I hope everyone has settled back into their school routines with ease and all our students are enjoying their school year and new classes so far. I have been able to get around to all classrooms over the last 3 weeks and introduce myself to your children.  Over the next couple of weeks, I will be spending time in each classroom to get to know everyone better.  If you have any concerns about how your child/children are settling into this new school year, please let know and I will happy to chat with them and assist in any way I can.

Thank you to everyone who completed the St Thomas More’s DSM Support 2021 Forms, I have updated all contacts put together a 2021 contact list.  If you haven’t sent back your form and you would like to receive the defence news please just send it back in at any time.

We have commenced our Thursday Craft and next week I will commence our Deployment Group (craft/Lego sessions) for students with parents away from home or just needing a little extra support. Please let me know if your family has a parent away from home, whether it be deployment, course or exercise and your child would like to attend Deployment Group.

On 31 March 2021, the Royal Australian Air Force will mark 100 years of service to Australia. I have attached a link below as there are some events happening around Canberra to commemorate this momentous occasion.  These events will be ticketed due to COVID restrictions and the number of tickets available has not been finalised at present.  You can visit the website for further information and/or subscribe to their newsletter.
