It was the feast of Christ the King last Sunday. Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He tells us exactly how we will be judged which is a very useful guide for our actions. He simply says that whatever we do for each other, particularly the ones most in need, whether we know them of not, we do for Him. We will be judged on how we treat each other because that’s how we are treating Him.

We thank you, our parent community for engaging with us through their attendance at our recent Parent Listening Forum. Hearing your voice and perspectives on the areas of Catholic life and mission, learning, well-being and belonging within a connected community, supports us in school improvement.

In considering and responding to your voice from the listening forum, we have already initiated improvement in some areas, including:

• Students now recite the school prayer in the classroom after entering the classroom each day.
• Students now eat lunch in their classroom, not on the concrete to improve hygiene practices.
• The library is now open every play break, offering a range of quiet and alternative play options including chess, reading, colouring in and board games
• The new playground will incorporate play equipment catering for a range of ages. It has been enlarged from the original plan, a new and improved format for students to engage in lessons for specialist subjects commencing in 2024, including sport lessons weekly rather than fortnightly.  
• Year 6 will now have their Farewell Liturgy on a different date to the Farewell Dinner.
• Improved communication of upcoming events by using Compass in a timely manner and using the front LED sign.
• Implementation of a school social media team to improve communication and engagement between school, parents and the wider community using Instagram and Facebook
• A new and fresh school website is almost complete! We can’t wait to share it with you soon!

We look forward to continuing to update our community, in response to your voice and perspectives shared, on ways in which we are continuing to improve the school experience for all.

God Bless,
