Term 3, Week 8 - 4th September, 2025

From the Acting Principal

Dear Families,

As we step into Week 8 of Term 3, it’s hard to believe how quickly the term is flying by! The energy across our classrooms has been inspiring, with students deeply engaged in their learning and embracing every opportunity to grow, collaborate, and shine.

This week marks a wonderful time to pause and celebrate the progress we’ve made together. From exciting classroom projects to community connections, our students continue to show resilience, curiosity, and kindness in all they do.

We’re also beginning to look ahead to the final weeks of the term, with preparations underway for upcoming events and parent-teacher interviews. Please keep an eye on communications for key dates and opportunities to get involved.

As always, thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. It’s through our strong home to school connections that we create the best possible environment for our learners to thrive.

Wishing you a fantastic week ahead!

Warm regards,
Liv Osborne
Principal (Acting)

Child Protection Week: 7-13 September, 2025

The theme for Child Protection Week this year is a follow on from last year’s theme of “Every Conversation Matters.” As parents and carers, conversations between you and your children are vital – you are the most important people in your child’s life to advocate for them, listen to them, and share messages of safety and support.

This year during Child Protection Week we encourage parents and carers to speak with their children about their understanding of safety and their support networks. In particular, we encourage parents to educate themselves and have conversations with their children about online safety – an area we know that is a growing risk for our children and young people. You can access useful resources about online safety on the eSafety Commissioner’s website here: The hard-to-have conversations | eSafety Commissioner

During Child Protection Week our students engaged in a number of activities to reinforce safety messages – for primary school students, they were provided with two activities to complete in class time including a “Keeping Safe” activity and a “Circles of Yarns and Chats” resource to help them identify their personal safety networks. High school students were provided with a sticker with a QR code that links to our Toowoomba Catholic Schools website, to a webpage containing links to external support services (such as Headspace and Kids Help Line) as well as a reminder about our School Student Protection Contacts. You can view the webpage here.

Should any student be concerned about how they are being treated by an adult, or another child or young person, they are encouraged to speak up to a trusted staff member or one of our School Student Protection Contacts (SSPCs). All students were reminded who our SSPCs are, and that they are depicted on the ‘Keeping Safe’ posters located around the school.

Child Protection really is everyone’s business, and we are committed to making our school a safe, secure, and protected place of learning for every student.
