Dear St Clare's Community,

Term 4 is certainly flying by in what is an extremely busy term, both with learning and extra-curricular events.  We have been extremely fortunate to have a number of events already, such as Day for Daniel, Crazy Sock Day and the Melbourne Cup Hat Parade. It is wonderful to see students and staff connecting on these special occasions, this sense of community is part of what makes St. Clare’s such a special place. We have a few more of these opportunities to gather on the horizon, with the Year 6 class busily organising the mini fete, the swimming carnival and concert and BBQ ahead.

Building Update

The timeline for any works to start on the amenities upgrade, classroom & tuck shop refurbishment will most likely push out to next year. We were hopeful that demolition works would take place over the December break, however that is now unlikely. The project will go to tender soon as details continue to be finalised. We anticipate that the process will begin in Term 1, 2023.

School Leaders 2023

Yr 5 students are currently preparing their speeches and campaign posters to be presented in Week 8 for School Captain and House Captain positions. Speeches will be presented to the school body on Monday November 21st. Speeches will begin at 9:30am for School Captains and House Captain speeches will follow as soon as School Captain votes have been cast. Parents of Year 5 students are welcome to join us.

School Fees

Thank you to all families who have made their school fee payment. Please ensure that fees are finalised prior to the end of the term. If you wish to discuss outstanding fees please contact the office to make an appointment.

For those who pay their fees by direct debit or Bpay we appreciate if payments continue over the holidays to ensure there will be no outstanding fees starting 2023.      

Blessings for the week ahead,

Karran Burzacott
Principal
