This day has been declared a service holiday for all ACT Government

it is not a gazetted public holiday for the rest of the ACT. It is school as

BABY CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to the Garth family on the birth of a little sister Kelli for
Keira (Yr 2 Green). Little baby Garth was born on Monday 30th March
ACTION BUSES 27 APRIL ONLY
I have been informed by ACTION Buses that there will be a change to
school bus services on Monday 27 April only. The following statement
is from ACTION:
“Unfortunately, due to scheduling constraints we are not able to
operate dedicated school services (for Catholic schools on Monday
27 April). The parents of non-ACT Government school children who
normally use dedicated school services will need to make alternative
arrangements to get their children to and from school on Monday 27
April 2015.
We have identified the following route services that come in close
proximity to your school which may be an option for your students.
Route 918 and 919.
To help offset any inconvenience, all bus travel will be free of charge
on Monday 27 April 2015. All students and general passengers will
be asked to tag on and off with their MyWay card as usual to collect
accurate travel data, but no fares will be deducted.

Have a safe and Happy Easter,

Smurfs Match Report
What a great start to the season! The Smurfs played a fantastic game of netball against St
Anthony’s, who definitely made us work hard for the ball. The girls are improving in every
aspect of the game, especially when we catch the ball, turn and pass. The girls put in an
enormous effort for their first game, which hopefully means we are in for a great season.
The whole team were awarded the player of the week as they all played such a great
game! Well done Smurfs!

This week the student’s who are participating in this Challenge received their Reading Records. Unfortunately some
of the cards may have the wrong year level on them. If this is the case for your child can I please ask you to cross
out the wrong grade and write in the correct one. You will also need to write your child’s name and date of birth

Good luck and happy reading everyone!
