Principal's Message
Dear Parents, Students and Staff,
Welcome back to all students, staff and parents. This term has already started with some great learning and experiences in the first week.
CAMP BRIAR - The year 3 and 4 students spent a night at Camp Briar in Mount Martha on the Mornington Peninsula. The camp activities included a Giant swing, Flying Fox, Push Carts and Archery. The student’s behaviour was a credit to themselves, their families and the school. The Camp staff had many positive comments in regards to the cooperation and teamwork that the students demonstrated. Thank you to the following parents Lana Gusack, Matt McKenna, Matthew White and Michael Verbakel who attended the camp and allowed the students the enjoy the experience. Thank you to the following staff, whose time and efforts are appreciated: Sharon Lee, Bernie Stewart, Sam Ganesh, Natalie Burt, Karina Romania, Andrew Caminiti and Brian Coughlan.
Working Bee: Late last term we had a working bee at school and I would like to thank the many parents who attended and worked on different areas in the school. Garden beds were weeded and bark was replaced in the Adventure playground and the surrounding areas. The driveway out the front was prepared for the following weekend when a slab of concrete was poured to fix the potholes. Thank you to Matt McKenna, Paul Erwin, Michael Verbakel, Paul Erwin, Tim Ferguson, Steve Kimmins, Brenden Howden and Brian Coughlan for repairing the driveway.
St Brigid’s Principal: Marree Morris has started her tenure as Principal of St Brigid’s Primary School in Gisborne. We look forward to working together with the community of St Brigid’s Parish throughout the Macedon Ranges.
Deputy Principal: Andrew Caminiti and Sharon Schmidt are acting Deputy Principals for term 4 and I look forward to their leadership and development at Holy Cross. Both are very competent teachers who bring experience and new ideas to the role.
Calendar of Dates: Please keep an eye on the calendar of dates, as this term will be busy as usual.
Parents & Friends: Thanks to the P & F for organising the Father’s day stall last term, which I am sure all the Dad’s appreciated. The next P & F meeting on the 14th November will be the AGM so please come along and join a group, which is enthusiastic about supporting the students and school community.
