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.

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!
