This is a week where we take a moment to reflect upon the importance of caring for our children and ensuring they are allowed to grow and develop in supportive and nurturing environments.

This year the theme is Every Conversation Matters, Shifting Conversation to Action, driving a stronger national focus on shifting conversations into meaningful action.

Conversations are a starting point for sparking new ideas and encouraging reflection, but real change happens when those conversations translate into practical steps that create safer environments and stronger support for children and families. National Child Protection Week helps turn these conversations into action and extends beyond the week itself as a year-round campaign.

National Child Protection Week brings people across Australia together to strengthen support systems, prevent harm and help children grow up safe and supported. By shifting conversations to action, we can build communities where every child not only feels heard but also experiences real safety, care and protection.

Thursday, 10^th September is R U OK? Day but we know that people around us go through life’s ups and downs every day which is why it is important to keep the conversation going all year round.

A lot can happen in a year, a month, a week.  Whether it’s your friend, family member, colleague, partner, or teammate, the people you care about value trust, a sense of genuine care, and someone who really listens to them without judgement so, if someone is on your mind, trust your instinct and start a conversation.

By having regular, meaningful conversations we normalise talking about what’s really going on, so when the people in your world find themselves struggling, they know you’re someone they can talk to. So, whilst R U OK? Day on Thursday September 10 is the National Day of Action, you are being encouraged to ask R U OK? Any Day of the year because a conversation could change a life.

As part of Catholic Education Western Australia’s ongoing commitment to supporting schools in the delivery of Consent and Respectful Relationships Education (CRRE), CEWA is seeking feedback from parents and carers about their information and support needs in this area.

The survey will:
• Gather information about parents’ current understanding of consent and respectful relationships education.
• Identify topics parents would value further information or support with.
• Inform the development of future parent-facing resources and engagement opportunities.
• Support CEWA and schools to strengthen partnerships with families around student wellbeing and healthy relationships.

The survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete and responses are anonymous.

As part of an exciting new chapter for our Early Years’, our Pre-Kindy and Kindergarten Co-Horts will be introduced to new branding from 2027.  This updated branding will also feature on the Early Years’ uniform range and our School Values.

To support families during this transition, the current uniform will remain acceptable throughout 2027.  This means children may still wear either the current or new style of t-shirt during the 2027 school year.

Please note, that from the beginning of 2028, all Pre-Kindy and Kindy students will be required to wear the new uniform style.

To assist families with this change:

• The new style uniform will be available to purchase from Tara Uniforms from December 2026
• Existing uniforms will be available to purchase through the Admin Office at a clearance price of 3 shirts for $30 *While stocks last*

Enrolments for students starting Kindy in 2028 (born July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024) are now open!  Please ensure you complete an “Expression of Interest” to secure your place!

Over the past couple of years, Ken White has been generously offering his time to support our Year 4 students with their times tables.  We’re now excited to grow this wonderful initiative and invite WCPS Grandparents to join Ken’s Club 2026 –  helping students build confidence and master their times tables!

If you would like to be part of this rewarding program, please email your expression of interest to: admin@wcps.wa.edu.au

We also ask families to take extra care when parking and manoeuvring in surrounding streets and in the Basketball Courts.  We understand that pick-up time can be very busy, and we appreciate your cooperation in reinforcing safe practices. The safety of our school community is our highest priority.
