Welcome   Community   Hospitality

How lovely it has been to hear the sound of happy children back at school! Although we have had to make some changes to the start of our school year, the children have all taken it in their stride. 

This Thursday, February 17, there will be an Opening School Liturgy for our Year 5 and 6 students where we will present the Year 6 class with their leadership badges. It is hoped that once the current restrictions are lifted, we will be able to celebrate this as a whole school mass where families are able to attend. 

Lent is fast approaching and St Clare’s will once again be recognising Shrove Tuesday with a pancake breakfast. On Tuesday, March 1, students are able to enjoy a pancake breakfast before school. Pancakes will be served from 8.00am - 8.30am in the eating area and will be 50c each, with a limit of 4 per student. All money raised will go towards our Project Compassion collection that will run over the Lenten period. 

Finally, the Catholic Education (Diocese of Cairns) is offering parents and carers of children attending Catholic schools in our diocese, Zoom information sessions on Relationship Education in 2022. These sessions will give parents information on what will be covered in Relationship and Sexuality Education in our schools. More information is attached in the flyer in this newsletter for those who are interested.
