Quiz Night
I am really looking forward to the Quiz Night tomorrow evening. There are some great prizes and auction items available, and it promises to be a fantastic night for our school community. Our P&F have worked extremely hard to make sure it’s a fantastic night for those in attendance and I can’t thank them enough.

Remember all money raised goes towards supporting our students and helping them achieve their best. In the 3 years I have been at QOA the P&F have funded some big-ticket items in the school including the redevelopment of the basketball courts, wish list items in each class to assist with teaching and learning and the soon to be completed Ninja Playground. Without their support these initiatives would not have taken place. I encourage you to support our P&F in their goal of supporting everyone in our community.
Interschool Athletics
Our interschool athletics team will compete tomorrow at Len Shearer Reserve in the regional carnival. I wish them the best of luck and hope they have a fantastic day.
I would like to thank Mr Bridgeman for giving up his time to train and prepare these students. Parents and friends are most welcome to come and support our team.
Ninja Playground
Next Monday, construction of the new Ninja Playground on the Annexe Oval will begin. There has been a great deal of hard work from our P&F and School Advisory Council to ensure this project takes place.
The fundraising efforts of the P&F have been outstanding and the contribution of close to $75,000 to build the playground is amazing. I thank them very much for their efforts.
I can’t wait for this exciting project to be finished and see it in use by our students. The Annexe Oval will be out of action while the playground is being built. Exciting times!
30 Years in Catholic Education WA
I would like to congratulate Mrs Anderson who on Monday received a special award for completing 30 Years in Catholic Education WA.
This is a fantastic achievement and I thank Mrs Anderson for her commitment to not only our school but Catholic Education in general. I look forward to many more years and attending the ceremony for completing 40 years.
