Many thanks to coach, Andrew Kearns, trainer, Eleni Giamadakis and AFL trainee and umpire, Lucas Liakakos for their support and enthusiasm.

Getting Organised
|
As reported in our last Primary Duce, the key focus for staff and students in the Primary School this Term has been organisation. Each day, teachers will be checking student diaries to see if they have continued their reading and completed set homework. Students are expected to have a charged laptop for every class, as well as two red, blue and black pens and two HP pencils, a working glue stick and a ruler for every class. Please replenish your son’s stationery stock so he is organised for every day of learning.

Primary Music Concert
|
Primary students were treated to a String Ensemble Performance by the De La Salle Music Staff on Wednesday 4 May. This was designed to inspire the students to continue with their string instruments as part of their Music program and maybe even join private music lessons or an ensemble in the future.

|
|
|
Our Primary Music Concert is on Wednesday 8 June at the College PAC from 7pm - 8pm. There will be parking on site and we hope many parents can attend. This will be a highlight of the musical year that is guaranteed to send you off with a smile and a sense of wonder at what your son can do!

A number of students are presenting with symptoms consistent with coronavirus, coughs and head colds, influenza and gastro. There are also cases of second time coronavirus infection as immunity wanes. Please monitor all symptoms of illness and if your son is symptomatic, please do not send him to school until he is asymptomatic. If your son presents to the College with symptoms, he will be sent to the Health Centre for assessment and you may be contacted to collect your son for monitoring at home. These are the current DoH guidelines which are endorsed by the College.
