Queen of Apostles School

Dear Lord,

We gather once again as your community of believers.

That you renewed in us through the summer months.

And to reflect on what is important in our lives.

With the inspiration of your Spirit,

Help us to fulfill Your hope for us with honest intentions and works of faith.

We ask this in your name.

Welcome back to the new school year! We hope you had a restful and enjoyable summer break. I would like to officially welcome Mrs Sharpe, Miss Moro, Mrs Mahoney to our staff this year. I would also like to welcome the students and families new to our school. I hope your time with us is rewarding and life-giving. We look forward to a wonderful term of learning and fun!

You may have noticed that there has been some work done on the area between the hall and the basketball courts. We are installing a new walkway to ensure this area is safer and accessible for all our students and families. All going to plan it will be finished this weekend. This is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure facilities meet the needs of our community.

The Welcome Back to School P&F Sundowner for all families will be on Friday February 16. The P&F Sundowner is on the grassed area near the undercover area and will begin at 5.30pm. It promises to be a great way for our families to get together and start the new school year. So get your picnic rugs ready for what will be a great evening.

On Wednesday 7th February all classes from PP to Year 6 will be conducting their Parent Information Evening in the classroom. Each information session will run for 25/30 mins and will be repeated so as many families as possible can access the information. At the information sessions, you will find out about classroom rules and routines, teacher expectations, homework procedures and ways parents can assist in the learning process. The first session starts at 5.30pm and will be repeated at 6.00pm.

The first P&F Meeting for 2024 will be held on Monday 5th February at 6.00pm in the staffroom. Please come along and be part of what promises to be another fantastic year. Remember, as parents and carers, you are all members of the P&F. I hope to see you there on Monday evening!

Next Tuesday (6th February) at 9am in the church is our Welcome Liturgy to begin the school year. All families are welcome and encouraged to attend.

To ensure your child’s well-being, the school requires that parents provide up-to-date medical information in regard to any allergies or medical conditions. If your child is allergic to bee stings, nuts, shellfish, eggs etc and may suffer an allergic reaction, it is paramount that the school is informed. Your doctor will need to provide an anaphylaxis plan with instructions that the school will follow. If your child suffers from asthma, a plan is also required for staff to follow in the event of an asthma attack. Anaphylaxis plans and asthma plans are to be presented to the office with medication to ensure that in an event of a medical incident, your child can be treated effectively. Any other medical information that may be relevant must also be presented in written form to the office. This information will remain confidential within the staff-teaching environment.

Best Wishes

Mark Ryan
