St Mary's Bulletin

I’d like to extend my thanks to the Wilson family for answering the SOS call to move the Balance beams on the oval in such a timely manner, THANK YOU!

Sometimes I forget what great parenting, careful pre-school prep and some great teaching can do.

Anyone who was at the All Saints Mass yesterday would have seen an amazing display of confidence and reading ability from the Pre Primary children during Mass. Thank you Father Phillip for leading the Mass and well done Miss Downsborough and Mrs Cooper on your preparation of the children.

Just a reminder that pre-orders for the new skorts with the bike shorts underneath need to be finalised by this Sunday the 2nd of November via Quickcliq. Please ensure you are selecting "Maroon skorts with inbulit bike shorts". If you are using your phone when ordering you may need to turn your phone sideways (landscape mode) to ensure you are seeing all the options. 

Thank you to all the parents who attended our meeting on Tuesday night. As I keep saying, the success of the Fete underlines the amazing support we have here at St Mary’s from not only our parents but from the wider community. There are a lot of exciting things heading our students’ way, thank you to all for your continued good work.

A big thank you to the P&F for donating $500 to the Science/Design and Technology Learning Area. Some of this money has been used to purchase new Electricity Kits, which the Year 5/6 class have been enjoying.

God Bless!!
