Dear Parents and Carers,

A super huge thank you to all in our wonderful community for all your hard work, time and effort with the 2019 St Thomas More Fete.  We were blessed with great weather which added to the wonderful community spirit that was evident in our school last Sunday. The final totals are still being tallied (and will be provided when finalised), but by all accounts a successful day was held yet again with all monies raised contributing to and supporting the school’s resources.  Thank you in particular to the 2019 Fete Committee - Kylie Finn, Kim Harley, Melissa Pinzuti, Kellie Diamond and Tracey Rowe-Tucker. Thank you to all parents, particularly those of the P&F for all your support.  

Thank you to everyone who:

• donated goods and money
• spent money
• worked on a stall
• purchased tickets 
• set up on Saturday
• cleaned up on Sunday evening
• contributed to the success of the day.

There have also been other school events in recent weeks that have been well supported by students, families and staff.  Thank you:

• to those who were involved in our school’s Cyclic Review last Wednesday 31st July.  Students, parents and staff were involved in discussions with the Review Team regarding our school’s strengths and areas to further develop.
• to the students, parents and staff involved in the Soccer Gala Day on Friday 2nd August.  Approximately 100 students represented our school and by all accounts we are very proud of the students participation and sportsmanship displayed throughout the day.,
• to our school captains Isabella-Grace and Ryan who represented our school at the annual Campbelltown Catholic Club Communion Mass on Sunday 28th July.

Prayers are requested for Mrs Rachel Neville (one of the ladies who works in our school office) who is very ill.  We have included a special prayer for all sick people, especially Mrs Neville, each morning with our regular school prayer.

Best wishes for the coming week,

Philip Barrington

Please note that this Friday’s Awards ONLY assembly will commence promptly at 2.15pm.  Many class awards will be presented as we have been unable to have an awards assembly for the past two weeks.  Kindergarten are attending their excursion and so we will catch up with their awards in Week 4.
