St Alipius Parish School Newsletter

We acknowledge the Wathaurong people who are the traditional owners of this land and pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging.

Listen with the ear of your heart…

We are one community with all of creation,

part of the exuberant universe teeming with novelty and diversity.

Together we emerge out of the fullness of God’s love

and remain held in existence by that love.

At a Diocesan dinner during CEW we celebrate people who have provided 30 years of service to Catholic Education.  This year we celebrated Jason Spark's passion for learning and teaching and the huge commitment he has made over the past 30 years. Jason's creativity, attention to detail and celebration of the unique gift of each individual child have meant that he has made and extraordinary and lasting impact to generations of students.  We congratulate and thank him.

Olivia McKeegan will be in the Library to assist you and your children with book borrowing until 4pm Monday to Friday. Note: children must be accompanied by an adult and this is for borrowing time only.

Reading aloud with your child throughout their primary school years has significant, positive effects on their learning and reading skills. Listening to your child as you read together also builds their social skills and confidence as they engage with you, and the quality time that you spend with them raises their mood and sense of wellbeing.

Not only that, your child will simply enjoy reading to you, and having you read to them. They won’t ever forget the special moments they had reading and sharing stories with you – and you won’t either.

Please come in after school and borrow more books. Take your time and discover the great resources our library has!
