Welcome to St Clare's Parish School, Tully
Saint Clare's is a vibrant community of over 200 students in Tully – Far North Queensland. Our school prides itself on the wonderful reputation that it enjoys in the local community and the dedicated and caring staff that work with us.
Saint Clare's school is experiencing exciting times at present. We have recently added a new technology room, administration block and built a roof over our basketball court. These new buildings have allowed us to cater for the growing needs of the community, and to allow us to provide greater service to our students and the community in general.
Saint Clare's provides an excellent education for its students. Staff pride themselves in catering for individuals and their diverse needs. We enjoy a very close link with the church, as classes celebrate Mass regularly and enjoy class visits from our Parish Administrator, Fr Karel Duivenvoorden.
Thank you for taking the time to tour our website and I invite you to contact the school should you have any queries. Greg Hoare - Principal

Latest News & Events
SCHOOLS EDUCATION TEAM
A new committee has been formed in the Parish called the Schools
Education Team. This group is made up of representatives of both
schools in the parish - St Clare's and St John's in Silkwood.
Members of this committee include Fr Karel, both school principals
(Andrew Maley and myself), parent representatives from both
schools and a representative from the Parish Finance committee.
Our parent representatives on this committee are Andrew Jackson
and Nerissa Camilleri. This committee's role is to look at school
budgets and to discuss the strategic priorities of each school.
ST CLARE'S SCHOOL BAND
St Clare's offers a voluntary Instrumental Music Program
to students in years 3 to 7. This program is coordinated
by Good Counsel College in Innisfail. During this term a
select group of students from this program will be invited
to become part of a school band. Cameron Nicholls, the
Instrumental music teacher, will coordinate this band.
There will be no extra costs involved for these students
but they will be expected to attend practice sessions
each week. It is hoped that this group will then be able to
perform for the school later in the year.
WELLBEING CONFERENCE
A big thank you to our 9 Mums who travelled to Cairns last
Thursday for the Wellbeing Conference. From all reports it
was a great day out and everyone felt they came away with
something useful for their own wellbeing.
SCHOOL STRATEGIC PLAN AND ANNUAL GOALS
Following last year's school renewal a five year strategic plan has
been developed for the school. This strategic plan is based upon
not only the results of the school renewal but also upon the
strategic plan for the Cairns diocese. Click here to download the Strategic Plan for 2012 to 2016.
As part of this strategic plan an Annual Plan has been
developed for the school.

JUST4KIDS
On July 11th, Naudia Liddle from the St. Clare's Prep
classroom will be participating in the Just4kids Motor trail
from Cardwell to Cape York. The Just4kids Cape York
Safari is a 15 day tag a long with a difference. Apart from
all the fun, laughter, music and dirt track driving, there is
a very serious side to the Just4kids Motor Trail. Entrants
and supporters raise funds through various functions
prior to the event. These funds are then distributed along
the route to children and their families who need a
helping hand.
At the moment the Cassowary Chicks are selling
cookbooks with lots of yummy recipes and are raffling off
a quilt all the way from Canada! Cookbooks can be
purchased from Melanie Liddle for a cost of $10.00 or
$1.00/ticket for the quilt raffle.
We also have a cent sale on June 16th at the Mission
Beach State School with over 100 prizes to be won.
Doors open at 11:30 am and the first draw starts at
1:30. $2.00 admission will be charged with bottomless
tea/coffee and smoko. Sausage sizzle and cold drinks
will be for sale. Hope to see you all there.
Thank you for your support.
Melanie & Shannon and our 5 lovely children.
WOOLWORTHS
EARN & LEARN 2012
St Clare's is once again participating in the Woolworths
Earn and Learn Promotion. If shopping at Woolworths you
can collect stickers from the checkout operator and place
them on sticker cards. There will be one sticker for every

this week. Once completed you can place your sticker
card in the collection box in the front office at the school.
There are lots more sticker cards available at the front office
for anyone who would like to take more. The program
commences on May 9th and closes on July 1st.

boxes of maths equipment.
