Kindergarten 2020 Information Evening
Today we held our final Kindergarten Orientation session. It has been absolutely lovely getting to know all of the students who will be joining the Mt Carmel community next year. Tonight at 6:30pm in the Lacey Library we will hold a parent information evening to answer any final questions about getting ready for that big step of starting school.


BYOD Information Evening
On Monday 18 November, Week 6, at 6:00pm in the 5/6JH classroom we will be holding an information evening for parents of Year 4 students about Mt Carmel’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. Students are welcome to attend.


Class Placements 2020
Parents are invited to email me with regard to any considerations you may have for your child’s class placement for 2020. These considerations should be important for the education and wellbeing of your child. Requests for a particular teacher, gender of a teacher, multiple friends etc, are usually not appropriate nor a priority. It is very important for parents to understand that creating classes is detailed and exacting work completed by the teachers to ensure that your child is placed in an appropriate class group each year. When considering class groupings, teachers will look specifically at your child’s educational and social needs and place them with peers that will support their development. Requests are to be emailed to me at: michael.green@cg.catholic.edu.au by Friday 8 November 2019. Please be aware that each request will be considered separately and by no means are all requests met. Requests from previous years are not kept on file or considered, as situations change each year. If you would like a previous request to be considered again, you are asked to send in a new request.


Equestrian
Bella and Molly Jarratt competed last weekend at the ACT Interschools Equestrian Championships. They represented Mt Carmel beautifully and achieved wonderful results across several disciplines, including Sporting, Dressage, Show Jumping and Show Riding. Molly’s achievements included lots of ribbons in Sporting and Show Riding, and Runner Up Year 3 Sporting Champion and Winner of the Year 3 Sportsmanship Award. Bella’s greatest achievements were winning Year 6 Runner Up Sporting Champion and taking out two Junior (Primary) State Championships for Showjumping - 50cm and 60cm and the overall Highest Point Junior Horse/Rider combination. 
Well done, Bella and Molly!

Sports Shirts
We are very grateful to Chesne Harrison and the Mt Carmel Ex-Students Association for the donation of three sets of representative sports shirts that made their debut at the Boorowa Touch Football and Netball Carnival. 

May God’s peace be in your families, 

Michael Green
