22 May 2014 Dear Parents/Caregivers Last Friday we said goodbye to Fr Peter with some cake and a soccer game. We thank Fr Peter for all he has celebrated with us and wish him well with his move to Charters Towers. Tomorrow Farewell Fr Peter our students will be a%ending mass with our new parish priest Fr Francis. What a fabulous Under 8s Day on Tuesday! A very big thank you to Angela and Margy for all of their work in ensuring our Under 8s had a fabulous day. Thank you also to all of our staff and Year 4 -7 students for ensuring our Tuesday’s Marvellous Manners Course Under 8s had a special day. I’m confident our visitors from Hughenden Kindy also had a fantas4c morning with us. I am currently a%ending the APRE Conference on Magne4c Island. We have been focusing a lot on the role scripture plays in our new Religion Curriculum. I look Daniel and Meg at Under 8s Day forward to returning to school and sharing this informa4on with our staff. We have another busy week ahead next week. On Monday we will welcome Juanita Wiggins to our St Francis family, on Tuesday we have school photos and on The Bruce Family at Under 8s Day Wednesday we will be having a free dress day for State of Origin and a Japanese tuckshop special! We also have a Show Holiday next Friday. Have a great weekend.
