News & Events

At St Paul’s we truly value the students in our care and recognise the importance of faith, dialogue and effective, respectful partnerships between home, school and parish.  It is through showing care and concern, we educate the whole person, strive to have students be the best they can be and help create those positive memories they carry with them.

We want what you want, the best possible education for your child and we will continue to work together in our community to build capacity in all our students to know that they are special and unique.  We walk together with you on this journey, providing the children in our care with opportunities to achieve their full potential in everything they do.

To allow children to reach for the stars I know you want to be engaged in their learning and SEQTA Engage is one way to do this.  As parents and caregivers, you are able to access the daily plan of learning and any associated resources.  If you have forgotten your Username or password, or simply need questions answered about how to best access SEQTA, please contact Kristynn Ross kross@stpauls.sa.edu.au and she will gladly get you on the road to connection.

This coming Wednesday we will be celebrating Ash Wednesday which marks the official beginning of the season of Lent.  The whole school community will receive ashes as a  reminder to follow Jesus and turn our hearts to God.

Lent is a time for giving thanks to and strengthening our relationship with God. Ideally, the commitments that we make in honour of Lent are made with self-improvement in mind, as we look within ourselves and discover what we may do to better our lives and ourselves as a whole. Instead of giving up behaviours or habits that you are trying to kick anyway, why not focus on doing something positive for yourself, or perhaps more importantly, for others? Call that friend who has been on your mind. Reach out to someone in need. Donate your time to something you feel passionate about. Engage in a random act of kindness. Spend the day with your children or a loved one. Allow yourself some much-needed quiet-time. Just simply do something that is good. Now, more than ever, we need to mindful of our connectedness.  Let’s take the time to add something positive into our lives and the lives of others.  It might just be the difference in making someone’s day brighter than it may otherwise have been.

I thank each of you for the gift of your child, and for allowing us to share and be a part of their memories as we walk together.

Take care and have a great fortnight.
