Christmas Mass Times at Our Lady of Lourdes
Save the Date - Welcome Back To School Drinks
The P&F would like you to save the date for a “Welcome Back To School Drinks” for parents and teachers/staff on Friday 7th February 2020 from 7pm onwards. The venue is to be confirmed but it will be somewhere local. Book your babysitters now!
The uniform Shop will open on Wednesday, 29th January 2020 from 9.00am - 12.00pm for all of your last minute uniform needs. We are hoping that the size 6 sports polo tops will also be available on that day.
Research is clear that children who don’t read during the long summer break can lose up to three months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative, long-term effect. Therefore, we ask that your child/children read each day for 15 to 30 minutes. Students who maintain their regular study habits through the summer months get enough mental stimulation to keep their brain active, while still getting plenty of rest and relaxation.
Lisa Collinson lost a navy and white flecked three quarter wool coat/jacket at the disco last Thursday evening. If anyone has any information that might help Lisa find her jacket could they please call her on 0403 092 403. Thank you!
Our warmest congratulations go to Matilda Woods Rahiman, Inamul Rahiman and big brother Luca Kennedy Woods on the arrival of their gorgeous baby daughter and sister Aamina!
