A reminder about the Movie screenings of ‘Wonder’ this week:

On Thursday 14^th and Friday 15^th December Rooms 4, 5 & 6 will have the opportunity to view the movie ‘Wonder’ at the local movie theatre. Because the movie begins at 9 am on both those mornings, it would be great if children could be delivered straight to the theatre by 8.55 am. Bus students will be transported down by staff. All students and teachers will walk back to school after the movie. School uniform must be worn.

Reminder:

*Thursday 14^th December – 9 am: Room 5 and the Year 5’s from Room 4.

*Friday 15^th December – 9 am: Room 6 and the Year 4’s from Room 4.

Diligence Awards:

I will be giving out a number of class awards in Room 4 this week for those who have met the criteria but may not get awarded the final prize at the prize-giving. Unfortunately only ONE person can receive each prize from the school. What a nice problem to have… trying to choose between so many deserving students. Congratulations Room 4 for the high level of diligence and commitment I have seen on a daily basis this year.

 Final days at St. Gerard’s

There’s a bit of a reality check going on for me as the year hurtles to an end and I begin the process of packing up at both home and school. I have had hugs and smiles, gifts, cards and lots of lovely messages from the children. Thank you for a great year. I think the childrens’ reports reflect just how busy and productive they have been with exciting progress across the curriculum for each and every one of them.

Keep up the great work everyone. Love and God’s blessings.
