From the Principal's Desk
Thank You to:
- our committed P&F who organised a terrific Trivia Night last Friday night. A great time was had by all who were able to attend. All funds raised will help to contribute toward air conditioning our school
- our Year 6 teachers: Mrs Malady, Mr Ambrosi, Mr Condon, Mrs Henessy and Mrs Copas for organising and attending the Year 6 camp last week. The students had a wonderful time - coming home filled with many stories and life long memories. Staff who attend these opportunities for the children rearrange their own family lives and this is very much appreciated.
- to all Good Samaritan staff who have worked tirelessly throughout the semester to improve their teaching always striving to meet the needs of students.
- to all parents and carers who demonstrate commitment to Good Samaritan by making sure that their children are ready to learn each and every day - it is very much appreciated!
Enjoy a restful holiday break with your children. I look forward to coming to know more of our parent community as we enter Semester 2.

SPB4L:
This week we are remembering to value:
Qualities that reflect our school ethos:
‘We are a Catholic community, inclusive and compassionate, promoting quality learning, journeying with Jesus, drawing all into the heart of God
Focusing on our Sports Carnival:
Sports Carnivals are always lots of fun. When the whole school goes out together for an event such as this it is really important that everyone works together to help the day run smoothly. All Good Samaritan classes have been taught the expectations for the carnival. These are shared for all parents and spectators who are coming to enjoy the day with us at Beaton Park.
NAIDOC WEEK:
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life.
The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
The children of Good Samaritan would like to share with you some of their artwork in recognition of NAIDOC Week 2019. Please visit the school hall after our Liturgy on Friday or in week 1 next term before school on Wednesday and Thursday or after school on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.
