Queen of Apostles School

Dear Lord,

Please help those who are less fortunate than us,

help them to find comfort and love.

Also help us to remember how truly lucky we are,

help us not to take this for granted.

Amen

Tomorrow the Year 6 class will present their assembly item at 8.50am in the hall. I know they have been working hard on their script and it promises to a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing them in action!

Next Thursday at 9am the Year 1 class will hold their St Mary of the Cross themed liturgy in the classroom. All Year 1 parents and grandparents are invited to join for this special Feast Day Liturgy.

I would like to wish our Year 6 and some lucky Year 5 students all best as they compete in soccer, netball and AFL against other schools in our region next Friday (August 9).

The carnival will be held at Morris Buzacott Reserve in Kardinya and parents/family members are most welcome to attend.

I would like to thank Mr Bridgeman for his organisation in preparation for this day. I would also like to thank Miss Jensen and Ms Maloney for their expert coaching.

It should be a fun day.

Good luck!

Monday 12th August at 6.30pm is the first P&F Meeting for Term 3. The meeting will be held in the staffroom. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.

On Wednesday 14th August the Social Justice Committee have organised a Pyjama Day to raise money for the Flame of Love Orphanage in the Congo. For a gold coin donation, the students can come dressed in their warmest winter PJ’s as a way of helping out those in need. The staff will also join in what promises to be a fun day.

Keeping Safe Online Talk - Paul Litherland - Save the Date

On Tuesday 13th August at 6.00pm in the library we have been lucky enough to secure the services of Paul Litherland to do a Keeping Safe Online presentation for all parents and guardians in our community.

Paul is an ex police officer and will give you tips and insights into how to keep your family safe when accessing the internet and using social networking sites. He is highly regarded and presents to around 280 schools each year.

The Catholic Education Code of Conduct establishes minimum standards of conduct in all behaviour and decision-making to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all members within the CEWA community. The Code of Conduct also shows us how, as a community our behaviours are a collective work that each day builds social justice into the life of our schools. Pope Francis insists that “true social justice is impossible if the human person is not the centre of concern”.

​

The following 12 statements outline the expectations of all staff, parents and community members:

1. You act safely and competently.

2. You give priority to students’ safety and well-being in all your behaviour and decision making.

3. You act in accordance with the values of the Gospel as defined in the Code of Ethical Conduct.

4. You conduct yourself in accordance with laws, agreements, policies and standards relevant to your relationship with the school community.

5. You respect the dignity, culture, values and beliefs of each member of the school community.

6. You treat personal information about members of the school community as private and confidential.

7. You give impartial, honest and accurate information about the education, safety and well-being of students.

8. You support all members of the school community in making informed decisions about students.

9. You promote and preserve the trust and privilege inherent in your relationship with all members of the school community.

10. You maintain and build on the community’s trust and confidence in Catholic schools and the Church.

11. You act reflectively and ethically.

12. You allow students to have a voice in their education, safety and well-being.

Best Wishes
