MERRY CHRISTMAS
On behalf of St Clare of Assisi School staff, I wish your family a happy and holy Christmas and a peace filled 2022.
We thank you for the support you have provided the school, and therefore your
child, throughout this challenging year.
We look forward to seeing you again when school resumes on
Monday 31st January 2022.
(And to our Year 6 students, all the very best for high school.)
May the true spirit of Christmas enrich you all during these holidays.

Dear SCA Families,
Congratulations to our Kindergarten students and their teachers for their fantastic Christmas Nativity on Monday. Our Kindergarten students have come such a long way since the start of the year. What great performances! It was wonderful to see so many parents and relatives at the event. Congratulations to the teachers for all their work in preparing our students. It was an enormous job. Big thanks to the many parents who assisted with this too - especially putting together the costumes!
The Year 6 students, supported by their parents and staff, formally mark the end of their primary schooling tonight. We congratulate our Year 6 students on the successful completion of primary school and give them our blessings as they progress on to the next stage of their journey. We thank, in advance, Kristy Everding, Laura Adams, Bianca Breen, Joseph McGrath and Claire Walsh for their organisation of the ceremony.
To all the families who are ending their association with St Clare of Assisi. Thank you for your dedication to our school and for assisting to making St Clare of Assisi the wonderful place it is. Best wishes in the future.
Helen Hamilton our dedicated music teacher is moving on from SCA. We wish to thank Helen for her dedication and commitment to providing all children a rich and rewarding experience. So many children have been blessed with a great musical foundation.
To the staff (mentioned in last week’s newsletter) leaving this year. Thank you for the contribution you have made to the life and spirit of our school. You leave with our gratitude and prayerful best wishes.
Reports
Last Friday your child’s Semester Two Report was published via Compass. Reading the reports from Kindergarten through to Year Six gave me a great feeling of pride in all that the students have achieved in this challenging year and in the teachers who have provided teaching and learning of excellence. So many children have worked extremely hard and they deserve to take credit for a most successful year.
Meet the Teacher
Students will meet their teacher for 2022 tomorrow (Thursday). Please note that due to privacy considerations your child will not be provided with a copy of their class list, nor will class lists be displayed.
School Fees
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 tomorrow so that we are able to meet our budgetary commitments.
2022
School starts, for all students, on Monday 31st January.
As we travel the season of Advent and prepare for Christmas, I encourage you to remember in prayer those families associated with the school who have lost loved ones during the year and those who have experienced serious illness in their families.
To each and every member of our St Clare of Assisi family, may your Christmas be blessed and truly enriched by the presence of Jesus and his Blessed Mother.
Merry Christmas.
It was once said…
“It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you ... yes, it is Christmas every time you smile at your brother and offer him your hand.”
~Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Be the light.
