Catholic Education Week - Invitation to Grandparents Day Event

Communities of Faith, Hope and Love

AN INVITATION TO OUR COMMUNITY

This year the theme for Catholic Education Week is “Communities of Faith, Hope and Love.”  It is easy for me to see that from where I sit, but I wonder what our community members think?

I invite you all to submit your ideas of how you see Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School as a community of Faith, Hope and Love.  Our core virtues are respect, determination, courage and service – do you see these virtues being lived out to show that we are that community of faith, hope and love?

You can be as creative as you like with this challenge – submit a video, piece of artwork, a photo or a few words, it is totally up to you.

Please send through your ideas by the end of Week 2 – in time for us to celebrate Catholic Education Week in Week 3.

I am happy for you to email me any submissions and I look forward to hearing or seeing your ideas.

Term 3 School Fees

Parents & Friends Meeting - All welcome

We invite all of our Parent Community to our P and F Meeting tonight -  Tuesday 19 August at 6:30pm - in the staff room (entry via the front office).

Although the meeting starts at 6:30pm you are welcome to join us a little earlier for a chat and a glass of something if you can.

Parent Orbit App

The App, Parent Orbit, which is connected to Parent Lounge, will improve our communication with each other as it offers a quick and easy way to receive notifications, add Student Absences, view and pay School Fees, accept or decline excursions via the Events and Activities, check the school calendar, update details and permissions and much more.

Some of you may already be using the Parent Orbit App for Chanel College and you will simply add Star of the Sea as another school you can access.

The App uses your Parent Lounge log in to access and will be a great way to access Parent Lounge features as you will not have to log in every time.  

To download the App to your mobile device you can click on the link https://parentorbit.page.link/sosg  or visit your APP store.

Most of our Term Dates for the rest of the year are already installed on the App so it really is a good resource for you.

Wearitto Uniform Shop Opening Hours - Extended Trading Hours

The Wearitto Gladstone Uniform Shop trading hours have extended for Term 3 and Term 4.  The new hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 4.30pm. 

The shop is located at Shop 1/90 Goondoon Street for all school fittings and uniform needs.

Student Absentee Line

If your child is not attending school, you can call us, 24/7, to leave a message to report the absence. The  phone number is 4994 8301.  

This designated phone line gives you the opportunity to call the school at a time that is convenient to you.

As always, absences can be reported using Parent Lounge or by emailing your child’s classroom teacher  and                                                                                                                SOSG_Absentee@rok.catholic.edu.au).
