Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
Hard to believe we are almost at the end of term 3. This term certainly has flown by with many school events completed.
National Child Protection Week: September 7-14 2025.
Every conversation matters: Shifting Conversation to Action
This theme highlights that while open discussions are crucial, words alone are not enough: we must turn dialogue into meaningful action.
NAPCAN acknowledges that while conversations can raise awareness, challenge harmful norms, and spark new ideas, real change happens when we take steps to create safer environments for children that prevent them from harm.
This year, we are focusing on moving beyond conversations to concrete actions that prevent harm and instead, focussing on strengthening support systems, and empowering communities to actively protect children.
By shifting from conversation to action, we can ensure that every child not only feels heard but also experiences real safety, care, and protection.

CLASS MASS
Families are warmly welcomed to attend our weekly class mass, held in the school multipurpose room at 9:30am.
Entry is via Gate B which will be unlocked at 9:15am on the day.
Sign in/out is set up at the multipurpose room/chapel for your convenience.
The class mass dates can be found on our dates to remember calendar in the newsletter.
Punctuality in arriving at school is important for the smooth functioning of school programs, for developing the children’s organisational skills and for the children’s feeling of security.
If your child is late to school arriving from 9.10am onwards due to an appointment or any other reason they must be signed in at the school office.
If your child is unwell, to speed up their recovery we recommend keeping your child at home until they are fully recovered.
Absentee notifications can be entered via PAM up to seven days, if you will be away longer than this you will be required to contact the office on 5174 5515.
Please note all absentee notifications must be completed via a Parent Notified Absence in PAM prior to 9.30am. If we have not received notification you will be sent a message via SMS with regards to your student/s being absent for the day you will need to phone the admin office on 5174 5515 to advise the reason why the student is absent as this is a legal requirement.
UNIFORM
It is expected that parents support the uniform policy by ensuring children are always in correct uniform. Notes explaining incorrect uniform should be forwarded to your child’s teacher.
The sports uniform can be worn only on nominated sports days. This varies for class levels.
All shoulder length or longer hair must be fully tied back in school colored hair ties.
Students may wear earrings (studs or sleepers) and a watch.
A back-pack style bag which features the school logo is available for all children at Beleza School Uniforms.
School hats must be worn daily throughout Terms 1 and 4 to protect children from the harmful effects of the sun. Students who do not have hats at school will be required to stay in the shade.
Please be sure to label all items of clothing as items are often mislaid or wrongly claimed by other children.

St. Gabriel's Primary School is a child safe school. We are committed to embedding a culture of Child Safety, adhering to the Victorian Child Safe Standards: Managing the Risk of Child Abuse in Schools and School Boarding Premises (Ministeral Order No. 1359).
We believe that ensuring the safety of the students in our care is an integral part of who we are as a Catholic faith community. The school acts in accordance with the Ministerial Order through policies, procedures, measures and practices, staff training and, ultimately, through the strategies used in working with the students and families within our school community.
We continue to maintain and develop a safe and supportive learning environment where staff are focused on engaging students in meaningful, relevant and challenging learning experiences.
If at any time you have any issues or concerns you feel you need to raise please contact our Principal: Michelle Charlton or our Child Safety Officers: Alison Phillips on 5174 5515.
