Welcome from Executive Director

A very warm welcome back to Term 2, I hope that everyone is settling in to the new term and that some of the winter uniform still fits from last year!  I heard a funny story from a mum yesterday of a year 9 boy who asked her son to try on his winter trousers on Monday evening to check the length. Of course they came to just past his knee, so she had to frantically go through her box of ‘hand me downs’ to find something that fit. Those of us who have been through the massive growth spurt that seems to happen around year 9 will be able to sympathise!!

 

Unless you have not tuned in to any media for the last month, you will know that we are now in the throes of preparing for a Federal Election. The purpose of this early newsletter is to provide you with information around what the major parties are talking about in respect to education. We hope it will assist in enabling you to make informed decisions when it comes to casting your vote.  As many of you will know, Catholic School Parents WA is a non political organisation and therefore we are not aligned in any way to any political party. However, we will attempt to provide you with as much information as we can secure, particularly with regard to funding or initiatives that affect Catholic schools.

 

We will also continue to upload information as it comes to hand to our Facebook page, so if you are not already ‘friends’ with us there, please take the time to ‘like’ us and keep updated.

 

Here in the office we are also preparing for the CSPWA AGM which will take place on Thursday May 30. Parents from affiliated schools are invited to attend and participate in the proceedings. We would also be interested to hear from any parents who may be interested in nominating for CSPWA Council. This year we are particularly seeking councillors to represent both the Broome and Geraldton dioceses. Should you wish to find out more about nominating for council, please contact Siobhan on 0409 025 683 or [email protected].

 

We look forward to meeting many more parents during the term and as always if you would like to arrange a visit to your school please contact CSPWA's Liaison Officer Theresa on [email protected].

 

God Bless
