Dear Parents and Carers,
It was a great day on Campus today with the re-opening of the MPC. The Upper Junior School students have been waiting eagerly for this area to be safe and ready to use again.
Metro South Futsal Competition
On Monday our Futsal students in Years 3 – 6 attended the Metro South Futsal Competition. Our students played well and showed great sportsmanship.
The Under 11 Boys, Under 9 Boys and Under 10 Girls will return on Monday for the Finals. Congratulations to these teams. We thank Mr Ocana, Mr Linning, Mr Barnes and Mrs Begbie for coaching our teams.
Volunteers
This is a reminder for parent volunteers.
- Any parents who volunteer for any period of time must provide evidence of COVID vaccination status before they can volunteer on campus.
- Any parents volunteering regularly (7+times), are also required to apply for a volunteer blue card.
- There are some options for parents who are not vaccinated to do some volunteer jobs at home.
- If you wish to do access volunteering this way please let me know.
