Message from the Principal

Dear Families, 

 

Thank you for your ongoing support of our school during these turbulent times. We remain extremely fortunate in South Australia with our management of COVID 19. My heart goes out to the people of the eastern seaboard of Australia. I was interested to read the story of Roald Dahl who, sadly, lost a daughter to measles encephalitis when she was 7 years of age. At that stage an effective vaccine had not been discovered and deaths were quite common. Dahl went on to be a strong advocate for vaccines and I am sure he would speak in favour of getting a jab for COVID. We see very few deaths from measles today, hopefully the same will be said of COVID in the future.

Visible Wellbeing at TWCS

‘I am enough’ – how often do we tell ourselves these words? How often do our children hear these words? In today’s ever changing world and the pressure increasing on children we need to advocate and teach our kids that “They are enough – just as they are!” This is something we will be working towards this term as a Well-Being focus.

Religious Identity and Mission

In all things love 

Feast of the Assumption of Mary- August 15th 

As a Catholic community we now honour and acknowledge the Assumption of Mary the Mother of Jesus. She was assumed into heaven body and soul by the power of Jesus after she completed the course of her earthly life.  This celebration was first acknowledged and defined in 1950 by Pope Pius XII.  As the first apostle for her son and due to her non-wavering commitment to his mission, we thank Mary and follow her as an example of a mother's love.

SACPSSA Cross Country Carnival: 

On Wednesday 18th of August we will be sending approximately 20 students to the SACPSSA Cross Country Carnival that is taking place in the east parklands in the city. The students will complete a 2km race across a variety of terrain including a creek crossing. I wish the students the very best and I look forward to sharing the results from this carnival in our next newsletter. Parent spectators are allowed this year but if you are wanting to attend to watch your child run you must let the school know as we need to record all spectators that attend the carnival.

Hi TWCS Families, 

The remaining sandpit toys have finally arrived! We hope the kids love the selection. We have also purchased new soccer goals - a replacement net, 1 replacement for the broken mini goals and a medium size set. Now the kids can refine their soccer skills during training and at lunch and recess time.  

Get in by Wednesday the 18th August to secure some premium wines! Digital order forms can be emailed to the P&F email or orders can be made via Qkr! Just in time to replenish stock after lockdown! 

We are urgently seeking volunteers for our Bunnings BBQ on the Sunday 22nd August. We will require volunteers for the preparation and serving/cooking on the day. If you are available please email me with the time you are available and if you have a preferred role. 

If you have anytime to help at upcoming events, or have any suggestions/feedback, please contact us via email or attend our next meeting (below). We would love to see some new faces.
