Our Lady of Mercy
NEWSLETTER | TERM 3 | WEEK 6 | 21 August 2024
Dear Parents and Carers
A huge thank you to our amazing P&F and parent volunteers for running such a successful disco last Friday evening. A big thank you to all families who supported this event. It was such a joy to see our children having so much fun on the dance floor.
Yesterday, we had a wonderful Book Week assembly. An annual tradition is that our staff dress up and present an assembly item, which from the children’s smiles absolutely delighted them. We even had a special appearance from a few dinosaurs!
We sent out an events communication to parents over the weekend, which listed all upcoming events for the remainder of the term. We hope this helps you keep track of what is coming up at school.
We have noticed a big improvement in the reduction in children being dropped off at school too early or being picked up long after the end of day bell has gone. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
Selected Choir students will be performing at ‘One Big Voice’ on Thursday. We know they will enjoy the experience of singing in front of a large audience at the Perth Arena and that they will represent our school well.
God bless you all.
Ondine Komnick
Principal
