DRAFT+Letter+from+meeting...Please+modify

Dear Parents/Guardians, I write to you on behalf of the Principals of catholic schools in the greater Mount Druitt area. On their behalf I welcome you to the celebration of catholic education in “Catholic Schools Week”, March 14th to March 19th. A time when we recognise the gifts, talents and achievements of our students and teachers in our schools. Many parents presently have children in our catholic schools and have experienced the wonder and joy of a catholic education for them. For others it may be a time of deciding whether I should consider an education in a catholic school. These decisions need consideration and as Principals we understand the challenge around this issue. We are particularly conscious of the fact that finanace could be an issue. There are ways around this and we would be more than happy to talk to you about it. We would not like to think that any child was denied a Catholic education because you,as a family, could not afford it. As a group we have made the commitment to be available for all parents/guardians in assisting you. We can be contacted at our schools and look forward to meeting with you. We believe strongly in a catholic education for students from K-12 and will assist all families in any way to ensure a catholic education is available to all the young people and families in this area. The Principals and schools are as follows: Dr Elizabeth Ricketts- St Aidan’s Primary, Rooty Hill 96253181 Ms Mary Creenaune – Good Shepherd, Plumpton 98321509 Mrs Moya McGuiness – Sacred Heart, South Mount Druitt 96258733 Sr Brenda Kennedy – Holy Family, Emerton 96289232 Mr Phillip Mahony – St Framcis of Assissi, Glendenning 98323062 Mr Robert Laidler, Loyola Senior High School,Mount Druitt 98324455 Mrs Brigid Eljed – Clare Catholic High School, Hassall Grove 98352466 Mr Peter Brogan – St Agnes Catholic High School, Rooty Hill 88820700
