Newsletter Term 2 Week 9 (24.6.22)

Dear Parents

On Wednesday night our Orators evening was held in the St Anthony’s Hall. First of all thank you to Flying Start who went out of their way to evacuate the hall for us to hold our speech night. It was an excellent night that showcased the talents of 42 of our amazing students from Kindergarten through to Year 6. The judges Mrs Alison Lewis and Mrs Jan Jeske were overwhelmed by the high standard that performed that evening. From Early Stage 1 through to Stage 3 the large crowd was entertained by a variety of speeches that were informative, humorous and amazing. 

Those who were nominated proceed to the next level which will be held in Term 3. Congratulations to all those who performed that night. It would have been a nightmare for the judges to select as the performances were so close and the standards so high.

The students to proceed to the next level are:

EARLY STAGE 1

• Mahli Neilson
• Phoebe Hartman-Nudds

STAGE 1

• Bede Gibson
• Elodi-Kate Alcorn

STAGE 2

• Aria Boyle
• Finn Carroll-Cinque

STAGE 3

• Tom Mison
• Remy Elliott

The 2022 Athletics Carnival will be held on
Tuesday 28th June at Walter Peate Reserve, Kingscliff.

● The Carnival will commence at 9am and conclude at approx. 2pm.

● Whilst all events (except 800m) are run at our carnival in age groups from 8-13 years, many events at zone are junior, 11’s and senior. This means 8, 9 and 10 year olds compete against each other so your child may win their age division at the school carnival but NOT make zone.
● Infants students will participate in non-competitive fun events. All Year 2 students who are 7 and do not turn 8 this year will be with the Yr 1 group.
● Students who are 8 Years and older are asked to remain at the carnival until AFTER THE RELAYS ARE COMPLETED.
● If you are collecting your child from the carnival, please see the recording desk. Parents MAY NOT collect other people’s children without prior written permission.

● Parents are welcome to attend the carnival. Please do not approach Teachers or Dance Fever instructors while an event is being run. It is asked that all parents keep an appropriate spectating distance from officials and students while events are carried out.
● Thank you in advance!

Today we were very fortunate to have Peter Mitchell (Mitch) spend the day at our School.

Mitch is the instigator of the MJR Program that is currently occurring in many Catholic Schools around Australia. Mitch spoke at our School assembly this morning and then worked in classrooms with the students throughout the day.

Thank you Mitch for a wonderful day filled with the Spirit of Jesus.
