From The Principal's Desk
Dear St Clare's Community,
Welcome to Week 4! I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine - we certainly are at St. Clare’s! Term 4 is going full steam ahead with many exciting things happening.
Staff Appreciation Day
On Friday 28th October, we acknowledge and thank all the staff at St. Clare’s for always working towards providing the best possible opportunities for our students. 
Our teachers, school officers and support staff work extremely hard to make St. Clare’s the amazing community that it is. We will celebrate on Friday with a morning tea, made possible with contributions from our P&F, Catholic Education Services Cairns and St. Clare’s. Thank you St. Clare’s - you are an amazing and very special staff.
Enrolments 2024
While we do not like to see our families leave St. Clare's, we understand that circumstances change and families can relocate and move away. We currently have families on waiting lists across year levels. If your child will not be returning to St. Clare's in 2024, please contact the office as soon as possible.
Seeking New Board Members
We require two Board Members to fill positions being vacated due to families reaching their final year at St. Clare’s. The Board meets once per term and the main focus for the Board is the future direction of St. Clare’s and dealing with policy and procedures. If you are interested in serving on the Board in 2024 please contact me, either by phoning the office or via email - principal.tully@cns.catholic.edu.au
HELP NEEDED!
The P&F hosts our end of year BBQ each year. For the past several years Marie
Vipiana has organised this event. The P&F are seeking a parent to work alongside Marie this year to organise the BBQ and take over the running of it in 2024. This would involve putting an item in the Newsletter to request help on the night and organise a roster for the night, ordering supplies and help setting up on the day.
If you can help, please contact either myself or Marie.
SAVE THE DATE: Sunday 12th November
On behalf of the CYM, an invitation is extended to all to come and celebrate Father Kerry Crowley’s 50th year Anniversary of Ordination, at St. Clare’s Catholic Church, Tully. Mass will be held at 9am, followed by Brunch. Everyone is asked to bring a plate to share (savoury or sweet) for brunch and BYO drinks. Tea and coffee supplied. This will also be an opportunity to hold a reunion of all past members of the CYM, and come together to celebrate and share memories of the past. If anyone has any photos please bring them with you. Please spread the word
