News from the Principal
Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
We are looking forward to seeing you all at the Meet the Teacher sessions. Entry will be available via the Seymour St and Church St gates. The sessions will be in your child’s classroom. This is a great opportunity to get to know each other and share information about your child that will help them succeed this year.

HOT LUNCHES
Coming soon …
We are excited to have found a local company who will be able to provide hot lunches to the school on a regular basis. St Gabriels have been using them for a while now and are happy with them.
We are finalising details with them but at this stage the lunches will be weekly on a Monday. Ordering is completed via an app and the lunches delivered to the school.

At assembly this week we will be presenting the School and House Captain badges, Student leaders will receive these on March the 8th. Parents are warmly invited to join us.
