Hi Everyone,

Book Week - something for everyone! Huge thanks to Holly and Anna for leading the charge this week - it has been just amazing. And many thanks to you for having your children join in the spirit of the week, and dress to impress for the parade today.

Our Choir performed at the Vasto Club on Monday as part of the Catholic Schools Performing Arts Festival, and were just great! Big thankyou to Michelle for having the choir so keen to perform, and also to Olivia M from Year Six for accompanying them on the piano - you too were amazing!

First Communion 6pm Saturday in our Church, Our Lady of the Rosary. This will be a lovely celebration. Please keep the children in your prayers.

Father’s Day breakfast and Pre-Primary assembly on Friday - see you there!

Have a great weekend - read a good book!

Best wishes

Mark

You may have heard on the news that Perth is experiencing an increase in the number of people suffering from Influenza A and B as well as COVID. If your child is feeling unwell, please keep them home until they are feeling better and thank you to everyone who is already doing this.

We have also had a couple of confirmed cases of Conjunctivitis and Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease within the school. Please read the below attachments for more information.

A reminder that it is a school requirement for your annual fees to be fully paid by the 30th November 2024. Please contact the office of you have any queries.

🌿🔬 Last week was an incredible celebration of Science Week! The theme, "Species Survival - More Than Just Sustainability," had us exploring the wonders of our world. A huge shoutout to Mrs. Walsh for organising so many exciting science activities and incursions! 🧪✨

From interactive lessons with buddies to unforgettable up-close encounters with animals, our students were fully immersed in learning about the importance of species survival. 🌍🦎

Over the last few weeks, our students in the Year 4 – 6 Enrichment Program have been having fun learning about drones. From drone safety to the ways that drones can be used to help us in everyday life – they are fast becoming flying experts!

🎉 Last week, the Year 2 Chairs had enough and went on STRIKE! 😱 But don’t worry, our persuasive students stepped up to the challenge, writing heartfelt letters filled with convincing reasons to bring them back. ✍️💼 We're happy to report that the chairs have returned, all thanks to our incredible Year 2s! 👏

Please click on the link below and complete the declaration form - it will take you 10 seconds. Every parent volunteering in a school in any capacity is required to complete this. Thank you.

This year, select Holy Rosary students are taking part in the national Write a Book in a Day Competition. This is a fundraising event, where our students will spend 8 hours at school working together to produce a book, that will be shared with children around Australia who are living with cancer. All funds raised during this competition go to the Kids Cancer Project - https://writeabookinaday.com/

If you would like to sponsor our students, please do so via these links:
