It has a busy term particularly for our students who have represented Antonine during inter school sports, athletics and cross country. As always, I have been very proud of all our students who represent Antonine. All schools commend the way we compete and show respect towards the other schools and umpires.
It was lovely seeing our Year 3 and 4 students receiving their First Holy Communion. I thank all the staff that have prepared the students and the parents who have supported their children in their faith journey. It was lovely to see so many families at church. A special thanks to Sr Veronique and Tanya Khattar for all their work with our students.
Bus Behaviour Reminder
We are very fortunate to have a bus service that provides pick-up and drop-off at your door. However, some recent behaviour by students has resulted in several families receiving a formal warning. The bus service is an extension of the school, and the same expectations for behaviour apply. Any inappropriate behaviour on the school bus will not be tolerated. Please note three warnings will result in suspension from the bus service.
Students are reminded to:
Scan their bus card on and off the bus
Wear their seatbelt at all times
Remain seated while the bus is in motion
Speak quietly and respectfully
Keep all rubbish inside their bag
Avoid eating on the bus
Avoid interacting with students from St Joseph
Use AirPods/headphones when listening to music or using a device
Do not walk around while the bus is moving
Thank you to the many wonderful students who consistently follow the bus rules and help keep everyone safe.
Prep Enrolments 2027
We have been busy conducting interviews for our 2027 Foundation intake and it has been a pleasure connecting with families and meeting the next year level of Antonine learners. Enrolments have been positive, with a significant number of siblings among the 2027 cohort which is a testament to the trust our community places in our school. The interview process helps us gather information so we can provide the best possible support to students and their families as they begin their school journey with us.
A reminder that Monday, 8 June, is the King's Birthday public holiday. School will be closed on this day, and classes will resume as normal on Tuesday, 9 June. I hope all families enjoy the long weekend. I look forward to catching up with all the students and their adventures when they return.
