Mother’s Day

We had an incredibly successful Mother’s Day stall on Thursday followed by a fantastic breakfast on the Friday. A huge thank you to Zoe Holland and her team who organised the Mother's Day stall. I’m sure there were lots of little goodies that made their way to the breakfast tray on Sunday!

A very special thank you to Paul Holland and the St Paul’s Dad’s group who organised the breakfast. The school hall was filled to the brim with mums and their kids enjoying egg and bacon rolls, pastries, fruit and lots of other delicious things. The coffee cart was a big hit! These events make our school the wonderful community that it is where everyone chips in and has a great time in the process. And as always, thank you to Danny Maher who goes above and beyond to make these links between school and parent events such a success.

Cross Country

At the Year 3-6 BDS Cross Country event last week, we had some wonderful Year 5 boys from St Paul’s who helped an injured student from another school. Owen, Jack and Lucas saw an injured runner on the side of the track. They stopped their own race to stay with him until help arrived, making sure the boy was ok. It’s wonderful to see such kindness coming from students in our school community. We’re so proud of these boys!

Cold and flu Season

As winter is fast approaching, we are noticing that there are a number of students who are coming to school quite unwell, with cold and flu symptoms. These symptoms may include a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, sore throat, watery eyes and/or a fever. In order to protect our community, it is vitally important that we monitor these symptoms and keep students home if they are unwell. 

Drop off and Pick up

The drop off zone on Riddle Street is quite a busy area in the mornings. In the interests of keeping everyone safe, especially the students, and to keep traffic flowing, parents are asked to NOT make U-turns here. Whilst there are a great deal of road works and blockages in and around the school at the moment, we do ask that you please continue driving along Riddle Street, rather than trying to turn around. We thank you for your understanding with this, as we try to create a safe drop off and pick up zone for the students.  

Student Achievement - Lincoln Hall

At St Paul’s we like to acknowledge some of the outstanding achievements of our students. Last term, Lincoln progressed through to the State Swimming Championships after winning many lead up events. Lincoln finished 4th in the 50m Freestyle with a personal best time. He also competed at the Regional finals and came second in the 50m Butterfly event. Lincoln should be extremely proud of his achievement as he’s the first St Paul’s student to make the State Swimming finals for many years. Well done, Lincoln!
