LAST DAY OF TERM 1

Term 1 | Week 8 - School News

Staffing Arrangements:  Michael Hayes

After 21 years of dedicated service to the school, I wish to advise that Mr Michael Hayes (Groundsperson) will not be returning to Guardian Angels’ School.

Michael has been an appreciated staff member at our school for many years and his contributions to our Guardian Angels’ community have been highly valued.

I wish Michael all of God’s blessings for his future endeavours.

Parent Workshop: Creating a Safe School Community

On Tuesday 21 March, before the P&F Meeting, Leadership will run a 45 minute student protection workshop for parents. This workshop complements the work that we are already doing to create a safe school community for students, including completing Student Protection training.

This in-person session will support our parents and carers to work in partnership by helping to understand:

·         the school’s Student Protection Processes and Guidelines 

·         what to do if they are worried about the safety and/or well-being of a student

·         who to talk to in the school if they are worried

·         what happens after a parent/carer tells someone about their worry

·         what they can do to keep their child/ren safe and protected

Please RSVP using this link: https://forms.office.com/r/vhs3JJrPFm 

Live the GA Way - To Achieve Life

We are preparing to launch our whole school framework "To Achieve Life". On Thursday 24 March Leadership will be available on the Mt Carmel and GA campus to answer questions about "Live the GA Way". We look forward to sharing with you our story of development and implementation.

Drop off and pick up zone volunteers

Thank you to those parents who have already so generously volunteered their time in the pick up zones. We truly appreciate your help.

We would love parent helpers in pick up zones this year. Pick up zones operate from 8:00am – 8:25am in the morning and from 2:55pm – 3:20pm in the afternoons. It's an easy 25 mins, opening car doors, helping little people in and out of cars.

If you can spare 20-30 minutes once or twice a week please email Jenny Druce at jdruce@bne.catholic.edu.au with your preferred day, time and campus.

A friendly reminder, before commencing your role as a volunteer or other personnel at our school, you are required to complete the online volunteer training. This training needs to be renewed annually and can be found here: https://www.bne.catholic.edu.au/students-parents/student-protection/Pages/Student-Protection-and-Code-of-Conduct-Training-for-Volunteers-and-Other-Personnel.aspx

You will need to download, print and complete your registration form, which is contained within your online training. Return it to the School Office prior to commencing your role.

Second-hand Uniform Shop

The second hand uniform shop is open on the first Monday of the month with the next open day on Monday 8 May.

The shop will open between 7:45am and 8:20am on the GA campus. Each item is $5. Cash only sales.

Need items outside of shop open times? Please email pwynnum@bne.catholic.edu.au with what you need and one of our amazing parent volunteers will fill this order for you.
