St Timothy's School Crossing

It is with great excitement and pleasure that I inform St Timothy's Community that we are keeping our School Crossing!!!!!!  At this weeks Council meeting, it was unanimous that all crossings in Whitehorse will be retained and an additional 12 will be added. This, of course, means St Tim’s will retain their much-needed crossing.Fantastic news.

Thank you for all your support to help put our case forward!

Parent Teacher Chats

On Monday 10th Feb we are encouraging all parents to make an appointment with their child's teacher. It is a great opportunity to talk about your child and to get to know your child's teacher/s. Please use the School Interviews booking system . A reminder we also have Parent Teacher interviews at  the end of term 1 & 3 and written reports Term 2 & 4. You are always welcome to make an appointment with your child's teacher at other times throughout the year.To make an appointment for the upcoming interviews Book Here  Code: furup 


Holiday Watering

Thank you to our volunteer families

A very big THANK YOU to the Wang, Haig/Di Mascio, Coxhead, Rodwell, Cavell, Lander & Pemberton families who managed to keep our school garden looking healthy over the Christmas break. Your support is greatly appreciated! It is wonderful that our school has such a beautiful garden setting.

Onesies & Animal Costumes

Our Production for 2020 is Go Noah. We are starting the ball rolling by already putting out requests for anyone that may have animal costumes ( e.g onesie) . They can be 'traditional' animals on the ark or a more 'Australian flavour', WE may even have some keen sewers who can design/make costumes. A variety of sizes would be fantastic. 

We will also be looking for volunteers to help the children create the background scenes/props.Please let the office know if you can assist.

We are awaiting confirmation of a booking of Forest Hill Secondary so will confirm a date ASAP. ( Aiming for in last two weeks of Term 3)
