ST. ANNE’S WRAP!
Principal’s Message
Welcome to the newsletter for this week.
For the last two weeks we have enjoyed reading the St Anne’s Remote
Learning Wrap as part of our school’s communications. A great read
and thank you to Mrs Pauline Burgess and Mrs Coralee Italiano for
creating our remote school newsletter. As good as it was with two
editions only, but two brilliant editions, it’s now being shelved/
archived in to St Anne’s history, and with all due respect to our
editors, hopefully never to return again. By that I mean, school’s back
and our school newsletters are back (although this newsletter is still
recognising some of the things happening in our homes).
On that, two points:
1. The school newsletter is going through an evolution phase. Over the next few weeks we will ‘play and explore’ with the
newsletter in terms of content, images, setting out, branding etc. So please keep an eye out for these changes.
2. Today we saw a formal announcement from the State Government regarding a return to school on Monday 18 th May for all
students. As a result of this announcement, Catholic Education Western Australia will detail their plans, policies and
protocols regarding school return of which I should receive today and relay to our families tomorrow.
So with a return to school we will see a return to some form of normality, somewhat. As I expect to receive a range of
correspondence over the next week and our ‘new’ protocols need to be addressed, I feel I will need to take additional
opportunities aside this newsletter to re-engage, re-inform and re-direct our families with regard to school life at the moment.
Please keep an eye out for this information.
With a return to school please remember that policy and procedures need to be maintained. Specifically, next week we will see a
return to normal uniform. Please note this includes correct hair styles, jewellery wear, jumper wear, track pants and shoe choice.
As access to the Uniform shop is an issue at the moment, the transition from summer to winter uniform will be given some leeway.
I will write to you all next week detailing uniform expectations and uniform shop access.
Remember also, that “The Spirit of Jesus” continues to be a ‘theme’ celebrated within our school. Please take note of the ‘Making
Jesus Real Tip of the Week.’ By changing our behaviours and attitudes to live more like Jesus we can definitely make a difference to
other individual’s circumstances, as well as our own.
This week, with an attendance rate of 82% of our students coming back, our school is gradually returning to how we remember it,
and how we want it. Students full of fun, eagerness and energy to learn and share.
A sincere thank you to our families for all they have done, all they have given and for all the understanding they have shown over
the last few weeks. The support they have shown our school and our staff has been amazing. Thank you also to our wonderful staff
for the commitment, agility, care and dedication they have shown to our students. We welcome our school returning to the way
we want it but we should also reflect and celebrate the collaboration, partnership and uniqueness of achievement that our
parents, teachers and students were all collectively able to achieve over the last few months.
Let’s look to the future with optimism, hope and a smile for all those around us.
Have a safe and happy week.

Introducing our Student Leaders: Uduc Captains

up with friends and playing with his dog

loved being House Captain so far and is
looking forward to leading Uduc for the
