Dear SCA families,

Community Council

Following our last meeting of the year, I wish to publicly thank the Community Council for the work they have done for our school, and their support of all that we do. It has been another busy year at SCA, and our Council, chaired by Crystal Tunningley, has been actively involved in so many ways. Thank you to each of the members: Crystal Tunningley, Dave Hockley, Simon Hill, Matt Blenkin, Heather Cochrane, Nicki Muir, Emma Phelan, Brendan Mowlam, Melinda Reeson, Nicki Muir, Sally Kasparek, Val Ciuffetelli, Kristy Everding, Luke Brown and Ben Sweeney.

Semester Two Reports

Reports will come to me this weekend for reading and signing. They will be sent home on Friday 10^th December. Please feel free to arrange a time to meet with your child’s teacher to discuss the report during Week 10.

School Fees Overdue

A reminder that school fees are now overdue, for those who are not on a regular direct debit with us I ask that you settle your account with us by Friday so that we are able to meet our budgetary commitments.

Leaving Early

If you are heading off on holidays before the end of the school year, please let the Front Office and classroom teacher know. This will help us to arrange for School Reports and other end of year information.

Library

Mrs Katherine Austin has begun the process of stocktaking books in the library. Please ensure your children have returned all books to the library as soon as possible.

Endings to Beginnings

Students finish this school year on Friday 18^th December, and start in 2021 on Monday 4^th February. (Staff officially resume on Wednesday 27^th January.)

Vinnies Christmas Appeal

Please do all you can to support this appeal. It is a real and meaningful way to help fellow Canberrans who are doing it tough this Christmas. Please be generous.

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.
