Student Free Day
Families are reminded that there will be a Student Free Day on Monday, 25th July for the whole college, as all staff will be in attendance of our annual Spirituality Day.
Mask Requirements
We have been advised by the Director of Public Health that the wearing of masks in schools can cease from midnight on Friday, 24 June 2022. While masks will no longer be mandatory, there are times when masks will continue to be worn.
Staff and students will still be required to wear a mask in indoor settings when outside the home, if they are considered a household close contact. Individuals may also wish to wear a mask to reduce their personal risk of contracting or transmitting viral respiratory illnesses. The wearing of masks may also be required by Public Health in specific instances in response to an increase in cases at the College, this will be communicated to families as required.
St Aloysius will continue to have masks available for staff, students and visitors should they wish to wear one. It remains important that students, staff and visitors stay at home if feeling unwell and get tested. Thank you for your continued support as we transition out of Covid-19 restrictions.
Feast Day
On Wednesday, 15th June, Year 1 students went on Excursion, visiting the school oval, Peter Murrell Reserve and Kingston Park.
Clara, a Year 1 student, reflected;
All the Grade 1s were there. I played on the climbing part of the play ground of Kingston Park. Then we hopped on the bus then Miss Squires gave the whole class a lollie. The bus was a bit fun on the Excursion. Then the bus stopped at my school I had a really fun day on my excursion my buddy was Isla it was a really fun day on Excursion.
In week five, Galilee House held a barbeque to raise money for the college Breakfast Club. We raised over $450. It was an amazing turn out with many people showing their support and gratitude for the Breakfast Club. The BBQ had such a fun vibe. Everyone was getting along, and everyone was patient. The BBQ also smelt AMAZING!
Everyone that helped on the day was hardworking, and thank you to the people's generous donations. Galilee House is extremely grateful for everyone's support and their donation to keep the free breakfasts going for the students.
The Breakfast Club provides free toast, milo and juices on Monday and Wednesday mornings before school. Every Friday before school, the Club provides a free breakfast BBQ with bacon and egg rolls.
The free Breakfast Club is seeking donations of bread, fruit, juices, milo, milk, eggs or cash to ensure it can continue to operate three days a week. Thank you to the community members who have already contributed to this worthy cause.

Excursions to Peter Murrell with Kinder and Year 10
Kinder White, Kinder Blue, and the Year 10 Duke Silver students have been enjoying spending time together at Peter Murrell and in the gym. It has been great to see how the oldest students at our College support the youngest. We have participated in many activities; from looking for animal tracks and droppings, bird watching on the viewing platform and testing the floating capacity of natural resources. The students enjoyed participating in many gross motor experiences as well as being involved in mindfulness activities. We look forward to returning again for further exploration and investigating.
