Important Reminders for Week 1 of Term 2
KAYA,
I cannot wait to see all of the smiling faces of the students tomorrow at school. I am excited to get stuck into Term 2 and continue to watch the students flourish and grow in their leadership roles in Year 6.
I have tried to keep this blog shorter than the previous blogs and just keep the information and reminders needed for week 1 of Term 2. All of the below are due this week. Please reach out if you have any questions.
If you need to look over the other information relating to Confirmation please refer to the other two earlier blogs.
CONFIRMATION PREPARATION REMINDERS
REMINDER SAINT RESEARCH - HOLIDAY PROJECT due on Wednesday Week 1 Term 2
On the last week of school, the students were given the description and rubric for an at home school project, this is due on the first week back to school of term 2. The students were given the last week of school and the two weeks of the school holidays.
This project involves your child creating a box full with objects that they feel represents their Saint, they will have to decorate this box and then create a 3 minute spoken presentation in which they will introduce their Saint and describe the items included in the box to the class. The students have viewed examples from last year to help inspire their thinking. Please see the note and rubric given to the students below, this will also be available for viewing on your child's One Note on their laptop. We are asking that those who have been absent in the final week to catch up and complete this task as well.
Due Date: Wednesday Week 1 Term 2 (27th of April). Saint boxes due and Presentations begin.
Any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.
CONFIRMATION SASHES (Confirmation Candidates only...)
On the last week of school there was a letter sent home with the Confirmation candidates only about the Confirmation Sashes. (Please note change of price for these sashes below).
These sashes have been ordered, if you would like the embroidering on these done by Hip Pocket we are asking that you return the form with the child's saint name, family name and selected colour with $15 by week 1 Term 2. We are sorry to put a rush on this, however the embroiders need a couple of weeks to ensure these are completed in time.
Please see below of what this will look like:
IMPORTANT! LETTER TO CHILD
This letter is often something your child will cherish and hold onto for a long time.
The length of the letter is totally up to you, however I ask that once you have completed it you put it in a sealed envelope with your child's name on the front and pass it on to me. I would like for you to keep this a secret and a complete surprise for them on their retreat day, so this may mean dropping it off to the front office or slipping it inside something else for your child to pass onto me (I am very good at secret squirrel business).
In this letter you may want to include:
- Your fondest memories of them
- What qualities you most admire about them
- How they contribute and fit within the family unit
- The attributes you are most proud of, making them a role model for others
- Highlight any of their achievements
- Your best wishes for when they receive the Holy Spirit for the first time and wishing them well for their next stage of their faith journey (only for those completing the sacrament)
- Any important advice about life or lessons in life
I hope these suggestions have helped. The most important thing is that they are from the heart!

Myself and Mr McSevich will be in touch after the diagnostic assessment early in Term 2 to advise if we think your child would benefit from these sessions. This will run every Wednesday from 3.15pm - 4.15pm allowing students who are attending to eat a piece of fruit and have some fresh air before it begins. This will be held in 6H room.
