Dear Parents/Carers,

Term III has been a very busy term. Class Masses and Prayer Services, school camps, excursions, incursions, whole

school sports day, Father’s Day activities and preparations for ‘Alice in Wonderland’ – the list goes on. I would like to

thank the whole school community for all your efforts. Students, families and staff are to be congratulated for the support

they have given our school community.

It was great to have our Preps returning to school last Tuesday in their pyjamas with torches and their special toys. Thanks

to Miss Zahra, Ms Tania, Mrs Gallus, Miss Micallef, Mrs Azarnikow, Mr Patrick, Ms Mareta, Ms Libby and Ms Cathy for

giving of their time to supervise the children.

At the end of the newsletter, there is a note to be returned to school advising us if your children will not be returning to

St. Paul’s in 2019. Please return it to school promptly if your children are not returning next year as we are beginning to

plan for 2019.

Please remember that Term III ends on Friday 21st September at 1.00pm. After school care will operate from 1.00pm until

6.00pm. Term IV commences on Monday 8th October at 8.40am.

I will be at a Principal conference for the remainder of the week. Please see Ms Cathy Doran if you have any concerns.

Have a wonderful holiday – we look forward to seeing you all at the commencement of Term IV. We are very excited

about our production ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

Yours sincerely,
