Dear Parents, 

Firstly I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your ongoing support during this time. Your partnership, patience, and commitment to our school community are truly appreciated. It is through this collective effort that we continue to provide the best possible learning environment for our students.

Your encouragement and involvement make a real difference, and we are grateful for the trust you place in us. We look forward to continuing this journey together and working in partnership to support the growth and success of every child.

Thank you once again for your support.

I was wanting to share a few updates with you: 

• Freda’s leave will be continuing and Margy D’Rozario and Marg Mitchell will continue in the Acting Principal and Deputy roles in the interim.
• There has been a team from MACS OH&S out to assess the site with regards to the issue of cars parking on the front playground when there is a large funeral in the Church. We are now awaiting a meeting with MACS personnel and the parish. I will update you further when more information comes to light. 
• After emailing MACSEYE about the standard of care being offered, I then recently met with the area manager and shared with her the valid concerns of the families here at St Paul’s with regards to the before and afterschool care program. Claire took onboard what I was relaying to her. She is very keen to make improvements to strengthen this program and the relationship with the families, in particular the communication between the MACSEYE team here at St Paul's and the parents.
