From the P&F Association
We are already halfway through the school year, and before we know it, the holidays will be upon us. As we come towards the pointy end of Term 2, it is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how fortunate we are to be part of such a vibrant and connected school community.
Over the past six weeks, it has been incredible to see so many parents, carers and students actively participating in the wide range of events and activities across the College. These moments not only enrich our children’s experience but also strengthen the sense of community that makes Santa so special.
One of the cherished Santa traditions took place this term was our Year 4 students receiving their polos. Proudly supported by the P&F, this milestone marks their final year at Del Monte before the boys continue their journey to secondary school and the girls make the exciting transition across the road to Gioia House. The children were absolutely thrilled to receive their polos and wear them with pride, embracing this special rite of passage as they prepare for the next chapter of their Santa journey.
Thank to you Giovanni Portelli for again giving up his time to take these precious photos.
P&F General Meeting
The next Parents and Friends (P&F) General Meeting is coming up and we would love to see as many of you there as possible! This will be the final General Meeting where we will hear from Paulina before she leaves to travel to Rome.
Date: Wednesday 10 June 2026
Time: 6:30pm
Location: Benincasa, Secondary Campus, Santa Sabina College
This meeting is a fantastic opportunity for us all to come together, share ideas and discuss plans to support our school community. We’ll be covering several important topics, including upcoming events, fundraising initiatives and ways we can all contribute to making our school an even better place for our children.
A Reminder About Our Community WhatsApp Groups
Our year-level WhatsApp groups are an important extension of the College community, helping parents and carers stay informed, connected and engaged with school life.
These groups are intended for sharing information that supports our students and the Santa Sabina community, including:
- promotion of College events and activities
- information about school-endorsed fundraising initiatives and charities
- celebrating student achievements
- reminders about year-group activities
- other matters directly related to Santa Sabina and its students.
To ensure these groups remain useful and relevant for all families, we ask that they not be used to promote personal businesses, non-school-endorsed charities, commercial ventures or topics unrelated to the College.
By keeping conversations focused on school-related matters, we can avoid unnecessary clutter and ensure important updates and reminders are not missed. This helps maintain the value of these groups as a trusted source of information and connection for our parent and carer community.
Thank you for your support and cooperation in respecting the purpose and management of these groups.
