The school will be celebrating Harmony Day on Thursday March 21st. Children are welcome to come to school wearing clothes reflecting their cultural background or wearing orange.

The whole school will be gathering together in the undercover area at 8:45am for an assembly showcasing a piece of work that has been completed in class to commemorate the day. Parents are welcome to attend this assembly.

On Thursday the Kindy to Year Two students were lucky enough to enjoy a visit from 11 medical students from Notre Dame University. The medical students conducted a “Teddy Bears Hospital” where they treated the children's teddies for a variety of ailments. The Teddy Bear Hospital is a community program that was developed to provide children with positive health care experiences, ease fears or anxiety associated with doctors or hospital visits, promote health and wellbeing and increase health awareness. Everyone had a wonderful day and all the teddies went home feeling much better!!

St Mary's School is part of the "Containers for Change" program. Please see the poster below for all the details. If you require a green bag to collect your cans, these are available from Mrs Riethmuller at the school.
