Thank you to all the family members who attended Family Friday this morning, the children love having you visit.

REMINDER: We have our Winter Carnival next Thursday the 25th of June for students in Year 3-6. Mrs Crees requires any lunch orders for this event by 12pm Tuesday the 23rd of June.

Our Special Events Ministry will be conducting a weekly fundraiser to support Telethon. Each Friday they will have a "Take a Guess" competition, where you can take a guess of the numbers of objects in the jar. There will be a different guessing item each week and a different prize every week for the winner.  We look forward to your support and to seeing how much we can raise for Telethon!!

The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) is the Government body responsible for Education in Australia. They have indicated that Catholic Schools must report in the same way that Government Schools have been reporting. This means that in the upcoming Semester One Report, there will be one overall grade given to your child per subject. The Report will also now contain one large comment that will hold a Religion, English, Maths and General comment within. If you have any questions surrounding these changes, please don’t hesitate to call me.

Semester One reports for students in Pre-Primary to Year Six will be sent out via SEQTA Engage in Week Eleven. 

Please see the following link to ensure you have access to Engage -

You may need to reset your password. Alternatively, if you do not already have a SEQTA Engage account, please email: admin@stmarysmerredin.wa.edu.au and a welcome email will be sent to you so you can create a login. Welcome emails were sent out to new families and the families of Pre-Primary students who do not have an older sibling on Wednesday. Please check your emails (and junk emails) for these and follow the directions to set up your SEQTA account. Please note, the welcome emails are only valid for one week and then they expire.  

If you have any questions, please email the Admin team. 

What did the tiger say when he caught his tail in the lawnmower?

Students from Pre-Primary to Year 6 an enjoyed an exciting football clinic that was packed with fun, energy and plenty of friendly competition. Throughout the sessions, students enthusiastically participated in a range of skill-based activities and games, showing great teamwork and sportsmanship.

The competition was fierce, with everyone eager to get their hands on the prize footballs up for grabs! It was fantastic to see so many students involved, giving their best effort and having fun along the way. A big thank you to Mr Reid for once again running a fantastic football clinic. The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are already looking forward to the next one!
