Dear Families,

I hope everyone had a restful break from the routine of school and are braced for an exciting Term 4.  I personally love the excitement that builds across this final term and I look froward to sharing it particularly with our departing students and families, as well as our incoming recruits.  Please take note of the details in this newsletter as well as updates through PAM.

But how about our finish to last term?

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone for joining us at our recent Performing Arts Concert. Your support made the evening a resounding success!

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible teachers, especially Brooke and Cameron. Your dedication and passion for nurturing our young talents truly shone through in every performance. We are so grateful for the time and energy you invest in our children’s artistic journeys.

We also want to acknowledge our generous sponsors. Your support is invaluable and allows us to provide these enriching opportunities for our students. Thank you for believing in the power of the arts!

Providing children with opportunities to perform not only boosts their confidence but also fosters creativity, teamwork, and a sense of belonging. We are proud to create an environment where they can express themselves and share their talents with the community.

Thank you once again for your support and for celebrating the arts with us. We look forward to many more magical performances in the future!

Wishing all our families a successful Term 4.

Dave

St.Vincent's encourages good practices around exposure to UV.

Our key strategies involve wearing hats, encouraging the application of sunscreen and providing shaded play areas. We encourage families to apply and supply their chosen sunscreen to their children, as the school does not supply sunscreen.

School hats must be worn during Term 1 and Term 4, although we actively encourage students to wear them in times of increasing UV ratings.  Having your hat at school from Father's Day to Mother's Day is a great guide.

We look forward to engaging with our 2025 Foundation students and their families across the year as they make the exciting transition to Primary School.  If you have a child joining us next year or know of a family member or friend attending St. Vincent's, please reach out.

Our transition programs run across Terms 3 and 4.  Our transition program is a wonderful opportunity and offers our incoming students an extensive introduction to school.  We encourage all families to take advantage of these opportunities while also inviting new families to feel welcome to come along to see all we have to offer.
