A Spellbinding Christmas Performance
Wow! I’m sure that everyone who joined us for our Christmas performance, Straw and Disorder, was as spellbound by our students' incredible performance as I was. It was truly a showcase of the talent, creativity, and hard work of our students, and a perfect reflection of the excellence in teaching provided to your children every day at St. Jude’s.
A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Murray and all the supporting staff for coordinating this spectacular event, making it one to remember!
Exciting Referral Opportunity
As we celebrate these memorable moments, we also want to encourage you to spread the word about our wonderful school to your family and friends. Don’t forget, we offer a $100 Refer-a-Friend Discount for families who refer a new student to St. Jude’s. If your referral takes a place at the school, the discount is applied to your eldest child's fees (conditions apply). And the great news is, this discount can be applied multiple times for multiple referrals!
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to more shared successes in the future!
End of Year Celebrations & Important Dates
Next week, we will wrap up the 2024 school year with some special events and important milestones:
- Thursday: Graduation Presentation and Dinner for our Year 6 students.
- Friday at 9am: Our whole school Thanksgiving Mass in the church.
Additionally, Semester 2 reports will be available on SEQTA Friday afternoon. We hope that you are as proud of your children as we are! We encourage you to review the reports with your child, take some time to celebrate their achievements, and then discuss possible new goals for 2025.
Teachers will be available Monday - Wednesday during the week beginning 9th December for any parents who wish to discuss reports. If you would like to arrange a meeting, please contact your child’s teacher directly.
Special Call-Out for Christmas Nativity Play Volunteers
On behalf of St Jude's Parish, we are reaching out for your help! Each year, the children of St Jude's School and Parish come together to perform a small Nativity play at the New Year's Eve Mass. However, this year, we are in need of more volunteers to make it a success.
We are especially looking for shepherds and angels to take part in the play. If your child would like to participate and be part of this beautiful tradition, please let us know by contacting the office.
Your support would mean so much in helping us bring this special moment to life for the parish community. We look forward to hearing from you!
A Sneak Peek into 2025: Classroom Visits!
Today, our students had the exciting opportunity to spend some time in their 2025 classroom, getting to know their new teacher and familiarizing themselves with the space. It’s always a fun and anticipatory time as we wrap up the year, and we’re thrilled to see how eager and excited our students are for what’s to come!
We hope that all of our students are looking forward to the new adventures and learning opportunities that await them in the year ahead.
Last Canteen Day for 2024 & Important Canteen Updates for 2025
A reminder to all families that Monday will be our last canteen day for 2024. It is also the final day for students to redeem their birthday vouchers, so be sure to take advantage of this before the year wraps up.
Thank you for your continued support throughout 2024! We’re excited to announce that canteen days will be changing to Thursdays and Fridays for Term 1 next year, so please make a note of that for 2025.
Parking in the Parish Car Park
Please remember that parking in the parish car park is a privilege, not a right. We ask that everyone respects the parking rules to ensure that this valuable space remains available for both school and parish activities.
Let’s work together to keep things running smoothly. Please do not be the one to jeopardize our ability to continue using this resource.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
