Other Naz Day Reminders:

Naz Day is a significant celebration for our community and it is an expectation that all students attend as they would a normal school day. 

The theme for Naz Day ‘Once Upon a Time' is inspired by our 2024 College theme, 'Your Story, Our Story, The Story.' All students are invited to dress up as their favourite story character, or wear neat, comfortable, appropriate casual clothing. 

We ask that all students/families make a donation via the Qkr! App in support of Soktober by Catholic Mission.   

Years 6-12 students will be dismissed at 1:25pm on Naz Day. Please view the Week 7 Newsletter for more information about the activities scheduled for the day.

Lunch orders have been taken by the class teacher. Zooper Dooper ice blocks will also be provided during the day. If you think that your child will require extra food for lunch, please ensure they bring that on the day. The canteen will not be available.

We are pleased to inform you that the issue affecting SEQTA Engage access for Android users has now been rectified. Families using Android devices should now be able to access the app as normal.

If you continue to experience any difficulties, please contact our support team at [email protected].

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked through this with SEQTA.

We are about to begin the important task of putting together Reception – Year 6 classes for 2025. In doing so, we consider several factors to ensure the best possible learning environment for your child/ren. These include balancing a full range of abilities and needs, including educational and behavioural. As part of this important process, each student nominates five students from their neighbourhood who they believe support them to be the best learners they can be. This information is considered when forming class placements. Every child will have at least one nominated student in their 2025 class.

Please note that this is not an opportunity to request that your child/ren be with specific students or teachers.

Students will learn of their teacher/s for 2025 on the Transition Day which will be held on Tuesday 3 December. On this day, students will spend the morning in their new classroom with their 2025 teacher/s and classmates.

We are very much looking forward to setting up the best learning environments for the 2025 school year.

We can't wait to celebrate this learning milestone.
