We accept apologies and give others the opportunity to do the right thing and to have another chance.

Once again, may I thank the many family members who came and watched the Concert last night to see what their amazing children accomplished on stage with the help of our hard working staff. It was wonderful to see the support our children gave each other on such an occasion. 

Mrs O’Malley has organised a Pre-Kindy concert for Monday, so all Pre-Kindy parents are welcome to come in and watch their children perform at 10.30am. I can guarantee it’ll be 10/10 in the cuteness stakes!

We officially farewell our Year Six class at the Graduation Mass on Wednesday at 5.30pm, once again all are welcome to attend.

Your children have been working hard all semester and all this work will be reflected in the report that will arrive in your inbox Thursday.

We would like to invite all families to attend our final assembly on Friday 8 December at 8.45am where our leaving families will be acknowledged. This will be followed by a Thank You morning tea for all parents and volunteers.

God Bless.

Mr H.

We have been very busy in Kindy this term finishing off assessments and practising for the much-anticipated Christmas Concert.  The children were absolutely delighted last week to arrive at Kindy and see it transformed into a Christmas Workshop!  They have become busy little elves, writing lists to Santa, making cards for friends and family, processing toy requests and wrapping presents to put under our tree.

These last few weeks of Kindy will be filled with Christmas spirit and will be a celebration of how much we have all grown and achieved this year.

Each year the Meredin Churches Fraternal co-ordinates the distribution of Christmas hampers to local families or individuals in need and St Mary’s School offers their support by collecting donations for the hampers. In Weeks 7, 8 and 9 we will be collecting donations. Donations can be placed in the baskets that will be in each classroom. Thank you for your support.
