Dear parents and carers,

As we come to the close of another term I would sincerely like to thank everyone for their efforts over the past ten weeks. The Covid situation in Victoria across this term has taken its toll on a lot of people including our school community. Your flexibility in swinging from remote learning to onsite learning back to remote and so on, as well as lockdown to no lockdown has required an enormous amount of resilience from everyone. Congratulations students, parents and staff on getting to the end of term 3!

I would like to inform you that Mrs Sally Darby has accepted the position of Principal at Lumen Christie School Churchill for 2022. We congratulate Sally and wish her well for this new adventure.

The scheduled professional development day on October 4^th around the Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviour Support has been postponed to a date to be advised in the future. This means that St Gabriel’s students will begin Term 4 on Monday October 4^th. Hopefully it will be the whole school returning. Nothing is definite. I will keep you informed as news comes to me about this.

Please be patient as we negotiate what we can and cannot do for the remainder of the year. Swimming programs and excursions/incursions are still being planned. Should these not happen there will be a process for credits to be applied to accounts, as was the case last year. Let’s keep looking ahead with hope and positivity.

I wish you all a restful and refreshing break and encourage you all to enjoy special and happy times with your family.

Warm regards,

Ros

Roslyn Joyner
