Principal's Message
Dear St. Augustine Parents,
Our 50 days of Easter celebration continues as we begin the month of Mary. To extend our Easter celebration and this blessed month into your homes, may I suggest that you say a Hail Mary as part of your Grace Before Meals when you gather together as a family at the dinner table or encourage your children to include it in their daily prayers. Can your family say a Hail Mary every day in the month of May?
I would like to express my gratitude for our entire community. If I don't say it enough, THANK YOU! Thank you for the grace and love and support and determination you have all shown over the last year. Thank you, parents, students, teachers, education assistants, support staff, guardians, and caregivers! You have been and continue to be amazing!
The month of May is packed with many activities. Track & Field season is in full swing with practices every day and track meets throughout the month. Thank you to all staff and parents who made badminton happen last month! Grades 6 and 7 classes have their 4-day Outdoor Education stay at Camp Jubiliee this month, and our Kindergarten to Grade 4 classes will be celebrating "outdoor ed" activities back at the school, and Grade 5s will enjoy a day trip to Camp Jubilee! We also have our school musical ANNIE! Stay tuned as your teachers and staff continue to plan and communicate what this penultimate month of the year will look like.
Happy Easter and wishing all mothers a very Happy Mothers’ Day, as well! God bless!
Mr. Yaptinchay

On Thursday, May 7 St. Augustine School presents “Annie: The Musical”. Annie is a timeless tale of optimism, hope, and determination. Despite living a hard life at the Municipal Orphanage under the cruel Miss Hannigan, Annie retains a positive attitude, believing that "The sun'll come out tomorrow". Her luck changes when she is chosen to spend Christmas with the wealthy industrialist Oliver Warbucks. The story follows Annie as she wins over the cold-hearted businessman, searches for her birth parents, and foils the evil plans of Miss Hannigan and her brother, Rooster. Annie: The Musical is the captivating play packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and an unforgettable performance from a cast and crew made up of our Grades 6 and 7 students! You will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl full of optimism and hope!
