Dear Parents and Carers,

Sunshine Room Friends

Our Sunshine Room friends, from Grenfell Preschool and Long Daycare, are joining us for a short time while repairs are conducted at the centre. They will be utilising the hall while they are with us and our playground facilities while students are in class. We hope they enjoy their time with us.

Sporting Schools Grant - Cricket

This term we are using our Sporting Schools Grant for cricket lessons thanks to Cricket NSW. Students have enjoyed practising the fundamental skills of the game.

Cross Country

A reminder that our annual Cross Country event will be held tomorrow at Grenfell Country Club. Please ensure that students come to school in their sports uniform or house colours, with their hat, sunscreen and plenty of water. Students will be transported to and from the event by bus. We expect to be back at school in time for lunch. Parents are welcome to attend.

Catholic Leaders Day and Principal’s Retreat

Next week I will be participating in the Catholic Leaders Day and Principal’s Retreat in Bowral from Wednesday to Friday. As Ross Fox the Director of Catholic Education recently outlined, these are the most important days that occur for a Principal (outside of the school) during the year. I will have the opportunity to participate in professional learning regarding the strategic direction of Catholic Education, as well as opportunities for networking with other principals and time for reflection on the important role that I hold. 

During my absence Mrs Danielle McFarlane will be in charge, so please direct any queries to her. Please feel free to contact me by email if needed and I will respond when I am able to.

Kind thoughts,

Melissa Hotham

​Principal
