Dear Parents and Carers

We hope that everyone had a lovely weekend and had an opportunity to spend valuable time with family and recharge for the final 4 weeks of Term 1.

Today our Year 3 and Year 5 students commence their NAPLAN assessments.  These will take place at various times over the next week as outlined in emails sent to the relevant year levels. As advised NAPLAN is only a "snapshot" of their learning and we just ask all students to do their best.  Once results are received which is generally late in Term 2 they will be sent home to parents.

UNIFORM UPDATE

As we enter our tenth year of St Clare's, through consultation with students, parents and staff we will be making some alterations to our school uniform.  The traditional white shirts will be replaced with a modern unisex shirt in both short and long sleeve which can be worn by both girls and boys.  The shirt collaborates our traditional colous of grey, red and white and looks very smart - we will issue a photo once received from Noone. The new design shirts should be avaible from Noone early Term 2.  With the change in shirt design, a decision has been made to move away from ties for both the boys and girls.

Students will be able to wear either the existing white shirts or the new unisex shirts during the change over of uniform.  We envisage that all students will be wearing the new shirts by 2027.
