Dear Parents, Teachers and Students,
Interim Reports and Parent-Teacher Interviews
Interim Reports for all students will be sent home on the last day of term. Please bear in mind that the Interim Report is not an academic report but is designed to provide parents with a general insight into the work habits and social skills that students have been displaying as they have settled into the start of the new school year.
Parent-Teacher interviews will be held early next term and in a slightly different way to previous years. Our preference has and always will be to hold interviews face-to-face, but due to the fact that COVID case numbers are still quite high in the wider community we have decided that the safest option for now is to hold interviews remotely. Interviews will still be 15 minutes duration but will be held via Teams. Having interviews in this way also means that we have more flexibility in terms of timing, hopefully for parents as well. Given this, and the fact that holding interviews over several consecutive evenings requires a significant commitment from teachers in addition to their usual working hours, we are trialling a different approach this time around. Each teacher will be released from class for a day to conduct their interviews within the bounds of their normal working day, that is, between 8:30am and 4:30pm.
All families will receive a Compass notification tomorrow with information about their teacher’s interview day and how to book an interview time via the Compass Parent Portal.
Anzac Day Parade
This year ANZAC Day falls on the first Monday after the school holidays, and after consecutive years of cancelled and restricted events it is wonderful that the town parade will be held this year. Mt Carmel will be marching in the parade and I encourage as many students as possible to attend.
The ANZAC March commences at 10:45am, so Mt Carmel students (in winter uniform) need to assemble outside the Liberty Theatre in Lead Street at 10.30am. The ANZAC ceremony will conclude outside the Yass Memorial Hall at approximately 11:45am. It would be fantastic to have every student participating!
Term 2 Dates
Term 2 commences for students on Wednesday 27 April, following the Anzac Day public holiday on Monday and a pupil-free staff professional development day on Tuesday. The start of Term 2 means a change to the winter school uniform. The Uniform Shop will be open on Tuesday 26 April between 1 and 3pm, and any orders submitted via Qkr before Tuesday can be collected at the school office from 1pm.
Happy Easter
And finally, I would like to wish all students, parents and staff a happy and holy Easter — may you all have a safe, restful and joy-filled break. Take care, and I look forward to seeing everyone back at school next term.
May God’s peace be in your families,
Religious Education in the Classroom
Welcome to the last week of Term 1! Students and teachers have been busy preparing for the Stations of the Cross scheduled for this Friday 8 April.
The Stations of the Cross will be set as prayer spaces and each class will walk and remember Jesus’ journey to Calvary. At the end of the journey, Fr Peter will lead us in a whole-school prayer.

Gospel and Reflection
Luke 11:9-10
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘I tell you to ask, and you will receive, search and you will find, knock, and the door will be opened for you.
Everyone who asks will receive, everyone who searches will find, and the door will be opened for everyone who knocks.’
