From The Principal Week 7
Dear Families,
Thank you all for an amazing family and community Fete!
It was a terrific effort by the Fete Committee over many months to prepare for the Fete. They worked tirelessly to ensure everything was organised, booked, delivered, set up, coordinated etc. I would like to thank our Fete Committee leaders for all their hard work; in particular, Mrs Fay Holden and Mrs Jo Reed. Many hours went into planning and ensuring all was ready for Friday evening.
Thank you to those parents, friends and community members who volunteered to help on stalls. Without your help we would not have been able to have as many stalls as we did. On a beautiful Spring evening, the Fete was well-attended and most stalls traded well.
Thank you also to our amazing SCA staff who were involved in everything! Staff were seen assisting with many tasks in and out of school time, setting up, working on various stalls, assisting students and visitors and packing up... among many things.
Whilst the final amount on the day is still to be finalised, it is anticipated the profit will be similar to previous years. However, more important is the fact that we held a great family event for our families and local community. Thank you to the whole community for supporting the SCA Fete again!

Our Newest Members of the SCA Family
63 excited pre-schoolers and their parents visited St Clare’s today for the Kindergarten Orientation Day. It was great to see the children and parents leave with a smile on their face. Thanks to all the staff for planning to ensure our newest students were made to feel welcome.
Semester Two Reports
Your child’s teacher is in the process of preparing Semester Two reports. There is a great deal of work and energy that goes into the writing of these documents, and I thank the teachers for their efforts. Reports will be sent home with the children on Friday 8th December.
School Fees
A reminder that school fees are now overdue, for those who are not regularly paying via BPAY with us I ask that you settle your account with us by Friday so that we are able to meet our budgetary commitments.
January Holidays
Our fantastic Outside of School Hours (OSHC) team run an engaging and fun holiday program for SCA children during January. Please contact Pam (OSHC Director) or our front office for further details.
Extended Absences
A reminder to all families that it is a legal requirement for children to attend school, and for any absences to be explained to the school. Please also note, that any planned absences of ten days or more must be applied for in advance. These forms are available on request from the front office.
Library
Please have a look at home for any SCA Library books that may not yet have found their way back to their own home. You can help us to minimise the number of books we need to replace by returning them as soon as possible please.
