Dear Parents and Carers
Another busy week and we thank all parents, particulary the mums, whose support and organisation help to ensure everything happens.
Our selected students were very fortuante to complete their District Cross Country races this morning before the rain arrived. Results have not been provided as yet but we are proud of them all for the endeavour and how they represented St Clare's.
Our year 2 students have one swimming lesson remaining on this Friday. These lessons are part of the Victorian Curriculum and provide vital life skills for our students. The Foundation, Year 1 and Year 3 levels will participate in their own swimming program later in the year.
This Sunday 11 May is Mother's Day and to celebrate we are having Mums and Muffins mornings on Thursday and Friday this week.We invite our Mum's or special persons to join our "Mums and Muffins" mornings, where together with their child(ren) are invited to collect a muffin from 8.30am outside the Welcome Room and join them in their classroom until 9.30am. There will also be tea and coffee available in the Welcome Room - we encourage you to bring your own travel/keep up to utilise.
Due to our numbers we are spreading it over the two mornings with A-K Families invitied on Thursday 8 May and L-Z Families on Friday 9 May.
