Dear Parents and Carers

We were blessed with perfect weather for our Years 3 to 6 Athletics Carnival on Monday.  It was wonderful to see everyone having the opportunity to particpate in all the different events.  A huge thank you to all the staff involved, events such as these require a great deal of coordination and support from all staff.  We also thank the parents who assisted on the day. Mr Murphy is currently working through all the results to identify who will represent St Clare's at the upcoming SSV District Athletics Carnival.

We are very proud of our girls soccer team who represented St Clare's in the SSV Cardinia Division Winter Sport Finals last Friday.  They should great sportsmanship and determination to finish runners up.  Well done!

Sports are definitely on the agenda at the moment with our Year 6 students currently particpating in Interschool Sports with other local Catholic Primary Schools on Friday afternoons, playing AFL, Newcomb and Netball.  This Friday sees our Grey teams at home playing against St Michael's while our Red teams will be travelling to Don Bosco in Narre Warren.

Parent Teacher meetings continue this afternoon from 3.30pm in the modular building. It has been great to see so many parents taking up the opporunity to catch up with their children's teachers.  It really is a team effort and important that we work together to provide the best learning environment and opportunities for all students.

St Clare's Feast Day is Monday 11 August with lots happening to celebrate.  There will be Mass at St Patrick's Church on Saturday 9 August at 6pm which will be followed by pizza in the Parish Hall.  We invite and encourage all families to join us for Mass and pizza afterwards.

On Monday 11 August the students will be placed in multi aged groups to participate in a range of activities led by Kaboom Sports.  Parents are invited and welcome to join us from 11.15am.  After Lunch the students will receive a Zooper Dooper which have been provided by Camp Australia for all students. 

Students are to wear sports uniform on Monday 11 August
