NEWSLETTER | TERM 3 | WEEK 7 | 2 September 2022
Message from Geordie
Afternoon everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying your Friday. I would like to start by congratulating our Pre-Primary Super Stars for their highly entertaining assembly this morning. It was heaps of fun and full of energy! Well done to all our students and staff!
I would also like to thank our fathers and significant male figures for coming to school for a burger and kick of the footy this morning. With a turnout of over 400 people, the atmosphere was amazing! I would really to thank our staff for pitching in and helping to make the day so much fun! We had a number of staff helping to pre-cook bacon until late yesterday arvo and then come in again from 6.30am to help get ready. It was a real team effort and I hope everyone had a good time. I have heard from several sources that 50% of the WA’s 4WD and utes were in our carpark!
Next week our staff will be conducting parent / teacher interviews on Tuesday. We are looking forward to sharing and discussing some information about your child’s learning here at St Bernie’s. School finishes at 12pm on Tuesday to accommodate the interviews and our drive-through will operate as per normal. Please be on time for your interviews and as we have said, if you believe you need extra time, please make an alternative arrangement. It is extremely important that our teachers stick to the 10 minutes allocated as we want to avoid delays for our parents.
Next Friday is our Year 6 Assembly which I know will be a lot of fun! As it is their last assembly and this item is usually a longer affair, we have decided to have a separate awards assembly next term instead of adding awards in next week. More info on this below!
Hope you have a great weekend and spoil your Father’s rotten!
