This award highlights the initiative led by our parents and staff throughout 2025 to create a welcoming and supportive environment for families with children who have a disability. Out of 117 nominations across eight categories, being selected is a true honour.
A special thank you to Fiona Green, whose leadership and thoughtful submission brought this project to life. Her work reflects the strength of the group and the support they offer one another.
We also congratulate our neighbours at Prendiville Catholic College, who received the Secondary Community Award for their inspiring project.

Over the next few weeks you will note upgrades at the front of the school, especially around the main entrance to the school admin. This may require you to take a detour to enter the school on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 November. We will ensure that there is appropriate signage to assist you during this short period.
Please reserve Tuesday, 25 November, at 6 pm for the Annual Community Meeting. We will present annual reports from both the CSAC and FSSP, as well as information regarding teacher placements and school fees for 2026.

Principal
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our students who received the Sacrament of First Reconciliation. It was a truly beautiful and reverent service, and we are so proud of each child for taking this important step in their faith journey.
We hope they continue to engage with this sacrament regularly, finding peace, reflection, and spiritual growth through it.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world.”
— Albert Einstein
In our early years we recognise the importance of nurturing creativity and imaginative play in our students, which is essential for their development and learning.

2026 Uniform Updates
Kindy – Year 2
- The Sport Uniform is compulsory for all students in Kindy to Year 2.
- Please note: Skorts are not part of the sport uniform.
Years 3 – 6
- New skorts (see image below)will be available for purchase as part of the formal uniform only and will replace the maroon skorts.
- At the end of 2026, maroon skorts will no longer be part of the SSP uniform.
Socks
- Once the beige socks have sold out from the uniform shop, students will transition to wearing sport socks every day.
Shoes
- Predominately black or white sneakers (only worn on sport uniform days)
Examples:
- Black formal shoes (not leather sneakers) to be worn on the Formal Uniform days.
Examples:
Students may wear small stud, sleepers or huggy earrings. Large hoops or dangling earrings are not permitted, as they are not suitable for active school environments and could present safety concerns.
Examples:
The Australian Government is introducing world-first social media age restrictions to help protect young Australians during a critical stage of their development. These changes will come into effect from 10 December 2025.
To help parents understand and prepare for this change, the eSafety Commissioner has created a Social Media Age Restrictions Hub. It provides clear, practical information about the new rules and how they apply to popular platforms.

We encourage all families to take a look and stay informed.
