Dear Parents, Caregivers, Staff and Students,

Pope Francis celebrated the first-ever World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly on Sunday July 25, 2021.  He elevated a theme that he has sought to promote since his inauguration homily as Pope in 2013, when he said one of the duties of being a Christian is protecting the elderly. 

Dear Parents, Caregivers, Staff and Students,

Welcome back to the start of Term Three. I hope you had a well-deserved break; I certainly did. It gave me the opportunity to recharge my physical and emotional batteries. As always, we have a busy term ahead and already things are happening at full pace. With so much happening around the school, it is good to keep a regular eye on the website calendar so you are fully informed and aware of the many things that our students are involved in each week. As a staff we meet on a regular basis to articulate the common vision we have for the children in our care. The rich educational experience that is offered at Liwara can only be enhanced by the wonderful energy, enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by the staff in all our discussions. As always it is a pleasure to see the children back from their holidays, happily catching up with their friends and the staff.

I doubt any of us predicted the term would be ending quite the way it has! With the changes to our end of term Pupil Free Days due to the recent COVID lockdown, our term will officially end this Friday 2 July for staff and students. Term Three will commence for students and staff on Monday 9 July.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
On behalf of the School Advisory Council and the Leadership Team I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in our recent School Community Survey.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Lapathon 2021
Last Friday saw the return of the P&F organised Lapathon.  The oval was abuzz with colour and smiles as our runners and walkers gathered stamps per lap to raise precious money for our school. 

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
We have achieved great things this week and the flow of energy around the school has been uplifting.  We began with our Family Mass on Sunday 16 May which also included the First Eucharist Commitment by our parents and caregivers.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Year Six Camp: The Year Six students and staff were very excited as they left for camp on Tuesday morning for 3 whole days and nights! We know that they will have a fabulous time, as they raft, tower climb, canoe, explore and challenge themselves and each other, developing problem solving and leadership skills.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
A warm welcome back to school and I would like to share how much in awe I am of the lovely weather we have been gifted with during most of the school holidays and continuing into the new term. Our prayers continue to be with our students, families and colleagues who have been affected by Cyclone Seroja and we ask God to bless each and every person touched by the devastation and surround them with His love and protection.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
As we come to the end of Term One, I would like to thank all students, parents and carers who have contributed to the success of the various events that have been part of our school program so far this year. I would especially like to congratulate the students for a wonderful term, filled with self-driven learning and for attacking all tasks with enthusiasm and vigour. Thank you to the dedicated and committed staff who prepare and implement programs of work which invigorate and challenge our students across all learning areas and for their selfless giving of their time and talents. I think we have all earned a holiday!

Dear Parents and Caregivers

As Western Australia moved to the COVID-19 Roadmap Phase 4b on Monday 15 March, we have been busy planning and putting into place the quickest and safest ways for our community to be present at whole school events and in the classrooms, as part of curriculum based activities, in accordance with Phase 4b restrictions, pending no further outbreaks in WA.
