We accept apologies and give others the opportunity to do the right thing and to have another chance.
Thank you once again for being patient with the unplanned change. As previously mentioned, I am on L.S.L for the final two weeks of school and Mrs Riethmuller will be Acting Principal in my absence.
Wednesday was St Mary’s annual Life Link Day where we all had the chance to wear our Jim Jams to school. Lots of fun was had comparing Jammies while raising money for those less fortunate than ourselves.
We wish all our students who are about to be confirmed into the Catholic Church the best for this Sunday. I would like to express my gratitude to both Mrs Mac and Father Philip for their guidance over recent months in preparing the children for this auspicious event in their lives. The Confirmation Mass will take place at 10.30am, everyone is welcome to come along to support the children on this special day.
We would like to wish Tahlia Gillet all the best moving forward as she leaves us here at St Mary’s to head on to the next stage of her career. The Year 5/6 class will miss you and our thoughts and prayers go with you.
Our amazing P&F parents have been quietly working behind the scenes, meeting with various manufacturer’s and companies preparing for their next significant project. More info will follow in coming months. I continue to be very grateful for the support both the CSAC and P&F extend to me and the amount of work they put in to make the lives of our students that much better.
The students speak positively about the new Student Leadership model and show pride in their leadership and appreciate the opportunities to be role models through the committees.
God Bless

What a wonderful and busy term we’ve had in Pre-Kindy! One of the highlights has been learning about Creation and how God made the world in 7 days. Each week, we’ve explored a different part of the story and the children have enjoyed learning about God’s amazing work.
To help us retell the story, each child has been working on their very own Creation Book. These books are filled with collaged elements and a simple poem to match each day of Creation. It’s been wonderful watching them take pride in their work and create something special to take home.
We’ve also been focusing on building our fine motor skills, with a particular emphasis on cutting. Our little learners have been practising how to hold scissors correctly and are gaining confidence with snipping—learning to make small, controlled cuts in paper. This is such an important foundation for their future cutting, writing, and hand coordination skills. It’s been lovely to see their determination and excitement as they practise this new skill!
We’re so proud of everything the children are achieving, and we can’t wait to see how they continue to grow and learn as the year unfolds.
Yesterday, 32 students travelled to Northam to proudly represent St Mary’s in the West Coast Fever Wheatbelt Goldfields Primary School Cup. Both of our Year 5/6 teams took out the top spot in their divisions, and our enthusiastic Year 3/4 team were runners-up in their division. If there had been a prize for the best team chant, the year 3/4 team would have claimed that too!
A huge thank you to our wonderful parents who stepped up as coaches, umpires, scorers, and team managers to make the day possible. Our students displayed excellent sportsmanship, team spirit and camaraderie throughout the carnival—well done to all!
