Dear Parents, Teachers and Students,
We do not usually publish a newsletter in the last week of Term 4, but as we were unable to hold Presentation Evening this year I would like to publicly acknowledge the achievements of our students who have been formally recognised for their efforts and accomplishments. A full list of all award recipients, and a photo gallery, follows below.
Yesterday we said goodbye our graduating Year 6 students with a Mass, a K-5 Guard of Honour and a farewell party in the evening. Remember, wherever you go, that you each form a special chapter in the story of our school and you will always be a part of the Mt Carmel Family. Best of luck with the new adventures to come in High School.
I am pleased to announce the classes and teachers for 2022; families will receive notification of their child(ren)’s class allocation via email this afternoon.

I would also like to remind all families that the first day of school for all students will be Tuesday 1 February. The uniform shop will be open on Friday 28 January and Monday 31 January from 10am to 2:30pm. Orders placed via Qkr over the holiday period will be available for collection on the Monday.
And finally, I would like to finish with a few words of thanks. In the face of the many challenges we have encountered as a school community, the many successes of the 2021 school year stand proudly as a tribute to the professionalism, dedication and love that our incredible staff bring to their work each day, and to the enthusiasm, resilience and love that the wonderful children of Mt Carmel School bring to our classrooms and playground every day.
Thank you to every fabulous family for their support this year; I am very grateful to you all. Thank you to the teaching and support staff for their tireless effort, commitment and vocation.
Thank you to the sensational students; I hope that you are all proud of your efforts and achievements this year. Now it’s time for a rest; take good care over the Christmas break.
May you all, and your families, have a happy and holy Christmas in this year of Our Lord, 2021, and may the peace of the Infant Child be with you every day.
May God’s peace be in your families,
Religious Education in the Classroom
Welcome to the last week of Term 4! This week is the third week of Advent and 4TC led a beautiful Advent Prayer Service on Monday. We light a pink candle on the third Sunday of Advent to represent joy.
Thank you to all the families who have donated items for this special cause. Your generosity and support is most appreciated. On Monday, we delivered 20 full baskets to Vinnies.
On Tuesday 14th December, we celebrated our Year 6 students’ completion of primary education with a Mass at St Augustine’s Church. We wish all students a successful start to Year 7.
Mt Carmel School Christmas Item 2021 - Jesse Tree
Last week we concluded our Jesse Tree with the last special symbol of baby Jesus. Thank you to all the teachers and their classes for creating special symbols for our Jesse Tree. Below are all fourteen symbols made by each class:
The Jesse Tree By 1SS
Angel Appears to Joseph By KNB
Mary and Joseph Go to Bethlehem By KJG
St Augustine Parish Mass
