Dear St Clare's Community,

As we come to the end of Term 3 and look forward to spending time with loved ones over the school break, we reflect on the shared experiences we have been part of this term. Of course, the fete has been a highlight! The time and effort put into bringing an event like the fete together can not be understated. It takes great commitment from our whole community to make these events happen in such a spectacular way. As usual the term has been jam packed, we have been involved in Athletics, Cricket, Rugby & Netball on the field, and welcomed students from St. Rita’s to take part in the public speaking competition. Book Week and NAIDOC activities, visits from the Fire Brigade, students involved in the Sacramental Program, St. Clare’s Feast Day, a visit from Andrew Chinn, as well as all our usual learning!

Term 4 looks just as exciting - Year 4, 5 & 6 will all go on their camps in the first few weeks of term and our Water Safety Program will begin, culminating with the Swimming Carnival in Week 8, just to mention a few.

Staffing Updates

This week, Gita Sima is on Long Service Leave. Korma Byrne will be teaching in the Prep classroom.

Sadly, we are farewelling Paula Brumley at the end of the week. Paula has been at St. Clare’s this term in a support teacher role. We will miss her guidance and choreography skills immensely as she once again heads back home to family.

We welcome back from leave Jess Lang. Jess will return to Year 4, working Wednesday, Thursday & Friday and Amanda Baston will remain with us in Year 4, working Monday and Tuesday.

Finally, to all staff, students, parents and our community, all the best for the break. I hope the weather shines for us and we all have the opportunity to enjoy the amazing backyard we are lucky to have in this part of the world.

Term Four commences on Tuesday October 4^th.   

Sincerest blessings,
Karran Burzacott

Principal
