Dear Parents / Carers,

THANK YOU

On behalf of St Vincent De Paul and St Andrew’s Parish we would like to thank families who have kindly donated to this year’s ‘Giving Tree’. Once again families of Corpus Christi have shown great kindness in celebrating the gift of giving. Thank you!

STAFF NEWS I wish to inform our school community that Mrs Jill Hennessy will be on extended Long Service Leave during 2017. Mrs Michelle Portelli will replace Jill during the time she is away. Michelle has had the opportunity to work with families and children who have additional needs alongside Jill throughout this year and will be available for any family who may wish to discuss any issues or concerns. We look forward to working with Michelle as our Special Needs Leader in 2017.

On behalf of the staff I wish you a very happy, holy and safe Christmas and a peace-filled New Year.

We all look forward to seeing you in the New Year. With peace and best wishes, Linda

FINANCE School & Curriculum Fees

We wish to advise families that school and curriculum fees have been set for the 2017 school year and all outstanding accounts for 2016 should now be paid in full.
