Dear Parents & Friends,

Well to say this is not the start we wanted for Term 3 is certainly understating things! We have two beautiful new buildings, ready to go and no-one to share them with.

I would, however, sincerely thank everyone for working together to make remote learning as successful as possible. Staff has been amazing and have worked tirelessly in their attempt to ensure student learning continues and in meeting the needs of individual students. I am very proud of their work at this difficult time.

Thank you to all our parents, grandparents and family members who are assisting our students with learning remotely. I greatly appreciate the support in keeping the vast majority of our students at home. Not only is this best for their safety but the safety of other students and the staff at this stage. As a parent who experienced remote learning with a Year 12 student last year, I appreciate that this difficult. Even more so for families with young students. You will be pleased to know that late last week the State Government announced that they were going to prioritise vaccines for teachers and school staff and a great many of our team embraced the opportunity and received their first vaccine shot last weekend.

My heart goes out to families who are struggling at this difficult time. Lockdowns can be a very challenging period both in terms of finances and mental health. If known to us we will do what we can to assist. Last week families would have received a Compass alert providing support for those who need relief from school fees. If there is anything further, we can do please let your child’s teacher, year/stage coordinator, Mrs Agostino or myself know. 

May God keep you in the palm of His hand.

Mr Abernethy
College Principal

Towards the end of term 2, St Francis held a winter appeal to support the work of the St Vincent de Paul Society Nagle Centre in Campbelltown. This centre assists those who require assistance with facilities such as a dining room where they can share a meal; toilets and showers to keep clean and a small classroom area with a library and computers for use.

As part of the winter appeal at St Francis, each grade received a designated group of items that they were asked to purchase and bring in to add to the school’s overall donation for the Nagle Centre. As a whole, the contribution from families made this appeal very successful and the College was able to donate dozens of bags of items to the Nagle Centre to support those in need. As a thank you, a mufti day was given to all students who had contributed during the appeal.

On delivering the donated items to the Nagle Centre, staff were overwhelmed by the generosity of families at the College and wished to extend their sincere thanks to all who supported the appeal.

Gold Award

Congratulations to Alayna D,Devika A,Blake M on acheiving their Gold Awards.

The MISA dance showcase was a spectacular event to attend although it was also  nerve-wrecking experience. However, the audience were thrilled by our performance on stage. The moment we entered the Campbelltown Catholic Club, all of us were struck with shock, so much so that we almost had butterflies in our stomachs. The architecture of the building was similar to a huge mansion. It was amazing to see the talent that all the other schools possessed. Each group did different styles of dancing like hip hop, contemporary and jazz. The MISA dance group was spoiled with all the great performances that we were able to witness. We hope that new members will join MISA Dance in 2022 to experience this fun opportunity and the wonderful world of dance!
