FROM THE PRINCIPAL.......

Dear Parents,

This Sunday the parish will farewell Sister Doreen, our religious sister who has given sixty years of service to God and community. Sister Doreen will be retiring and moving to Melbourne. One of many fond memories of her work here at St Gabriel’s is of her attending school Mass and walking out to the front of the group at the end of Mass telling every class that they were the best class ever! We wish Sister Doreen well in her retirement and congratulate her on her life’s work so far.

Our school has been featured in the Catholic Education Week advertisement to be shown on WIN television in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for it as it showcases some of our beautiful classrooms, “Gracie” our therapy dog with some children, some Year 5 and 6 students enjoying sport and our very own Mrs Reid in her classroom. Walking around the school with prospective Prep parents during school tours I realise how lucky we are to have such a beautiful school and thank the staff for keeping it so welcoming and vibrant.

Naplan testing was carried out this week very smoothly. Thanks to the teachers concerned for helping the students remain calm and positive by treating it just like another normal class activity.

Our Cross Country students were very successful over the past weeks and we congratulate all participants. We wish those progressing to the next level all the best in their efforts.

Best wishes

Best wishes
