Dear Parents and Carers of St Kevin’s,

Thank you for reading this newsletter!!! Our fortnightly newsletters are vital in the communication channel between school and home. We always endeavor to ensure that all relevant information and upcoming events are addressed in the newsletters and linked to our school calendar. At our P&F meeting parents shared that they have come to realize the importance and relevance of the fortnightly newsletter and how they rely on it for current and future events and information.

So, without further ado I present the newsletter for Week Term 4 2022!!!

Sports shoes are WHITE joggers only.

Congratulations

We are a learning community that celebrates the success of our students academically, socially, in the sporting field and in cultural events. We celebrate the faith journey of our students as they learn each day about the love of God and following the light of Christ.

We congratulate Susan on receiving her St Stephen medal as a fully trained and active altar server here at St Kevin’s Mass Centre. It is great to attend Mass and see Susan up there on a Sunday helping Father Joseph.

We congratulate Matilda on her entry into the 2023 ASPIRE Dance Troupe. We look forward to attending ASPIRE in 2023 and supporting one of our own students.

Here's what Matilda wrote about her experience of auditioning. 

When I went to the ASPIRE audition on the morning the audition was set, I was SO nervous when I walked in the room. My nerves soon passed as we got into the warmup. I saw everyone was nervous - but I think that I was probably the youngest there. We helped choreograph the dance and we got to improvise. Around 4 weeks later I found out that I got in – I was so excited!

We congratulate Jonathan on his selection to try out for the Diocesan Cricket Team. Maybe

he will wear a Baggy Green Cap one day and will remember us here at St Kevin’s.

 

Ticks

It is tick season! Please regularly check your child’s head and behind the ears and other places as ticks are currently very active.
