Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to this week’s newsletter. 

Calves - Support needed 

We are looking for some families to volunteer to feed the calves over the weekends. Starting this weekend. Training and school access is provided. One family per weekend (normally), can be a team effort. Feeding is twice a day, morning and afternoon. 

We are also looking for any family who has the ability to home and care for the calves over the school holiday break. 

If you can help with either of these roles please email/call Nick at school to let me know what you can help out with. principal@spkoroit.catholic.edu.au or 5565 8208

WANTED! Saints Jumpers

Do you have a mini Saints jumper in the cupboard?
Rapid growth of the Koroit Football Netball Club’s Under 10s football program means we have more participants than we do jumpers!
But ordering new club jumpers is at least a six-week turnaround .
So we were wondering if anyone had some jumpers at home they would be willing to either donate or lend to our U10 Saints so they don’t have to share their guernseys from qtr to qtr each week.
We know there were also Club jumpers worn during the interrupted COVID years that were never collected when the 2020 & 2021 seasons were cut short.
So if you, or someone you know has a size 8, 10 or 12 Saints guernsey or two, we would love to take care of it for the next few weeks.
We will have a tub at the door of the change rooms from 4pm this Thursday for you to leave the jumper in. 
If you want it back at season’s end, we totally understand - please just attach either a note with a safety pin and your name & ph number OR put the jumper in a plastic bag with your details either inside or written on the outside.
Our superstar Under 10 footballers thank you in advance!
GO SAINTS!
