Uniform Shop Opening Time Change:
Commencing next Wednesday, the Uniform Shop opening times have changed to 2.30 pm -3.30 pm every Wednesday. The need for this change is to help support another school who is starting up their shop from scratch. I have agreed to this to ensure we can retain JFE’s Number 1 person in school uniform operations. This allows us to access immediate responses from JFE as required. We appreciate this is a change after only two weeks of opening up, but have made this decision believing it is in the best interest of our school, and wanting to pay forward the good deeds we receive at times from other schools. If we find this does not suit the needs of our parents, we will review the opening time later in the term. Thanks for your understanding in this matter.
Please also note that online orders now placed before lunch time Wednesday will be delivered to classrooms on Thursday morning.

Library News
Good news! CBCA Book Week 2020 will now be held in October on the following dates: OCTOBER 17-23 2020
These later dates will apply in 2020 only, recognising the exceptional circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The library has lots of books needing covering. If you can help out by taking a small number of books home to cover, please call into the library. Your help is greatly appreciated by staff and students.
If any families have Children’s Magazines that they no longer need, the students would enjoy reading them.
Please note:
ALL students require a
‘St Columba’s Homework/Library bag’
to borrow library books.
Students without the St Columba’s bag will be unable to borrow from the beginning of Term 3
Just a reminder that students require the school green ‘Homework and Library Bag’ in order to borrow from the Library.
Many students will already have the green school ’Homework and Library Bag’ from previous years.
‘Homework and Library Bags’ can be purchased from the Uniform Shop at a cost of $10.
Parents please order via the link on the Uniform Shop page of the school website.

School Banking
School Banking is back.
School Banking is back. School Banking Day will be THURSDAY 8:15-8:30AM, in the CANTEEN commencing on 6TH AUGUST 2020.
All school banking contacts will be run in line with WA Government regulations regarding COVID19 including cleaning of all surfaces prior to banking starting, hand sanitising for all students and parents, and social distancing for all students. All prizes are individually wrapped and sealed.
School Banking is a fun, interactive and engaging way to help young Australians learn about money and practice good savings habits. For each weekly deposit made at school, students will receive a token. Once they collect 10 tokens, they can redeem them for a School Banking reward.
Exciting news for TERM 3 is that CommBank will be rewarding all bankers who deposited in Term 1 with the option of an EXTRA prize. Come down and speak with your School Banking Coordinator Ariane Mazurak on Thursday morning about what is on offer.
If your child has lost their deposit wallet, please contact your School Banking Co-ordinator Ariane Mazurak for a replacement via the school office.
If you would like to know more about School Banking, please ask for a 2020 School Banking program parent guide from the school office or visit www.commbank.com.au/schoolbanking
