News from the Principal

Dear Families
It is exciting to be seeing the roadway out of coronavirus and steps towards the new normal. However, can I please remind parents at pickup time of keeping social distancing and moving off once they have collected their children.
This is especially evident on Staple Court where the “island” has become a new play area for children!
Once again, I plead with parents about cars in the back streets.
Some parents insist on driving cars down Staple Court and doing three point turns where parents and children are waiting.

News from the Deputy

#RAISING HEARTS AND MINDS is the new tagline for our Catholic Education SA system of schools. You will start seeing this in various publications.

It really communicates our 'why'.

  • It’s what we do every day
  • We work in partnership with families to educate and nurture the whole person
  • We help young people to thrive… to become capable learners….. and to be leaders in a world God desires.

Here at Rosary school, it sits seamlessly with our 2020 theme of “A Heart that Sees” and provides an opportunity for us all to develop a sense of service and mission for others.

#RAISING HEARTS AND MINDS also reminds us about the important partnership between you – our families – and our staff to continue to raise the bar, inspire and encourage our children to thrive every day.

Year 2 and Year 6 Art Exhibition

The Prospect Council together with Newmarch Gallery provided our school with an opportunity to participate in an Art Exhibition.

We were very grateful that Leah Grant, a local artist was allocated to our school and our year 6 classes and 2TR participated.

The program was funded by the City of Prospect, with the aim to provide students the opportunity to learn about exhibition spaces and be inspired to create their own artwork.

Forty primary students from Rosary have created a piece to be display at the upcoming exhibition ‘No Boundaries’ at Newmarch Gallery, opening on Friday 22nd May 2020.

School Board News

I am pleased to announce that we have dual Chairperson’s this year, Kasia Kelly & Amanda Abela, appointed at our meeting this week.
Congratulations ladies!
A large portion of our meeting was updating everyone on the operations of the school with our responses to the Coronavirus.
While we are coming through this well, there are financial implications to fee remissions that are on offer to families whose employment is affected by the Virus.
However, our school is in a healthy financial situation that will result in only minor changes to our operations. Master Planning As a School, we have lodged our Master Plan Brief (our dreams of future buildings & resources) with CESA.
The process has been delayed by recent events.

We have a group of Architects about to visit our school to look at the site and hear about our dreams. One architectural firm will be chosen.
This firm will produce architectural drawings and costings. When these plans are received we will share them with the community.
