Mosquitoes

There has been a spike in the number of mosquitoes around our school at the moment after all the rain. We highly recommend that students apply repellent before coming to school each day. If your child does bring repellent to school, please ensure it is not in aerosol form.

ANZAC Day

St Clare’s will be marching together for ANZAC Day on Friday April 25. We will gather at the front of Mitre 10 at 9.30am. Students are kindly asked to wear their formal uniform, school hat, normal school shoes, and bring a water bottle. If it is raining, please send a raincoat in with your child. No umbrellas please.

Project Compassion

We have had an extremely successful 4 weeks of fundraising for Project Compassion. Between Shrove Tuesday pancakes, St Patrick’s Day, hot chips, icy cups and donations to classroom money boxes, our school has raised over $1 600. This is a great achievement for a school of our size so thank you to all who have supported this charity in any way.

Stations of the Cross

As we move towards Easter, our school will once again gather to acknowledge the Stations of the Cross. This year, we will be led by our Year 1 class, who will remind us of each step that Jesus took towards his death, and then resurrection. This will take place this Friday morning at 8.40 in the hall. All are welcome to join us for assembly afterwards.


With Blessings,

Hello Parents, Students and Colleagues  

Happiness

Here is a little quote to think about each day and inspire your children with.

Too often we regret the past, which we cannot change. We spend tireless hours worrying about the future that has not happened. It is time to live in the moment by celebrating, enjoying and appreciating everything we do have in the here and now. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday break with your family and friends. 

Yours in Counselling,

Sharon Scouller

Touch Gala Day

St Clare’s will be convening the annual District Touch Gala Day this Thursday. Interested students from Years 4 to 6 will be heading to the Tully State High School grounds to compete against other local schools. This day will also serve as a selection for the 10-12 year olds Southern Zone Touch Football team. Thank you to Mrs Jenkins for the organisation of this day and to those who are assisting with line marking, field and venue set up, transportation, managing teams, donating baked goods and helping Mrs Vipiana out in the canteen.
