A Memorable Week!

This week commenced with the much anticipated arrival of our fourth grandson Oliver Jack Fern in Brisbane. It was hard waiting for the weekend to travel up north to visit him.

 

Amazing Teachers!

 

A panel of four spent three full days interviewing more than 20 amazing teachers wanting to teach at St Aloysius in 2015. After much deliberation we made our recommendations and are looking forward to introducing our new staff to the school community after all the processes and clearances are complete.

 

Kindergarten 2015!

 

We finished the week with a wonderful gathering of over 150 people for Afternoon Tea in Whitewater Park Chisholm. Most of our Kindergarten students for 2015 and their families were able to attend. The children even lined up for their first school photo which we will publish when we have Photo Permission forms signed by all families. This was a wonderful opportunity for parents and children alike to make some new friends as members of our school community.

 

Next week.

 

Tuesday September 16 - our Year 1 students for 2015 will be spending the day together at Our Lady of Lourdes Tarro. Thank you to the current St Aloysius Kinder teachers at OLOL and St Joseph's - Gabrielle Lawler and Jane Pearce for their wonderful work with many of these students in 2014 and for their organisation for next week's 'Getting to Know You' day.

 

Thursday September 18 - our Year 2 - 6 students for 2015 will be gathering at St John the Baptist School Maitland to get to know more about their new school and new classmates. We hope some of our 2015 teachers will be able to take part in running some of the activities on this day.

 

Thursday September 18 - our first family BBQ will be held in the grounds of St Mary's Campus, All Saints College. We are looking forward to the opportunity for our families to meet and make some new friends and connections. We also hope to be able to present our new school uniform to the school community on this evening. Families are reminded to please RSVP for this event if they haven't already done so.
