Dear Parents and Caregivers,

WORLD TEACHERS DAY

On Friday 28th October we celebrate all the staff in our school. Even though this day is called World Teachers Day, at Liwara we like to make sure all our staff are included, so we celebrate World Staff Day.

The Liwara students are blessed to have so many dedicated, caring staff members looking after them and making sure they have a safe and inclusive education. Our staff go above and beyond, giving of their own time before school, after school, weekends and holidays. The last few years have been especially trying, so an extra big thank you to all our staff!

ALL SAINTS' DAY

All Saints' Day is held annually on 1 November. This is a day where the Catholic Church celebrates all the saints: canonized or beatified, and the many saints who are in heaven. Most saints have their own days of celebration on the Catholic calendar, but it is not always possible to observe all of these dates. Therefore, most Catholics choose to celebrate all of the saints on a single day, All Saints’ Day.

All Saints’ Day is a special day for our school as our parish church is named ‘All Saints’. Together with the parish, we will be celebrating All Saints' Day at the 9am Mass on Tuesday 1 November.

CLASS REQUESTS

If parents have a reasonable and valid request for a class placement, which could benefit their child's learning, please email: Attention The Principal, to enquiries@liwara.wa.edu.au by Monday 7th November. There are an enormous number of factors that have to be considered by teachers when assigning students to a class. Teachers spend a lot of time, as there needs to be a fair distribution of students by gender, achievement levels, individual social and emotional needs and simultaneously this is no small feat. Therefore, any requests must be in, via the process outlined above, by Monday 7th November. Any requests that come in after this date will not be considered.
