ST PAUL’S FEAST DAY
The feast of St Paul’s reminds us how our lives were forever changed with our Baptism. We have our new baptized names in the eyes of God, changed like Saul's name was changed to Paul. While many of us cannot recall our baptismal day, every day should be a recommitment for us as children of God to be in His service and to grow in love of Christ every day
Paul called himself the apostle of the Gentiles (people who were not Jews) and he preached the Good News of Jesus to them. That took him to the far ends of the world. Because of Paul, we, too, have received the Christian faith.
Reflection: May our hearts be filled with joy as we honour the great apostle: Paul, the fearless preacher of the church.

SCHOOL NEWS
SEMESTER 1 REPORTS
This year we will be using SEQTA to produce our end of semester reports. An extra component of this system is known as SEQTA ENGAGE. This is an online parent portal, which is able to provide you with your child’s past and present reports.
SEQTA ENGAGE will allow the school to provide your child’s report through paperless means. Parents were previously sent an email to provision their individual account. Once you log in with your chosen login details you will see a menu on the left hand side. The Reports label is the way you can access your child’s semester report. Reports will be made available online today, Thursday 1 July at 4pm. You will be able to see these on any electronic device and print if you wish.
The school web link to access SEQTA ENGAGE is:
https://stpaulsmtl.coneqt-p.cathednet.wa.edu.au/
Please note that parents who are unable to access their child’s report using an electronic device may request a paper copy from the school office.
Parents are responsible for ensuring that they have created a SEQTA ENGAGE account so that they can receive their child’s report online.
All SEQTA related enquiries need to be directed to Mr Jesse Yock at [email protected]
Should you have any queries about your child’s report please make a time to meet with their class teacher upon your return to school next term.
