Swimming Lessons

Well done to our brave PP-2 students who have faced some chilly conditions in the pool this week. Whilst it has been a smooth start, lets cross our fingers and hope for some warmer conditions in the days ahead.

Music Assembly

Mrs Munns and her music students have been practising furiously over the past couple of weeks for their Assembly performance. Mrs Riethmuller and I are in Esperance for a meeting so we’ll have to watch some videos to catch up on the performances. Best of luck to you all.

Mass

The Year 4/5 students attended the Parish Mass this morning at 9am. Thank you once again Father Philip for your patience and guidance of us all.

Our Year One/Two students will be reading at this Sunday's Mass at 10.30am. Please come along to support them and join in the Mass.

Viterra & St Mary’s School Merredin P&F

Viterra and the St. Mary’s Primary School Merredin P & F have agreed to a sponsorship program for the coming season and into the future. The Viterra Sponsorship Program commenced in 2010 as a way of helping WA grain growing communities. Since its inception, Viterra has donated over $1 million to WA grain growing sporting clubs & community groups. Viterra is very proud of what the program has achieved over this period. We are very pleased to be able to contribute to WA grain growing communities that support us, knowing that our sponsorship goes some way towards the viability of rural WA clubs and their communities – it also gives growers a sense that they too have assisted with their club’s finances. We appreciate any support you can offer Viterra by spreading the word amongst your members and the community.

Here is how it works:

Viterra will donate $0.20 per tonne to the St. Mary’s Primary School Merredin P & F for every tonne of grain delivered against contracts sold to Viterra.

At the time of contracting, the grower or their consultant MUST identify that they wish the contract to be a part of the sponsorship agreement with the St. Mary’s Primary School Merredin P & F. Every 12 months we will forward your club the funds accumulated against the contracts covered by the agreement.

For contract pricing of any grain, or if you wish to subscribe to the Viterra ‘sms’ or ‘email’ pricing service, contact Rob Haddrill, Tim Giumelli or Matt Stenhouse in the Viterra WA office.
