Dear McAuley Families

As we staff, resource and plan for 2024 I ask that all families who have students who are not returning to McAuley in 2024 to please let us know via email of your intentions for next year.  Our paperwork for the office and NESA needs to notify student destination schools.  We also need to have a good idea of class numbers as we are full (with wait lists) in most grades now. Please contact the office: office.mcauley@cg.catholic.edu.au to advise us of your plans for next year.

I am pleased to announce our Primary Campus classes and teachers for next year.  We have been very lucky to recruit keen, expert teachers to join our college and look forward to the contributions they will make into the future.  Primary students will get a chance to meet their new classes and teachers next Tuesday at our orientation sessions.  Please watch out for more detail to come.

It was fabulous to see our Year 10 students enjoy a wonderful week in Tasmania.  Grateful thanks to Ms Wyse and Mr Edwards for giving up their family time to look after our boys and girls.  Thanks also to the Blakeney Millar Foundation for their generous support of this trip which enables the boat and bus costs to be covered.  This is an outstanding opportunity for our senior students and a fantastic tradition for our college.

Please have your planners and diary at hand as there are a number of events coming in the next few days as we wind down our academic year.

We have much to be proud of as our school has made fantastic gains and continues to grow and thrive.  It is heartening to hear the very positive talk about our school, both locally and in the archdiocese.  It is also most special to hear that, without exception our new students feel like they belong with us and quickly become one of our ‘family’.

I look forward to the various end of year celebrations that are being planned and to celebrate what has been an excellent year.

Mary our mother, Look after us.
