Student Leadership Positions 2018 In order to ensure equitable representation and that we have the best possible leaders representing our school, in 2018 we will be trialling a new student leadership model. Again, it will be the students who vote for their leaders however they will be free to vote for the person/persons they think will best represent them, regardless of gender. This will be the major departure from the existing model. May They Rest in Peace We pray for the souls of the recently departed Betty Dolan and Fran Castle. May they rest in peace. We will keep their families in our prayers. Girls Summer Uniform At present a number of children and staff are investigating the possibility adding dress shorts to the girl’s summer uniform. If you are at all interested in this initiative and would like to be part of a small group examining the possibilities, would you kindly contact Mrs Mimmo at the school. Reconciliation I would like to congratulate the following children Cooper Carnley, Jack Castle, Ruby Clark, Wyatt Cuthbert-Moore, Harry Davies, Christian Davis, Taj de Legh, Madison Fitzgerald, Mason Gordon, Aston Hammond, Jacob Hutchins, Samantha Kerr, Harry Kschenka, Bellah Longford, Zoe McLean, Darcy Mimmo, Chloe O’Donoghue, Seth Osmond, Logan Pettigrove, Adelaide Rivero, Emmett Smith, Harry Taylor, Grace Watterson, Lyla Meredith and Madisyn Bengston who will be making their First Reconciliation tonight. Well done boys and girls. I would also like to thank your parents, your teachers and Fr Rafter for supporting you during your preparations. Graeme Urquhart, Principal
