SCHOOL UNIFORM SUB-COMMITTEE
At last week's P&F meeting, there was some discussion around reviewing the school sport's uniform. Therefore, I will be reforming the School Uniform Sub-Committee to review the School Sport's Uniform. This process will start in early term 3. If you would like to be a part of this committee, please let me know before the end of the term. I anticipate meetings will be held after school.  A full community consultation process will occur with any changes that the Uniform Sub Committee propose.

NEW STUDENT COUNCIL
Yesterday we had our induction liturgy for our Year Seven Red student councillors. We congratulate these students and wish them all the best for the role that they have taken on. We also congratulate and thank Year Seven Blue for their wonderful leadership of the student council for the first thirteen weeks of the year.

APRE UPDATE
This Friday Year Four Green will be leading the school in prayer. All are welcome to attend our prayer assembly at 2:15pm, this Friday in the church.
