Dear Parents and Carers,

Lots of learning, good vibes and celebrations have been had in the past 5 weeks as we approach the middle of Term 3.

So proud of the Year 2 assembly last Thursday and Year 1 assembly today where classes showcased their learning.  School Awards were given to students for outstanding learning and community spirit.  St. Rita’s Pride!

…consistently demonstrating the core value.  He brightens our classroom with his warm greeting, cheerful smile, and sense of humour.  His effort to make others laugh and feel welcome, helps create a fun and inclusive learning environment.  He also shows respect and kindness by regularly greeting staff and contributing to our positive school culture.

…working extremely hard in your writing and wrote an awesome detailed retell of our weekly focus book “The Kookaburra who couldn’t laugh.  Keep up the great work!

I echo the Leadership team’s writings; I would like to thank our team at St. Rita’s for their commitment to making our school great and our parents as our cheerleaders.

I say again, very proud of our students’ commitment to their learning and growth, whilst showing respect to all in our school.

In the words of St. Mary MacKillop - “We are all but pilgrims here”.

Forward to a Better World, Mrs Bryan.
