Welcome to Week 3

Dear families and carers,

What a beautiful week we've had with sunshine and warmth. You may have noticed some exciting changes happening to the front wall of our school. Kalara has begun to create her design and it is beginning to take shape. We look forward to seeing it evolve over the coming weeks.

Our Tournament of Minds team set off for Sydney today on the train with high energy and are looking forward to representing the ACT in the STEM International Finals. We wish them well for their days away and thank Miss Tonkin and Mrs Scougall who are supervising the team.

Last Friday Kinder White shared their learning across their How the World Works inquiry into how change tells a story. They displayed a variety of thinking skills through the text 'The Snail and the Whale" and the Learner Profiles represented in the text. It was wonderful to watch the confidence and enthusiasm the students displayed as they sang, read and used drama throughout the presentation.

2025 Colour Run

On Friday November 15 the Community Council will be hosting a Colour Run as a fundraiser! With an exciting afternoon beginning with a sausage sizzle, students will wear a white t-shirt and get showered with coloured powder at various points throughout the course. The cost is $20 and your child will receive a headband, glasses, sausage sizzle and ice block. All payments will be made through QKR.

Call for Volunteers - Colour Run!
Week 5, Friday 15 November 12.00pm - 3.00pm

Are you free for some colour fun? Wear your white t shirt and come along to squirt the kids in colour. It will get messy, but it's heaps of fun.
Also looking for BBQ cooks for a Sausage sizzle.
If you can help out, please text Cath on 0413 319 899.

Have you ever thought of becoming a Catholic?

If so, Fr John and some parishioners invite you to join them 7:00 - 8:30pm, Monday, 11 November, in the Parish Centre adjacent to Holy Trinity Church. The invitation is to meet regularly thereafter and journey possibly through to reception into the Church next Easter. You might not be baptised or christened, or you may have been baptised but not completed the other sacraments of Christian initiation. Join others to reflect on life and the teaching and practice of the Catholic faith and discern whether you might want to become Catholic or complete your sacramental initiation. All are welcome. An expression of interest can be sent to the Parish Office (6281 3999, wodennorth@cg.org.au) and Fr John will follow up.

2025 Classes Reminder

Over the next few weeks we will working with teachers to create classes for 2025. When considering class compositions there are many factors to take into account. As a PYP school, collaboration is an essential component of your child's learning, and although students are placed in a class with a specific teacher, there are many opportunities throughout the week, where classes are mixed or opened for differing groupings, based on the learning tasks. If a parent has a particular concern regarding the placement of their child/ren in classes, this should be written in an email to me by Friday Week 3, 1st November, and this concern will be considered seriously. However, there are no definite guarantees regarding parent requests as there is much to consider when creating classes. Please note, teacher requests are not to be included in these emails and previous requests from other years will need to be sent again if they still stand for the 2025 year.

Leaving Holy Trinity in 2025

We are finalising our staffing allocations and classes preparing for 2025. To help with staffing needs, could I please ask that families planning to leave Holy Trinity at the end of this year, (other than our Year 6 students), please fill in the form below:
