Happy Birthday Rupert W

It was wonderful to welcome the 2024 preschool children to the ELC today for their Orientation Day. Our current preschoolers were so excited to go to their Kinder Orientation Days at St Jude’s (and SJV last week). It’s wonderful to see how much they have progressed this year and how ready they are for primary school.

The 2024 St Jude's kinder children received a take home pack which included a shirt in their house colour. If the shirt is not the correct size and you need to exchange it, please take it to the primary school front office to swap. 

This week we have been super busy with our buddies from St Jude’s AND St John Vianney, we are so lucky to be able to spend time with our school leaders. On Tuesday we participated in the St Jude’s Cup, creating hobby horses in the morning followed by a race in the afternoon. Today our SJV buddies helped us decorate kites, the rain came and spoiled our plans to fly them. We will continue this activity on our next visit. Because of the unexpected rain, we were able to have an indoor picnic for morning tea and watched a video about the frog life cycle.

ELC Resource Fee Refund

Following government funding, Catholic Education is able to provide financial assistance to families supporting the delivery of our 2023 Terms 3 and 4 Preschool Program. You will receive a refund of the $85 resource fee paid for Terms 3 and Term 4 in your next statement.

Mango Update

Thank you for supporting our Mango Fundraiser again this year.  According to the farmers, this year’s mango crop has been full of surprises.  At this stage it looks like our mangos will be delivered in the week of 20 November (week 7) which is earlier than expected. We will keep you informed if this changes.
