Dear St. Clare’s Community,

Welcome to Term Three.  It is lovely to be back and to see some sun shining here and there. Just a reminder about uniform and haircut expectations. Students are not permitted to wear jewellery other than a single pair of studs or sleepers. I have noticed some dangles recently. These have the potential to become snagged, please do not allow your child to wear them to school. Watches are allowed to be worn. A necklace with a Religious medallion, cross or that is culturally significant can be worn. Necklaces should be kept tucked underneath shirts, again to prevent them from being snagged. Hair ties and accessories need to be school colours only and are to be minimal. Bracelets, anklets, and wristbands are not permitted to be worn. Hair past shoulder length must be tied back, not be coloured or have tracks or patterns shaved into it.

Academic Uniforms are worn Monday, Wednesday & Friday - white ankle socks and black shoes are to be worn. Sports Uniforms are worn Tuesday & Thursday - white ankle socks and joggers of choice are worn.

We appreciate your support to keep these standards high at St. Clare’s.

We wish all students competing in the District Athletics this week all the best. We have a long weekend coming up next week, with the Tully Show Holiday on 26th July. Hopefully we will be blessed with fine weather for both.

Catholic Education Week

Next week is Catholic Education Week (Wk 3). This week is an opportunity for all Catholic schools in Queensland to celebrate and promote their distinctive mission and ethos. Our Yr 5 & 6 students will travel to Innisfail to celebrate Mass with other schools in the Southern Deanery and stay for some activities and a tour of Good Counsel College afterwards. The Docemus Awards are also held during Catholic Education Week; we acknowledge Mrs Amanda Baston and Mrs Melissa Leonardi, who have been nominated this year.

Stanley & Tom were my first visitors in Term 3. These students showed me and explained the ‘Fraction Friends’ they had constructed in Year 3. Excellent work!

Blessings for the week ahead.
