Dear St Anne's Community,

The half way mark of the term is upon us and it has been nice to have some sunny and dry days this week. 

Garden Viewing

A huge thank you to the Garden Viewing committee for their amazing efforts in making the day such a success. I also appreciate the support of the volunteers that helped out on the day. Events like these do not happen without the combined effort of many. The amount of money raised is incredible with the current tally at $10,000. There is still a cheque to be processed, which will add to this amount. Thank you to the home owners for placing their gardens in this years event. It is greatly appreciated. 

Year 10

All the best to our Year 10 students as they conduct exams next week and their work experience placements after that. 

Important Dates

Friday 16th December- Last day of Term 4, 2022

Wednesday 1st February- First day of the 2023 school year

Siloam

Wednesday and Thursday this week, I attended a Principal's Siloam Retreat at Galong. Principal's from across the Archdiocese are offered an opportunity to come together to reflect on their personal growth and faith formation in the context of their call to mission and ministry as leaders in Catholic Education. 

Year 7 Orientation Monday 7/11

Thank you to our Secondary staff for the delivery of an engaging orientation day for our 2023 Year 7 class. We have 9 new students joining us from a range of different schools across the region. We look forward to seeing them again in Week 8.

Kindergarten Orientation Friday 18/11

We will be welcoming our 2023 Kindergarten students to the next stage of our orientation program. 25 students will join St Anne's in this class next year.  

Coffee Machine

We recently received money from Catholic Education to purchase a coffee machine for our 2023 Secondary Hospitality students. We are very excited to have placed that order this week and we can't wait for the opportunities that this will bring for our students (and staff). 

Take care,

Grant Haigh

Principal
