2024 Newsletter Term 2 Week 7

Letter form the Principal - Brad Toole

We hope all our Father’s and important men in your life had an enjoyable day on Sunday for ‘Father’s Day’. Friday morning was a great celebration. I would like to thank Mrs Marsh, Year 1 and the parent helpers of Year 1 for their help on Friday morning. 

This week is Australian Teacher Aide/Support Staff Appreciation Week. It is a great opportunity to recognise the staff that are the ‘backbone’ of our school. We are truly blessed to have Mrs Holland, Mrs O’Connell, Miss Mulligan, Mrs Leotta, Mrs Hensley, Mrs Watts, Mrs Adams, Miss Norris, Mr Holland and our casual staff in Mrs Young to support the teaching staff and students at All Hallows. If you see any of the staff around school this week be sure to wish them a fantastic week!

Garden Club News

This week at garden club we celebrated Saint Fiacre’s feast day which fell on Father’s Day this year. 

Saint Fiacre is the patron saint of growers of vegetables and medicinal plants and gardeners in general and a perfect saint to name one of our beds after!

The days in the garden are warm and there are so many flowers coming to bloom like “Love in a mist”, “Calendula”, and “Californian Poppy”! Happy Father’s Day to all the dads for the weekend just gone and welcome spring!

We are bringing home some broccoli to share with our families!
