PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Our opening prayer was written by Mr Mead for this week’s Year 7 assembly. It is a celebration of the courage, connection and commitment that has been so evident in our community at this challenging time. In choosing our school theme for 2020, we, though many are one, we never imagined how much it would reflect our lived experience.
Term 3 has finished with a number of special events. Year 7 and 8 students enjoyed their Reflection Days, most year levels gathered for assemblies, Year 9 students presented their MAD projects and we’ve continued to enjoy a range of activities like online chess, trivia competitions, R U OK Day and WOW.
Reflecting back on the term, we can all be well pleased with all we’ve achieved. Despite learning and working remotely for the whole term, much of what we normally do in Term 3 has been completed. Students have developed pathways and selected courses for 2021, participation in co-curricular activities has been high and learning has continued differently but almost seamlessly.
We’ve had online parent/teacher/student interviews, assemblies, awards ceremonies, incursions, reflection mornings, a rosary circle, learning area weeks, our first Father’s Day Breakfast, launched the CRC-STA podcast and much, much more. I hope that everyone feels proud and a deep sense of achievement.
Thank You
As we come to the end of the term, I would like to acknowledge the incredible work of students, staff and families throughout this term. Thank you for your support, resilience, grace, patience and generosity in all things. It is very much appreciated.
Even though what we can do is still limited by Stage 4 restrictions, I wish you all a restful holiday break and lots of sunshine so that you can enjoy the extra time outside.
Term 4
At this stage there is no change in Government advice regarding schools for Term 4. It seems that Years 7 – 10 will continue with remote and flexible learning for at least the first 2 – 3 weeks.
Week 1 (Monday 5/10): Remote and flexible learning for all students.
Week 2 (Monday 12/10): Prep – Year 2 and Years 11 and 12 return to onsite learning.
All students from Year 3 to Year 10 in metropolitan Melbourne will continue with remote and flexible learning until further notice. A date for the return of these year levels to onsite learning will be subject to further health advice.
