New School Year Mass
To welcome us back to the new school year, we will be hosting a Whole School Mass at the Church of Christ the King on Wednesday 20th September.
The Mass will begin at 2pm so we recommend arriving slightly before this to be seated.
We hope all our families will be able to join us for this celebration of what we are sure will be a fantastic year ahead.

On site behaviour
Please can we politely remind parents that whilst on school site, we are all role models for our children, so it's important that we conduct ourselves as such. We would like to kindly ask that you be mindful of other parents and children when visiting the school:
Please do not smoke or vape on school grounds, and please try to avoid smoking and vaping directly outside of the school gates where other people need access.
Please avoid using foul or offensive language whilst on the playground,
Children learn by example, so please help us in setting the best possible example for all of our pupils.
ATTENDANCE
TERM 6 ATTENDANCE ACHIEVEMENTS
We had some great attendance in Term 6, and children who had achieved 100% attendance for the whole school year were presented with their rewards during our last assembly of the school year. Children who reached other attendance milestones in Term 6 will be coming home with their prizes next week.
Attendance rewards will start from scratch this school year, so let's hope we can get some more names on that final list by Term 6!!
Thank you to our parents and carers who work hard with us to ensure their children are here on time, every day.
