Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to St Rita’s newsletter 2025. I hope you’ve had a wonderful school break, are excited for the new year ahead and have not gone mouldy in the last few days! It was lovely to see the excitement on the faces of our students and parents on Wednesday as we welcomed new and old families back for this year.  

TIPS TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD IN SCHOOL

  • Arrive at school well before 8:35 am so your child has time to organise their belongings and socialise with their friends before the bell - this helps them to be calm and ready for learning.
  • Allow your child to build independence and build self-esteem by carrying their school bag in themselves - this supports students developing responsibility and accountability.

HAVE YOU DOWNLOADED THE MYCE APP!

Please download this app! It is available in the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad users and in the Google Play Store for Android phone and Tablet users. This will be the one-stop place for you to access students’ and school information, and log student absences from your phone. It will be the access for Student Report Cards. MyCE stands for My Catholic Education.  This is an app that we are just beginning to use at St Rita’s, so you will see information being added as we build our knowledge of its functionality.  If you require support with this, please pop into the school to see us.

Please see the Parent Information brochure using this link for more information.

NAPLAN

Year 3 and Year 5 students will sit NAPLAN, the National Assessment Program of Literacy and Numeracy tests which are scheduled for Weeks 7 & 8 of this term. Students will participate in four assessments: Writing, Reading, Conventions of Language (grammar, punctuation and spelling) and Numeracy.  Once the timetable has been created we will communicate this with parents of Year 3 and 5 students.
