Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
The Department of Health website provides a number of resources with further information about seeking COVID-19 vaccination, including information and a Flyer to support parents, guardians and carers in having conversations with their child(ren).
Parents, guardians and carers can book a vaccine appointment for their child(ren) at their local GP or pharmacy, or get their child(ren) vaccinated at their nearest state-run vaccination centre by booking online or calling the Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398 between 8.00 am and 8.00 pm, seven days a week.
Many vaccination centres now also offer walk-ins for anybody aged 5 and older. Children aged five (5) to 11 years old must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or carer who can provide consent for the vaccination.

The last day of Term 1 is this Friday 8th April. School will finish at 2pm. We hope you have a lovely and safe holiday period. We look forward to welcoming the students back on Wednesday 27th April.
This week is the fifth Sunday of Lent and the gospel is about living our lives to the best of our ability. Jesus has made us his own and, as a result, we try our best to live as he did, always remembering that we depend on God’s grace and mercy to do so. The gospel shows us that following Jesus means that we neither judge nor condemn others, but always offer them welcome, love and forgiveness. The gospel this week is about a woman who had done the wrong thing and the crowd were ready to stone her. Jesus stepped forward and challenged the crowd ‘Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone.’ Jesus understood that people are often weak and do things wrong. He was always ready to give people another chance, a chance to change their hearts and their lives. The message in this gospel is a good one: showing mercy, compassion and forgiveness are essential to being like Jesus. As we prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus, take some time to share with your children a time when you were treated with gentleness and compassion and the difference that it made to you.
Each week students from each class are awarded Student of the Week certificates. These children are nominated for the example they have been within the school based on the School Wide Expectation focus for that week.
