Reminding children to continue with their routine of homework is important as many projects, assignments or regular schoolwork provides teachers with information about students’ progress and provides final information for end of year reports.  The end of year reports 

Sports Day was a great day of celebration!  The children could barely contain their excitement for a wonderful day.  It was also fantastic to see so many families attend and enjoy the day with the children. 

The teachers did a great job in preparing the students for the events, with great organisational support from Cathy Griffin, P.E. Coordinator.  The House Captains and Vice Captains enjoyed...

We raised just over $500!

School AGM/Parent Information Session on Cyber Safety by the Carly Ryan Foundation

This evening at 6.00 pm the school will be presenting the Annual Report for 2017 to our community. 

At 6.30 pm we have been very fortunate to welcome a representative from the Carly Ryan Foundation to discuss cyber safety and how parents can be more aware of how to support their children when accessing online sites, whether it is for games, social media or other. 

This is a topic that our school community has asked for more information and it is supported by both our Parents and Friends and School Board groups.

Please contact the school regarding your attendance to assist with our catering for this evening.

A crèche is offered for families for this evening. 

Do you have a toddler or a child at Kindy? Have you enrolled them yet?

Whilst priority is given to siblings of children already attending Our Lady Queen of Peace, we still require a completed Application for Enrolment form for each and every child.  Places are filling quickly.  All families wishing to enrol their children in Reception for 2019 must lodge a completed Application for Enrolment form as soon as possible.

Note: If your child is born between 1 May & 31 October, he/she is eligible for our Semester 2 intake.  Application for Enrolment forms are available from the School Office.  Contact Ali or Maureen, on 8345 4036 for more information.

Please keep in your thoughts and prayers Andrea Bishop and her family.  Andrea’s mother passed away yesterday. 

God of love, the Bishop family who have known the time for planting, for laughing and for dancing. The joys of happier days can never be taken from them. Let those joys soften the pain of their suffering now. We ask this through Jesus and his mother, Mary. Amen

Please also keep Nicholas Manolaris and his family in your thoughts and prayers for the recent loss of his grandfather.  May he rest in peace.
