Our Librarian, Cath McKenna has some fantastic initiatives in place for students this year, including a book swap, competitions and a dress up day. For more information see the ClassDojo post that had the below flyers attached.
STUDENT ILLNESS
We currently have a large number of children and staff absent with a mixture of Gastro, Influenza and Covid-19. This has had a significant impact on our student numbers attending school, and also on our staffing, as many teachers have been absent struggling through illness.
I can not stress enough, to all of our families, to please monitor children for symptoms and please keep your child at home if they are displaying any symptoms of Gastro, Influenza or Covid-19. Where possible please ensure your child has been clear of symptoms for a least two days before sending them back to school.
We thank you for your support in keeping everyone in our learning community safe.
VINCENT DE PAUL DROUIN CONFERENCE
Our members would like to thank the children from St. Ita's and their families for their generous donations of food supplies for our Winter Appeal. These donations have helped us to restock our pantry. This food will be given out to the needy in our community.
