Dear Parents and Caregivers of Good Samaritan,

On Sunday many of our students will make their First Holy Communion. This is such a special time in the faith life of any person. It is one that is remembered for many years to come. The Gospel on Sunday will ask the question: 

‘Who do you say that I am?’

This question is so important for the children who will engage in the Eucharist for the first time. It is a question that speaks to the relationship they have with Jesus - which will be strengthened by the understanding of Communion. 

As a school community let us pray for these students as they take this step in deepening their faith and their relationship with Jesus.

May you always know 

the peace of Jesus

the light of His love

and the joy of His life 

within you.

Until next time,

Toni Sillis

Principal

GIRLS’ SUMMER UNIFORM OPTION:

Following discussion with parents and students the uniform pictured below has been chosen as an option for girls to wear during the Summer season. The feedback from the girls in Years 4 & 5 was considered and maturely communicated. They are quite excited about the choice to wear a ‘skort & shirt’ option.

We have communicated with Poppets who will now proceed to work on the delivery of the uniform for the 2024 school year.

Summer Uniform Changeover:

As the weather begins to get warmer the students may wear their Summer uniform from Monday 4 September. It is then at parental discretion as to which uniform is worn given the weather forecast until the end of term.

All students must wear the Summer uniform from the beginning of Term 4.
