Principals Report Week 8 Term 1
Dear Parents and Carers,
Think U Know
Rosary Primary School will be hosting a ThinkUKnow presentation on 31st March 2025 at 6pm in the Rosary Primary School Library and all parents, and carers are encouraged to attend. This session is designed to help parents and caregivers better understand the digital world our children are navigating, and to provide valuable tools for keeping them safe online.
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn more about young people and the online environment, and how you can help them to be safe and responsible users of technology.
For more information, you can visit www.thinkuknow.org.au.
Due to some of the content in the presentation, children are not allowed to attend the Parent/Carer Presentation. Families that require care for their school aged children who attend Rosary, can have them supervised by a teacher for the duration of the presentation in an adjoining room. These children will be watching a G rated movie and will be required to be signed in and out from Egypt. It is essential that you inform the Front Office if you require this supervision for your child by close of business, 27th March.
Attendance
Every school day presents an opportunity for children to learn, grow, and build a foundation for future success. While we understand that there are times when absences are unavoidable due to health or other personal reasons, it’s also important to recognise that missing school frequently can affect a child's learning. When students miss too many days, it can be harder for them to catch up with their work, stay engaged with their peers, and feel connected to their school community. Absences can quickly add up. For instance, if a child misses one day every two weeks, by the end of the school year, they will have missed 20 days of learning - almost half a school term. Over time, these gaps can become difficult to bridge.
We deeply appreciate your efforts in ensuring your child’s consistent school attendance.
Year 5 Mass
Today Year 5 had their Grade Mass. A big thank you to the parents and family who were able to attend and to the Year 5 teachers, Mrs Nicole Mogan and Mrs Naomi Scott, for their preparation of the students. Well done to the students for their respectful and reverent participation.
Best wishes for the week ahead.
