Haircuts Appropriate for School
Thank you to our parents for sending their children to school well-groomed and looking smart in their school uniforms. Please be reminded that haircuts for school need to be appropriate. The uniform policy clearly states the following requirements:
- For health reasons, when a child’s hair is of collar length or longer it must be tied back off the face.
Long fringes should be clipped back off the face. The fringe should not be below the eyebrows. (boys and girls). - Colouring or tinting of hair is not acceptable on a temporary or permanent basis.
No patterns, etc can be cut into the hair. - A number 1 haircut or shorter is not permitted.
Thank you for supporting our uniform and grooming expectations.

Cross Country
With most PE lessons in the last few weeks having been in the undercover area due to rain, we were blessed with fantastic weather for our cross-country carnival. All students should be very proud of themselves for not only completing the run but setting themselves goals and challenging themselves throughout the run and in the lead up while training. Students should be commended with the outstanding display of sportsmanship by all, with everyone cheering for their peers and supporting them as they crossed the finish line. This year also saw the highest participation rate from students which is fantastic to see everyone being involved for their faction and having a go.
Congratulations to our individual champions.

We are currently focusing our enrolment efforts on Pre-Kindy for 2021. Please encourage family members, friends and neighbours to consider Matthew Gibney Catholic Primary School for Pre-Kindy.
