Primary Update – Term 4 Week 6
Assembly PPG
Today, Pre-Primary Green performed Wombat Stew in a magnificent assembly that reminds us of the importance of taking care of each other. The students were so impressive in remembering their many lines. A huge thank you and congratulations to the students of Pre-Primary Green, Miss Donnelly and Mrs Hope.

Our annual Pre-Primary Christmas Liturgy will be held on Thursday 27 November at 9am in the Marcellin Chapel. Students from Pre-Primary to Year 2 will be attending.
Move Up Day
On Friday 28 November, students will participate in Move Up Day, providing them with the opportunity to meet their new classroom teacher and view their classroom for 2026. This is an important part of our Primary Wellbeing Program, supporting students in their transition.

Join us for a delightful evening of Primary Christmas Carols and Awards on Friday 28 November from 5pm – 7pm. This evening requires compulsory attendance, and students should be wearing the full summer uniform. Students can add a Christmas accessory if they wish (e.g. tinsel in their hair).

2026 Booklists
We are pleased to share that from the 2026 school year, our Primary campus will be moving to a booklist system through Box of Books, an Australian company that specialises in simplifying school resource purchasing for families and schools alike.
What is Box of Books?
Box of Books is a trusted provider used by schools across Australia. The Secondary school has been using Box of Books for the past two years with great success. They offer:
- Pre-filled, year-level specific booklists aligned with our curriculum
- High-quality stationery and textbooks
- Convenient online ordering with home delivery
- Competitive pricing and clear instructions for each year group
What This Means for You
Instead of receiving a stationery list and sourcing items yourself, families will:
- Receive a link to a custom online booklist for their child’s year group.
- Place an order directly through the Box of Books online portal.
- Have items delivered to your home before the start of Term 1.
This change not only saves time and reduces the hassle of shopping but also ensures all students have consistent, high-quality materials that support their learning.
What’s Next?
More details, including access instructions and key dates for ordering, will be sent via email to all families in the next week. Our school office will also be available to support any families who may need help with the process.
We are excited about this improvement and confident it will make the back-to-school experience smoother for everyone.
