School Telephone Update

26 Feb 2020

Dear Families,

Telstra are in the process of repairing our broken phone lines.  We have temporary phones in the office and we are now able to take phone calls on our main line 6292 4500.  We only have one line operating so if the line is busy please try again later.

We cannot transfer calls on this phone so if you wish to speak with the canteen, please call them directly on 6292 7477.  If you wish to speak with a teacher, please send them an email and they can give you a call at a convenient time.  Alternatively we can pass a message onto them for you.

The phone lines at BASCA are also down - if you need to contact BASCA please call the mobile phone 0429 928 034.

Thank you for your patience and we will provide a further update when we have more information.

Regards,
Kate Markcrow
Principal

Pancake Day-Today

25 Feb 2020

St Francis of Assisi Primary School - Calwell office.stfranciscalwell@cg.catholic.edu.au http://www.stfa.act.edu.au/ Ph: 02 6292 4500 Pancake Day - TODAY Dear Families, As you would know, Lent begins this week on Ash Wednesday with our celebration of Ash Wednesday Mass at 9:30am. All parents and friends are very welcome to celebrate with us in the hall.  Today -  February 25th is traditionally Pancake Day (also known as Shrove Tuesday) when pancake ingredients are used up before Lent begins, so Christians can focus on less self-indulgence and instead choose to practice charitable actions for others.  Pancakes will be sold for 50c each at recess and lunchtime at the canteen by the Mini Vinnies students. All funds raised will go to Project Compassion for Caritas.   Donations of cooked pancakes are welcome and can be sent to the canteen before school. Please remember that we are a nut free school.  Lisa Conroy   Lisa Conroy Religious Education Coordinator St Francis of Assisi Primary School Calwell   ph 02-62924500 fax 02-62928998
