Ding ding! School’s back in

Some started back today, some will tomorrow and some aren’t back until next week.

But whichever day it falls for you and your kids, all across the Archdiocese holidays have to make way for school.

For parents of first-timers, it can be a daunting and teary exercise, so here are a few tips from the Principal of Sts Peter and Paul Primary, School, Garran – Margaret Pollard – that might help.

• Preparing your child to start school for the first time

Some of the schools in the Archdiocese have posted photos of kids going back to school and we’ve put few of those into a gallery. But we’d welcome more, so please feel free to send your school-returning or school-starting pics to catholic.voice@cg.org.au and we’ll add them to the gallery.
