Pupil Free Day

30 Mar 2021

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

Ross Fox

Director

Harmony and Grandparents Day postponed.

19 Mar 2021

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 26^th. 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

Ursula Jamieson

Principal
