Are you using compass?
As you are aware Catholic Education Tasmania has moved to a new student record system called Compass. The Compass Program allows us to communicate with families directly through the Compass Parent Portal. The Compass Parent Portal is now our main communication tool. All parents will need to download the Compass App and ensure they are able to login.
Thank you to those families who have already taken up the Compass App and are successfully engaging with it and our school.

MrS SEAGAR's Reflection
principal
Welcome to Term 2, Week 1.
It was a privilege to attend the Devonport ANZAC Day commemoration on Sunday with our four school captains. It is always reassuring to see the participation of our young students who will in the future be the guardians of the traditions experienced on ANZAC Day.
We know that Australians and New Zealanders recognise that ANZAC Day is not solely about commemorating those lost in war, but about celebrating certain values developed in any sort of struggle: faith, courage, friendship, perseverance and self-sacrifice.
Tasmania has always presented in armed conflicts with loyalty and service.
In World War 1 15,485 Tasmanians enlisted in the war with 11 receiving the Victoria Cross and in World War 2, Teddy Sheean who was one of those who volunteered and did not return. He has most recently been awarded, posthumously, the Victoria Cross. He now makes up the 14 Tasmanians awarded the Victoria Cross for wartime bravery. Today more than 10,500 war veterans and ex-service personnel live in Tasmania. To all of these servicemen and women we are thankful for their duty of service to not only Tasmania but Australia.
I am always humbly proud of the combined recognition given to New Zealanders and Australians on ANZAC Day. As one born in New Zealand and now an Australian citizen, I am forever reminded on this day, of the amazing courage of these service men and women. The ADF has currently, over 85,00 full time personnel and active reservists, all who deserve our respect and gratitude, for ultimately protecting our democracy.
I am also the proud mum of a daughter who served in Iraq in 2019, in the ADF and consequently now know the personal commitment and courage required to serve our country. I know there are many in our community who also currently have serving members and to you and your family members, I say thank you.
God bless,
Carol
