Kindergarten <\/strong>Sophie Chea Kindergarten <\/strong>Jade Jabbour Kindergarten <\/strong>Claudia Chong Kindergarten <\/strong>Kabir Nair Kindergarten<\/strong> Cormac Curnow Kindergarten <\/strong>Matteo Lozina This term, our much-loved Learning Walks provided a wonderful opportunity for parents to step into the classroom and observe their children\u2019s learning in action. Across Weeks 8 and 9, we welcomed families from Prep to Year 4. This week, our Year 3 parents joined us for a Maths Daily Review session, experiencing first-hand the engaging and interactive routines that support their children\u2019s number sense and mathematical thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Primary Athletics Carnival was a fantastic success, filled with energy, enthusiasm, and community spirit. It was wonderful to see so many families join us to cheer on the students and share in the excitement of the day. The weather was absolutely stunning, setting the perfect scene for a full day of races, games and fun. Students gave their all, whether sprinting down the track, participating in novelty events, or cheering for their peers. Thank you to Mr Dunlop, our staff and parent volunteers for making the day so memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Year 5 students enjoyed a special Outdoor Education Experience catch-up session, organised by Mr Walker to help the girls reconnect after their Tallong adventure was cut short due to unexpected weather. A highlight of the day was a surprise visit from Mr Geoffrey Sylvester, Chef of Tallong Campus, who arrived with freshly baked muffins and hot chocolates for the girls to enjoy at recess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To finish the term with a touch of fun and laughter, students and staff took to the Del Monte Field for a friendly game of Goal Ball \u2013 a hybrid of Netball and European Handball. The teacher-student match brought plenty of smiles, cheering, and moments of healthy competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n School resumes on Wednesday 23 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we look forward to a well-earned, three-week break after a busy term, we thank our students, staff, and families for a term filled with learning, growth, and shared experiences. Wishing you all a restful and joyful holiday break. Please take a moment to read the important information below regarding the start of Term 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parents should now have received their child\u2019s Semester 1 Academic Report. This provides a valuable overview of their progress and achievements during the first half of the year. To further support student growth, parents will have the opportunity to discuss their child\u2019s progress and set goals for Semester 2 during the upcoming three-way interviews. If you plan to attend, please ensure you book your interview time on the parent lounge via the following link: Parent Lounge <\/a>The interviews will follow a similar structure to those held in Term 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Thursday 24 July<\/strong>, we will recognise the students in Years 5 and 6 who have been awarded an Academic or Pastoral Award for Semester 1. Parents of recipients have been emailed and are welcome to attend this assembly at 9:00am in the College Hall.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We sent you a detailed letter last week regarding ICAS registration and the LockDown Browser. This is a friendly reminder that online registrations will close at midnight on Monday 28 July<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of our ongoing commitment to social justice, Del Monte will be supporting the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW\u2019s annual Vinnies Winter Appeal with a Crazy Sock Day. The Year 4 Social Justice Action Team are leading this initiative to raise much-needed funds to support individuals and families facing hardship. Donations will go towards essentials such as food, clothing, household bills and homelessness services, as well as helping vulnerable people find and maintain secure housing. Students are encouraged to wear bright, colourful socks with their school or sports shoes <\/strong>as a symbol of compassion, creativity and community spirit. We invite all families to support this initiative and give generously to help bring dignity and hope to those in need this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The College will gather as a community to celebrate the Feast of St Dominic, marking a special moment in our community and our shared heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Event details:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Transportation and Parking:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Morning Tea and Lunch:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On this special day, we celebrate as a community but also remember the wider community to which we belong. This year, we are asking students to bring a donation to the Dominican Sisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will celebrate 100 Days of Kindergarten under the theme 100 Days Brighter<\/em>. This theme highlights the remarkable growth our Kindergarten students have experienced in their first 100 days at school. It signifies how they have brightened our community with their curiosity, joy and knowledge. To symbolise this theme of progress, we invite students to come to school dressed in vibrant, colourful clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parents are warmly invited to join us for this occasion, which marks a significant milestone in our youngest learners’ educational journeys. The celebration will begin with a Liturgy, followed by a Morning Tea, providing an opportunity for families to connect and share in the achievements of their children. Throughout the day, students will participate in various fun and educational activities that not only reflect their learning but also look forward to the continued growth and brightness they will bring to our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2025 theme for the World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly, chosen by Pope Francis, is ‘Blessed are those who have not lost hope<\/em>‘. Drawn from the Book of Sirach, it highlights the dignity of the elderly and the power of hope in the Lord. We are excited to invite grandparents to celebrate Grandparents Day with an open invitation to explore our classrooms. Further information will be shared in due course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We encourage families to be vigilant and continue monitoring their children’s use of devices and online activities during holidays, especially the apps that have online game and chat factions. Please reinforce respectful communication while messaging or emailing friends. Please check the eSafety Commissioner website<\/a> for advice on how to keep your children safe online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students return to school in winter uniform. Please ensure your children are dressed in the correct uniform as specified in the student diary. Students must wear their blazers when walking to and from school. Please be reminded that jewellery and hair accessories are not part of our school uniform. <\/em>Additionally, ensure that every item of your child\u2019s uniform is clearly labelled to facilitate swift recovery in the event of misplacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
