Dear St Anne's Community,

I hope that your child has settled back into routine well and that they are enjoying their new year of schooling.

Toilet blocks

The new toilet blocks are operational. Years 7-12 girls have their own block of 6 toilet cubicles and Year 7-12 boys have their own equivalent cubicles. The doors within the toilet blocks were replaced to provide better privacy for the occupants.

Mass

We thank parishioners and families for joining us for the Ash Wednesday Mass yesterday. We would also like to let you know that things are tighter in the church with our increase in student numbers and it can take some time for us to file in. At times, we may need to bring in extra chairs or move some of our students into Joey's hall.

Community Council

Last Tuesday, we met for our first meeting of the year. The community council and I worked through a process of designing the new community council charter based off guidelines from the new governance and compliance document. This will be in place at the next meeting where we will also hold our AGM. We welcome new and exisiting members to come along to this meeting. Tuesday Week 7 at 7pm. The biggest change to come out of the new charter is the requirement for the Community Council funds to be tranferred into a school ledger account. The money remains seperate from school funds and cannot be absorbed or used by the system.

Long Lunch

Our annual Long Lunch event is on Saturday 23rd March from 12-6pm. If you are yet to experience this event, it comes highly recommended by everyone, including myself. Tickets can be purchased through trybooking. Funds raised will go to new student seating options in the playground. 

A friendly reminder that students are not permitted on school grounds until 8:30am each morning. Please see important articles about The Resilience Project and sample tracksuit pants further on in this newsletter.

Take care,

Grant Haigh
