Welcome to Week 6, as my first week at Holy Trinity comes to a close I am filled with gratitude for the welcome I have received from the staff and students. Mid term 1 is a difficult time to transition to a new school. During the week a Year 6 class took the opportunity to put me in the hotseat and ask questions that interested them. What is my favourite food, do I have a pet, and by far the trickiest, if I could change one decision from the past what would it be? I found this one difficult to answer as I believe that things happen for a reason and regret is a negative emotion that can easily impact your wellbeing.  I prefer to look at mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow. Just as we would encourage our students to do. As I return to Catholic Education after many years I am excited by the possibilities, continuing to work in an IB School and in a community of curious lifelong learners. I look forward to meeting you all as the term progresses. Please feel welcome to drop into my office for a chat or send me an email if you have anything you would like to discuss.

 It was the perfect week to join Holy Trinity with the wonderful Year 2 Red class assembly on Monday afternoon. It was a pleasure seeing and hearing about their learning so far this year. Followed by Hot Dog & Snow Cone day on Tuesday where the P&F and parent volunteers worked busily to distribute what seemed like hundreds of hotdogs and fruity snowcones to the very excited students and some very eager teachers! 

Our Year 6 students will be heading to Jindabyne early on Tuesday morning to enjoy hiking, canoeing and team building persuits. They will continue to build their leadership skills and will no doubt return to us on Thursday a little tired and weary!

Year 3 and Year 5 begin NAPLAN on Wednesday, March 15 at 9.30am. A reminder will be sent to families involved.

Next Thursday, March 16 will be our School Photos for ELC to Year 5. Please ensure students are in their full summer uniform. The Year 6 photos and 2 ELC classes will take place on Tuesday, March 21. 

Have a wonderful long weekend.
