School Breakfast Program Volunteer Award
Congratulations to Mrs Ty who received the School Breakfast Program Volunteer Award for St Jude's School. This award recognises the outstanding contribution that volunteers make to our School Breakfast Club. Mrs Ty received a certificate of recognition and a small gift. Thank you Mrs Ty for everything you do for our students and community.
Disco
We are looking forward to our School Disco sessions this afternoon. May thanks to our volunteers, and our FOSJ committee for preparing the hall and the exciting disco activities to ensure that the boys and girls have an AMAZING time. Parents are welcome, as always, to stay and join in the dancing with their child (ren). We look forward to seeing you there!
Last Week of Term 2 and Reports
Next week is our last week of school before the holidays. Children have been working very hard all term, and it will be lovely for them to have a break to refresh before we begin again. School finishes at 3pm on Friday 28 June. Students will return to school on Tuesday 16 July.
Today at our Making Jesus Real Assembly, we talked about the importance of being extra kind next week, and for looking out for our friends who might be sad or lonely. We can say hello, welcome them into our eating group or our game. Some of us are tired at the end of a long school term. Let's find ways to show little acts of kindness to everyone we meet.
Semester 1 Reports will go live at the end of next week. We will advise parents via sms once this happens. It is important that we have your current email addresses so that you can access them from the SEQTA Engage website.
Refer A Friend Discount
Did you know that we offer a $100 discount on the eldest child's fees for any family who refers a friend resulting in an enrolment at St Jude's School? The form is available at the school office, and conditions do apply. You can receive this discount more than once (one for each new family you refer). The family you are referring must bring this form to the enrolment interview, unfortunately, we cannot pay this retrospectively.
This week's focus is:
Trust and Privilege
At St Jude's we:
- We protect every child from harm.
- We respect boundaries between adults and students and support each other to do the same.
- Don't approach other people's children - speak to teachers if there are issues.
- We provide all information necessary to support our children during their schooling.
- Keep information about others confidential - including staff, parents and students (no gossip!)
School reports will go live at the end of the term and now is a good time to check that you are ready for this:
- Have you downloaded the SEQTA Engage App?
- Do you remember your username and password
- If you are new to SEQTA Engage or in Pre Primary, have you setup the app?
If you answered 'no' to any of the above, please make an appointment through the front office to see Mr Maher who will be more than happy to guide you through the setup process or reset passwords.
4 Year Old Kindy
Please see Mrs Dique in the Office for an enrolment pack if your child will turn 4 years old on or before 30 June 2025. If you are aware of any families who would like a place in our fabulous Kindy, with Mrs Bollen and her amazing education assistants, please let them know to contact the school office on 6350 2500 for an enrolment pack or for more information.
Kindergarten days will operate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8.40am to 3.00pm in 2025.
Fleecy Lined Winter Jackets
Winter and wet weather is upon us! Our jackets are fully lined and can be worn over the school jumper. They can be very useful to keep the children dry and warm during the rainy season.
Unfortunately due to an increase in pricing from our supplier, the cost for the jacket has had to increase slightly to $41.00.
If you are interested in purchasing a jacket for your child please submit your order at the school office or the Uniform Shop.
We have limited stock in some sizes if you wish to
