Dear Parents and Carers
Thank you to all the parents who took time to meet with their child's teachers last week. Communication and collaboration between us all is vital to providing a safe, nurturing and productive learning environment for our children.
Again we were blessed with wonderful weather to celebrate our St Clare's Feast Day on Monday 11 August. The students participated in a rangeof actviities led by Kaboom Sports during the day while also participating in buddy actviities in the morning and ending the day with a Zooper Dooper provided by Camp Australia. Lots of smiles and happiness were on show all around the school.
On Saturday evening we celebrated Mass at St Patrick's Church which was followed by pizza in the Parish Hall. Thank you to the families, staff and St Clare's Community who joined us for mass. And thank you to the amazing Choir led by Ms Ricchetti who sang beautifully during the Mass.
