Dear St John the Apostle families,

It has been a very busy week this week so I will keep this week's column very short.

Last night we had a wonderful Trivia Night! It was a fabulous community event. Thank you to Stephanie Juskevics (mother of Ivy in Kindergarten) for organising the everything. Thank you to the Raiders club at Belconnen for providing a venue and to Mercure hotel Belconnen for their generous prize of an overnight stay for two people. There were many laughs and cheers as we tested our knowledge about the 90's. Let's do it again next year!

Congratulations to all of our Year 3 to 6 boys and girls who participated in the Oz Tag Gala days earlier this week. We had 7 teams participate! While no teams made it into the finals, every team had a great time playing together. Thank you to Mr Ryan Spencer, who organised the whole opportunity, and to the parents who helped with managing and coaching. The opportunity wouldn't have been possible without you.

Taking Leave

During Weeks 6-10 of this term I will be taking some Long Service Leave. I look forward to travelling with my wife and enjoying an adventure before returning in Term 4. During that time Ms Rebekah Brown will be Acting Principal and Ms Stephanie Stewart will be Acting Assistant Principal. Further details about temporary staff changes in that time will be communicated in the coming weeks.

This weekend, enjoy the sunny weather that promises of the coming spring days ahead of us.

Kind regards,

Matthew Garton

Principal
