised this event. Also to the Parents and Friends Executive who prepared a delicious sausage sizzle and grazing boxes. 

As we conclude the school year, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Fr Duane Fernandez and Sr Kerry Gardiner for their outstanding  leadership. Their presence and pastoral support has ensured we are an authentic Catholic school, true to our Vision. 

I would also like to thank the Parents and Friends Executive led by Jane Brejniak (President). The ongoing support of parents has meant that much needed funds have been raised to support the learning and faith development of the children. 

Staffing 2024

Today the children met their new class teachers, at our annual “Promotions Morning”.

It was here that I was able to officially announce the staff for the new school year.

I am proud, as a result of healthy enrolments, that we are able to offer additional programs, including Performing Arts and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), along with support staff and additional teachers across Kindergarten to Year Six. 

Next year we welcome the following staff:

Mr Rodney Green, Mr Nik Sajdovski and Ms Maria Shea. These three teachers bring a wealth of experience and we are looking forward to welcoming them to our community. 

We also farewell Mrs Nicole Checkly, who was the successful applicant for the Religious Education Coordinator position at St Brigid’s, Gwynneville. Congratulations Nicole, you will be greatly missed. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the following School Support Officers who have been on temporary contracts throughout 2023. They have worked tirelessly to support our children - Massimo Copeta, Emma Bujaroski and Lisa Aramayo.

My hope is that our children have a well deserved rest over the Christmas period and that all of our families have a safe and happy Christmas, remembering the story of the very First Christmas, when our Saviour Jesus Christ was born. 

Yours Sincerely

Pauline Chrostowski - Principal
