Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Carers
Thank you all for your support and particpation in our 2025 School Concert "Portal to the Past"
It was wonderful to see all our students on stage performing following the months of practice and preparation. And especially those who had the opportunity to shine with their talents in music, dance and theatre.
Thank you to all the staff for their hard work and dedication to the event and supporting students over the 2 nights of the production.
We are very proud of our wonderfully talented Year 6 students who did exceptionally well at the Rotary Primary Schools Public Speaking Competition.
Congratulations to Tadhg who was crowned the Champion Speaker with his speech about Ocean Conservation. And congratulations also to Jasmeen who finished second with her speech "Laughter, the medicine everyone fogerts about"
Free Dress - Mystery Jar Day
Thursday 30 October is a casual clothes day for students and we ask that in return a mystery jar is donated for our Twilight Market.
We remind everyone that we have a long long weekend this weekend - we have a school closure on Friday 31 October and Monday 3 November with Cup Day Public Holiday on Tuesday 4 November. Camp Australia is providing care on Friday 31 October if it is required, bookings must be made for this service if required.
As advised earlier in the week PAM is currently not accessible for parents. Thank you for your patience and providing notificatino of absences via the alternative methods of call, message and email.
We ask you to continue reporting absences via phone 5940 6777 or email absent@stclaresofficer.
With regards to permissions for upcoming events we will be sending home hard copy forms to ensure these can be returned prior to the activities.
This outage is a complete system outage and not isolated to St Clare's, so it will take some time to restore and not be rectified until next week.
Intentions for 2026
As we approach the end of the 2025 school year, staff are now working on the class placements for 2026. To assist with this process we need to know of any students who are intending to not remain at St Clare's in 2026.
Therefore we ask all parents to complete the survey below for each child by Friday 31 October.
The admin staff will be in contact with the relevant exit forms if you indicate that your child is not returning.
Market Night - Friday 14 November 5pm to 8pm is when our Market Night will be held. Students will be dismissed at 12pm on this day. Camp Australia will provide care for those who are unabel to collect their child at 12pm. Please ensure you book them in if required.
