Misc Items

Rapid Antigen Tests

We have received another delivery of Rapid Antigen Test kits.  While testing is not mandatory it is recommended twice weekly for students.

If you require another kit please email Sandi or message your child's teacher through SeeSaw.

Working With Childrens Check

It is a requirement that any parent who volunteers or visits the school must hold a valid Working With Childrens Check card (WWCC).  While we have not had many occasions recently to have visitors in the school we are hopeful that will change soon.

A Working With Children Check is free for volunteers, applications are done online through the link below. Once you receive your card, please send a copy to the office to be placed on file. Thank you.

Uniform Shop

Size 6 and 8 short sleeve polo's are back in stock and available to order via CDFpay.

Unfortunately we are still out of size 10 short sleeve polo's, size 6 & 8 long sleeve polo's and size 6 & 8 fleecy jackets. These items have been ordered and are due in soon.  We will let you know via the newsletter when the stock comes in.

We are also out of size 6 & 8 windcheaters, please note that this item is not being re-ordered. We are phasing out the windcheater as we have found that most students prefer the button up Fleecy Jacket or the Microfibre Jacket with the front zipper, both of which can be worn any day of the week, all year long.

To place orders online please click the link below. 

Please note that orders are not always filled the same day. The uniform shop is run by the P&F Committee and most are working mums who volunteer. We will get orders out to you, via your child as soon as we can, however this is dependant on when volunteers are able to come in. Thank you for understanding.

Socktober
Last year our school participated in Socktober. Funds raised were donated to Catholic Mission and was used to help fund the Kindergarten Centre in Bangkok which is run by The Good Sheperd Sisters.  The centre was forced to close it's door during the pandemic, but repopened in November with 70 students returning.

Without the support of local donations through Catholic Mission the Kindergarten may not have managed through the crisis and have gotten back on its feet.

Sister Chalaad is extremely grateful for your compassionate response:

“The children, the teachers, and all Sisters in the Good Shepherd Kindergarten Centre are deeply grateful to all Australians who have helped and funded our Kindergarten activities and made us feel very encouraged and not walk alone.”
