It has been a very busy term three filled with lots of sporting, academic and spiritual events.

We have had Barney and Jack R progress to the Western Region Public speaking and Barney representing at the Archdiocese Public speaking which was fantastic. On the sporting field we have participated in Trent Barrett, Mortimer shield and had lots of fun on our 3-6 ski trip.  We have welcomed our new Kindergarten students for 2026 with two of our Orientation Days. Staff have been involved in lots of Professional development throughout the term with the most recent being with the team from Royal Far West who also ran a parent session and gave parents the opportunity to come in for a drop in sessions and talk to the clinicians. Emerson and Emily Matthews celebrated the sacrament of Reconciliation which was very special and significant in the girls faith journey. It will be great for both staff and students to hit the recharge button over the next couple of weeks and ensure that they have a well deserved rest. School resumes for students on Tuesday 14^th October.

Good luck to Ollie Corbett who is participating in the MacKillop athletics trials tomorrow. We wish you the best of the luck and know that you will give it your all!

I have been given a date for our Official opening of our new school buildings – Term 4, Week 5, Wednesday 12^th November. More details will come next term, but it will be very exciting to officially open our beautiful new facilities.

Amber, James and Mitchell will hold their Yr 6 fundraiser this Thursday – raising funds for the make a wish foundation. Students are asked to bring in their gold coins for a raffle, canteen and guessing competition. Blue clothing or mufti can be worn on the day.

We will have a working bee on the last weekend of the school holidays – mainly to tidy up the grounds and gardens and complete some jobs to ensure our school looks fabulous for the upcoming term.

I hope that families enjoy the next two weeks with their children, and I look forward to working with you for another fabulous term.

Blessings for a great week,

Kirsty Beavan
