School Fees

We are committed to making our educational offerings affordable and available to all families, regardless of their background and financial means.

And so, we rely on a contribution from families, in the form of school fees, to allow us to offer high quality educational services.

Our annual fees include all tuition, books, stationery and excursions etc.  The only additional cost for families would be uniform, overnight camps and optional extra-curricular activities.  

Payment of school fees can be tailored to suit individual family circumstances, and can be paid either weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or annually, via direct debit, cash, cheque, credit card, Bpay, Centrepay and direct deposit. Generous remissions are offered for low income families, and discounts are applied for each subsequent sibling enrolled with us.

If we are your choice of school but you feel that the fees are a concern for your family's budget, please phone, email or see us in person and we will work with you to make our school a genuine and affordable option for your child.

We will not deny an enrolment based on a family's stress to not be able to meet fee commitments, however, we do ask that families make some contribution towards fees, as they are able.  In these situations, we can arrange a confidential meeting between the parents/guardian and our Principal and Business Manager.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about fees or enrolment at Our Lady of Hope School.

A Word from the Principal

Dear Families

A genuine welcome to the 2024 academic year! 

I congratulate our families for preparing their children for a positive start to the school year. The children are wearing their uniforms proudly and demonstrating a wonderful approach to their learning in our classrooms and outdoor areas. It was terrific to see many of our families take up the invitation in Week 0 to meet with their child's teacher/s and commence the process of building a solid working partnership between home and school. 

The first week has enabled our staff to introduce our children to the 'OLOH Way'. Teachers have explicitly taught our children the 4 core values and will continue to reinforce these during the year ahead. We seek the support of our families to discuss these elements with your children and encourage them to share how they are applying them in their school day... and at home too! I am grateful for the leadership provided by our Positive Behaviour Intervention & Support (PBIS) Team and Mrs Sarah Alford (Leader of Wellbeing) for leading our school community through this process. It is our desire that we will achieve a more consistent approach across our school in promoting our values and holding our children and ourselves accountable for their actions at school. 

I am grateful to be abe to introduce our school family to our Acting Deputy Principal for 2024, Mrs Anne-Marie Platten. Anne-Marie has quickly immersed herself into the role and is enjoying engaging with staff, children and families. Below is a detailed profile of Anne-Marie that will provide our community with a more indepth introducton. 

I look forward to continuing to work with our families as we stay united in our commitment to enable our children to develop:

  • A love of God
  • A love of others
  • A love of learning
  • A love of self

May God continue to be within us & amongst us in 2024 as we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of our beautiful school!

Kind regards

Paul 

Welcome Mrs Anne-Marie Platten

Dear Families and Community Members,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Anne-Marie Platten and I am very excited to be joining the Our Lady of Hope School Community as Acting Deputy Principal for 2024. I have moved from St Patrick’s School, Mansfield Park where I have held the position of Assistant Principal Religious Identity and Mission (APRIM) for the past 10 years.

I have worked in Catholic Education for many years and began my teaching career at Mary MacKillop Memorial School, Penola. My involvement in Catholic Education South Australia as a teacher, Religious Education Coordinator and APRIM has seen me work in a number of South Australian schools. My husband, Chris, is also involved in Catholic Education and we have 2 sons, Nicholas and Jack.

I have already experienced a very warm welcome from the staff, students and community members that I have met and am looking forward to getting to know all members of the school community as the new school year begins. I encourage you to come and introduce yourselves with your child, or children, as this will help me to connect families and students and begin to learn everyone’s names.

Wishing you all a wonderful 2024 and looking forward to working with you at Our Lady of Hope School.

Anne-Marie Platten


A Student's Prayer for a New School Year

Lord Jesus, I ask for Your help as I begin this new school year.
Allow me to experience Your presence in the many blessings You put before me.
Open my eyes to the new challenges and exciting opportunities that this
new school year brings.
Open my heart and mind to new friends and new teachers.
Give me a generous spirit to be enthusiastic with my studies and courage
to accept new opportunities.
Help me to be attentive to my teachers and let me experience Your
presence in my new friends.
Jesus, inspire me to do my best this year!
Amen

Religious Dimension

Shrove Tuesday 

Next Tuesday our children will participate in an ancient Christian tradition called Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday). This is the day prior to the beginning of Lent (Ash Wednesday). Shrove Tuesday has been celebrated by Christians around the world for over 1000 years. It gets its name from the word 'shrive', which means to absolve someone of their sins after they confess to them. Traditionally, Christians always wanted to be absolved of their sins before the important season of Lent. Homes would aim to remove items from their kitchen that they would exclude from their diet until after Easter. Often, this resulted in pancakes being  the staple food to use up these ingredients. 

Consequently, our children will receive a pancake prior to recess next Tuesday. (Gluten free options and egg allergies have been accounted for). Many thanks to the parents who have volunteered to make over 300 pancakes! 

Ash Wednesday

After we celebrate Shrove Tuesday, we commence the journey towards Easter on Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. It is a time when many Christians prepare themselves for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, sacrifice, and self discipline. For many this means either giving up something or taking on something… both with the intent of bringing ourselves closer to God. We use the next 40 days to examine our hearts and make some necessary changes to the way we perceive our connection with our God. Easter is a big deal. It represents the foundation of Christ’s Church. It’s a good thing to prepare ourselves for this most important celebration and the hope the resurrection provides to us on a daily basis. 

Families are welcome to join us for our Ash Wednesday Mass on Wednesday 14h February at 11.30am in the Parish Centre. 

Family Mass

Families are invited to join our Parish for our Family Mass on Sunday 3rd March at 9am in the Parish Centre. We are blessed to belong to the TTG Parish of St David's and Our Lady of Hope who generously support our school spiritualy and physicaly. 

Learning Dimension

Student Agency 

During Week 0 our staff travelled to Aberfoyle Park to join with staff from The Nativity and St Joseph's Ottoway, to engage further with Lee Crockett. Lee is guiding our staff through the implementation of the Futures Focused Learning Network to enable us to release the responsibility for our children to build their capacity as life long learners and agents of their learning. We are committed to this project for the next three years and look forward to witnessing the increasing independence and motivation of our children to be highly engaged in their learning journey. We look forward to sharing the strategies that will assist us in achieving our destination. 

ICT - Yr 3-6 ICT User Agreement

Our Yr 3 - Yr 6 families should have completed the necessary ICT User Agreements that have been distributed via SZapp. This will enable your children to use their laptops and other devices at school safely and responsibly. Please ensure that these are completed prior to Monday 12th February so that your child's online participation in classroom activities can be permitted. 

Swimming Program Yr 3 - Yr 6 

It has been wonderful to witness the enthusiastic participation of our children in the Yr 3 - Yr 6 Swimmig Program this week. Thank you to families for ensuring that your child has packed the necessary items to successfully engage in the activities. I commend our staff for maintaining a learning focus amidst the significant alterations to timetables and schedules to accommodate the needs of our children. A brilliant team effort! 

Administrative Dimension

Uniform Review

Our Uniform Review Committee have undertaken the initial consultation with our school family and have arranged to meet with three uniform suppliers early in 2024 to discuss alternative uniform options that we can then share with our community. Some people are inquiring about the potential timeframe for any modification/change to our existing uniform. We wish to reassure our community that any alteration won't be likely to occur until early/mid 2025 as we discern styles, fabrics, prices etc. When any decision is made, a transition period will be established to ensure families are not left holding existing items. Thank you for your patience as we aim to undertake a thorough investigation of how we can ensure our uniform reflects student pride in their school and allows them to be active and comfortable when undertaking  indoor and outdoor activities.
