Dear Parents and Carers

Stage Two Building Works
We are nearing the end point of the refurbishment of the Eastern end of the building. The handover date of mid-November appears to be within expectations. As well as the refurbishment of the building the Grant allowed for the replacement of furniture including the children’s chairs and tables and additional soft furnishings. We took the opportunity to buy additional furniture in order to future plan for any growth including the possibility that the school may one day return to double stream.

I would like to thank the Community Council which has agreed to fund the overrun in expenditure.

Senior Playground Equipment
After a longer than expected construction time, we have been told that the new Senior Playground will be open for use next Monday.

This will be a day of great happiness for all our playground playing children who have been eagerly awaiting this day!

Out of Hours Care
For the next week I am seeking the support of parents whose children attend Before and or After School Care at our school. The current provider, OSHClub is nearing the end of their three-year contract. The renewal process, as required by the Catholic Education Office, will be to either reappoint the existing provider, or open the process to tender for other prospective providers.

The decision as to which way the school will proceed, will be based, in large part, on the information collected from your responses. Please follow this link: https://forms.gle/QMbF9XQFA9VGgxKk8

A panel comprising, a member of the School Community Council whose children attend Before or After School Care, Petra Cole and I will action the review process.

If you have not already done so, please make every effort to complete the survey.

May God bless you and your families.

Graham Pollard
