It was wonderful to see all of our students back at Bethany
this week. They really are delightful children and it promises
to be another magnificent year of learning for each and
every one of them.
A special welcome to our new families in the Bethany
community. It is a great school which you will quickly
observe as we get underway with our learning programs
and other special events.
You are invited to join us
for our Mass to officially welcome
the new school year.
A warm welcome also to our new staff members - Ms Lisa
Howell, Mrs Baldacchino, Miss Orr, Mrs Lynne Shields. We
are blessed with a very talented staff who are dedicated to
the children and their learning. It is a real vocation to be a
teacher and we impact enormously on the future. We are
looking forward to another great year. Please join us on the
journey.
We will celebrate the
induction of our new school
student leaders, welcome our
new students including
Kindergarten and our new
teachers to the school.

This is an important opportunity to welcome the
many new families to Bethany and the
best part is that the children get to have the grounds
to themselves.
All kinder families are invited
(the ‘new’ and ‘established’)
and all food/drink is provided.
Our Year 1 parents will be invited to
organise the event since they were the
beneficiaries last year.
Hope you can join us.
Thanks for your patience and awareness
of safety.
We are off to a good start.
Please be cautious and be on
the look out for children
(especially the infant brothers or
sisters of our students).
Book Club will be due on Tuesday, 15th February.
No late orders and correct money please.
Much appreciated
