NEWSLETTER | TERM 1| WEEK 3| 21 FEB 2025
Lord, I turn to You as the source of all Truth. Teach me Your ways and fill me with Your wisdom. Help me to understand life as You see it and, in that understanding,
help me to embrace Your holy will.
Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen
Dear Parents, Friends, Guardians, Staff, and Students,
It was heartwarming to hear about what brings students and families joy this week.
Today, we will send out a link to our parent body survey to seek your honest feedback about Holy Rosary - what you love, our strengths, and opportunities for growth. The survey will be open for just three days, and by participating, you'll have the chance to enter a prize draw.
Additionally, we have surveyed our students from Year 2 to Year 6 this week to gather their thoughts on our school and discover what they truly love. We value the voices of both our students and parents and believe that seeking the truth through your insights will help us make Holy Rosary an even better place for everyone.
Thank you for your continued support and participation.
Kind Regards
Michael O'Dwyer
Principal

“Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.” Mother Teresa
On Tuesday, 18th February, I really enjoyed a new show on the ABC starring Maggie Dent – “The Role of a Lifetime.”
The series uses a sitcom family to play out parenting challenges which are then explored in the real world with lots of experts and it covers SO many of the issues that parents of tweens and teens regularly face. I have most of Maggie Dent’s books in the Parent Resource Library and you can also access her informative webinars from clicking on the link below. These webinars are around the $35 mark.
A reminder that all Year 4 students Seasons For Growth consent forms must be returned by this Wednesday 26th February. Please ask myself, Mr D’Aloia or Miss Matrenza for a form if you need one.
