Dear Families,

We have officially passed the halfway point of Term 2. The school is buzzing with athletics preparation, choir practices, engaging classrooms and a range of lunch time activities to keep our students engaged. As the weather is getting cold, it is a timely reminder to ensure students are wearing the correct jumper/jacket/stockings etc. It is often the point in time of the term, where children can become tired and find it harder to get going in the mornings. It is also an important time in the term where student learning is assessed. Thank you for ensuring your children come to school ready and prepared for their day– even on the hard days!

School Choir

Congratulations to our school choir for the participation and success in the recent Toowoomba Eisteddfod. They entertained the Empire Theatre audience, along with their families with a rendition of ‘Star Full of Stars’. The choir placed 3^rd in their section. We are very proud of their efforts in both their Wednesday before school rehearsals and on the evening. Thank you to Mrs Rosier for her preparation of the students and passion for Performing Arts.

Oval

Next week, the new oval space will be opened for our students to use. The extended green space will provide our children with additional play spaces, more room for sport and physical education lessons. Later this year we will officially open this area, with a whole school fun and active activity- watch this space!

St John’s Roma SRIP

You may remember that in 2024, our school went through the school renewal and improvement process with Toowoomba Catholic Schools. This process is across the Toowoomba Diocese. Next week, I will be supporting this process in Roma as a peer principal. During this time, Mrs Janice Moore will be deputising.

Athletics Carnival

Next week, all our students will have the opportunity to participate in our school athletics carnival. It is also a wonderful opportunity for families to watch their children participate in the day. It is important for us all to remember, that although the carnival has a competitive element, it is also a day where we encourage every student to participate to the best of their ability. Good luck to all students and thank you to Mr Dugdale, for his excellent preparation of the students and organisation of the day.
