From the Assistant Principal's Desk:

Book Week 2023 is approaching with the theme "Read, Grow, Inspire." Our annual Book Week Parade on Monday, 21 August, encourages students to dress up as their favourite book characters, celebrating the joy of reading and imagination. Siblings, especially future Kindergarten students, are invited to join in the fun. Throughout the week, activities centered around shortlisted books will engage students, while a colouring in competition offers exciting prizes. At Good Samaritan, we cherish Australian authors and believe that Book Week is more than just dressing up; it's a celebration of literature's transformative power and the love for reading that binds our school community. Let's embrace the magic and adventures found in books and Read, Grow, and Inspire together!
Travelling on School Buses with OPAL CARDS
All students who travel on the bus to or from school each day must carry an Opal Card with them every day. Drivers are warning students and communicating to teachers that travel can and will be refused without an Opal Card.
Please ensure that your child has a current Opal Card if they travel to or from school by bus.
