What a fantastic community!

Thank you to our St Aloysius families who made all our Get to Know You activities so successful over the past week. Our Kindergarten children and their families set a wonderful example by turning up to Whitewater Park in Chisholm in great numbers last week. I hope you saw the photos in The Maitland Mercury last Tuesday.

Thank you very much to our St Aloysius Kinder teachers for 2014 Gabi Lawler and Jane Pearce for the exciting day they planned for our 2015 Year 1 students at Our Lady of Lourdes Tarro on Tuesday. Thank you also to Anthony Weir, the Principal of St Joseph's who drove the bus for the students from his school.

Most of our Year 2015 2 - 6  students attended the Get to Know You Day at St John's Maitland on Tuesday and spent the day with the newly appointed 2015 St Aloysius teachers. Everyone had a wonderful day making new friends and talking about our new school.

We capped off a wonderful week by sharing a BBQ together at St Mary's Maitland on Thursday evening. Thank you very much to one of our Dad's Andrew Cornwall who organised most of the night as well as the Food Tech Assistant Tania Cullity who had our food cooked and prepared beautifully.

This week our Bishop approved our school motto and uniform. We have a sample of the girl's summer uniform and the boy's shirt will be complete when it has the crest embroidery. Unfortunately, I am unable to upload the coloured version of the crest but will do as soon as possible.

St Aloysius are very excited to have been appointed to our school and I will introduce them in my next blog.

Wishing all families a safe and enjoyable holiday.
