Year 6 Camp

Hi Parents,

I wasn't intending on sending out a camp blog for another couple of weeks, however, I have had multiple parents kindly offering their time to attend the Year 6 Camp this year. After having discussions with Mr Lee, it has been decided that parent help will not be required this year. Please refer to the message below from Mr Lee.
School Camps 

We are fortunate that our staff are prepared to give up their own personal family time to provide the opportunity for our students to participate in school camps. Our year 5 camp allows parents to attend while the year 6 camp is supervised by just the staff. Having no parents on the year 6 camp helps to build resilience, independence and confidence leading into secondary school. Mrs. Meyer, Mr. Jones and Mr. Lee will be the staff attending the year 6 camp. The Ern Halliday camp allows our students to build a great sense of team work, learn the importance of encouraging others, will build on our faith development for the sacrament of Confirmation, resilience and being able to bounce back when things don’t go your way. 


A blog post giving details of the Camp and the Confirmation Retreat will be posted in Week 5.

Enjoy your weekend!

Kind regards,

Mr Jones

Hi Parents and students, What a great weekend to be down south! So special to be able to witness such a unique swell direction and see the whole coastline light up. Can’t wait for the next cyclone swell in 9 years! Affirmation of the Week: Camp: I am still on the hunt for some dad volunteers for the Year 6 camp. Let me know if you are interested. Chrism Mass: Please make sure your child has brought their permission slip into me tomorrow morning. Some children have suggested that they have misplaced their note. I have said to them to have Mum or Dad write a note that they give them permission to travel by bus, to and from St Patrick’s Cathedral in Bunbury. Please refer to the ‘Chrism Mass Blog’ for any other info. Holy Week: The Year 5’s and 6’s will be presenting their part of Holy Week celebrations on Wednesday morning at 9:00am in the hall.

All students must wear a rashie! We will arrive at the beach at 11.45am. We will have lunch when we arrive and then we will hit the activities. You are welcome to join us for any part of the day...your child permitting!! We will be departing at approximately 2.30pm to come back to school.  Reports will be handed to the students back at school at the end of the day.

Good afternoon, Welcome to Week 6...I can't believe how quickly the term is getting away from us! Notes - Graduation Dinner, iMovie Night & Adventure World Thank you to those who have returned notes. If you have any to return, can you please send them in by the due date. I have placed copies of all notes sent home last week on the blog.

Mackillop Orientation Day - 25th November - I will put on the blog a copy of the letter (in a separate post) that was sent home by Mr Ben Horrocks a few weeks ago for your reference.
