Welcome back from holidays!  I hope you enjoyed some special moments with your children over the break.  

AI & your children’s future - AWARENESS IS IMPORTANT

No doubt, AI discussions have become a conversation in your household.  

• What are Deepfakes and AI Companions?
• What is Generative AI?
• How will it affect my children and their generation?  
• How can I keep my children safe in this new world?
• What are the AI Ethics and Laws?

These questions are just the tip of the iceberg.  

To support you in your parenting journey, Catholic Network Australia is hosting Parent Information Sessions around AI & the digital generation.  

• When: Monday, August 11

EXCITING TIMES

In the final week of Term 2, our dedicated teachers came together for the second Professional Learning Team meeting of the term—a moment that truly highlighted the collaborative spirit at St Rita’s. As part of the session, each teacher invited a student from their class to share a piece of their English writing with the group. These student presentations were more than just readings; they were proud showcases of creativity, effort, and growth. 

For the past few years, we’ve been deeply committed to enhancing student writing across the school. So, when a student stands before their peers and educators, confidently reading their work with pride, it’s not just exciting—it’s a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come. These moments fuel our passion and reaffirm the impact of our collective efforts in nurturing confident, capable young writers, and we are looking forward to the term ahead.

Kind Regards, 

Mrs Gallagher
