Dear Parents and Carers,

As we move towards the last week of term, I can finally say that our Year 3 and Year 4 classes have moved into their new rooms. We are very grateful for the support of the Catholic School's Office for prioritising our school and the Building and Development Fund that our families contribute to that allows for this work to be completed. Alhtough there is some way to go in the completion of the outdoor spaces, I have included some photos of the new classrooms in case you haven't been able to visit.

I hope that all our families had the opprtunity to visit the classrooms this week as part of the Student Led Conferences or to meet with your child's teacher in the Goal Setting Conversations. We are strengthening our relationships between home and school through the development of a feedback culture and focusing on the learning growth of all students. Thank you for your positive participation in both of these options. Please take the time to complete the 3 question survey depending on which option you had so we can continue to improve.

It was great to receive some positive feedback this week form one of our parents who took up the opportunity to attend the workshop provided by our Diocese on Anxiety and Resilience. Keep your eye out for more events through the year.

"....I just finished up watching the webinar from Justin Coulson tonight about Anxiety and Resilience and it was great. I always love seeing / hearing from Justin so I thought I'd say thanks to Holy Name / Catholic Education for organising such insightful and educational talks..."

I wish you all a safe and happy Easter Season,
