Pupil Free Day
| Pupil Free Days 2021 |

Dear Parents and Carers,
RE: Pupil Free Day, Monday 19 April You will already have been advised by your principal that the first day of term 2, 19 April, will be a pupil free day across all systemic Catholic schools in the ACT. In order to provide the best possible teaching and learning for every student there is a significant need to support teachers and school staff with professional learning opportunities that better position them to meet the expectations and needs of our school communities and students. Monday 19 April has therefore been set aside as a pupil free day to support the learning and development of teachers and school staff. The first day of school for all students at ACT systemic Catholic schools will be Tuesday 20 April. Each school will communicate relevant arrangements for opportunities to access out of school hours care where this is required. Thank you for your understanding and continuing support for Catholic education. Good wishes

Harmony and Grandparents Day postponed.
Dear Parents and Carers
Unfortunately the weather forecast for Monday is for a high chance of rain (90%). We are making the decision now to postpone Harmony and Grandparents day, rather than have people travel and prepare for a day that is ultimately cancelled.
We will postpone to Friday next week, March 26th. We apologise for any convenience this may cause. Although we are disappointed that it won’t happen on Monday, we look forward to it happening on Friday.
Kind regards

Year 5/6 Camp 2021
Dear Parents and Carers of our 2021 Year 5/6 class
I am pleased to be able to give you some information regarding the school camp this year. Due to COVID we have moved our usual time for camp in Term 1 to Term 2. We were booked to go to Sydney but we have made the decision not to go to a busy city and to do a country sport and recreation camp instead. We are booked into the Outdoor Pursuits COOBA Camp, from Monday May 3rd to Wednesday May 5th. Cooba is situated at Berridale in NSW, about half way between Cooma and Jindabyne. St Thomas’ have attended this camp many times before and it’s always been a terrific experience.
The cost for the camp is $345 and payment is required before the date of camp. Many parents opt to pay in instalments and this can be done by using the Qkr app or speak to Naomi for other options.
More details will be sent home by the Year 5/6 teachers in the next few weeks.
Kind regards
Ursula Jamieson
