Three-Way Conversations and Interim Reports
You are invited to attend a ten-minute three-way (parent/student/teacher) conversation on Monday 8 or Tuesday 9 March. This conversation will provide you with an opportunity to discuss how your child has settled into the new school year, their social development and engagement with learning.
At this meeting, the teacher will also provide you with your child's Interim Report, and Personal Plan, for children accessing additional support programs. The Interim Report gives you an indication of your child's enjoyment and interest in learning new things, ability to ask and answer questions, perseverance with tasks, work habits, ability to avoid distractions, follow school rules and collaborate with others.
If you have any concerns before these Three-Way Conversations please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher.
To book a time slot please use the link below or respond to the link in the email you will receive today. If you have trouble booking through the digital Session Keeper please contact Belinda. Likewise, if none of the appointment times suit, please contact Belinda to arrange a more suitable time.

Congratulations to the St Mary's team of swimmers who competed at Queanbeyan last week. Thank you to Sally Croker for her team coordination and to our parent helpers who jumped in as the St Mary's timekeepers on the day.
I would like to congratulate the following six swimmers who are now heading to Narooma for the Archdiocesan Swimming Championships on 1 March;
Sethan Grove, Bridie Croker, Andrew Lawson, George Skelly, Elkie Storrier and Charlotte Bensley.
P&F Meeting & AGM
Thank you to all the parents who came along to the P & F AGM and General Meeting on Tuesday night. Once again a strong P & F Executive team has been formed.
Congratulations to Daniel Walsh who has been re-elected to the position of President. We also welcome back Allison Hewitt, who has taken on the position of Treasurer, and Mellissa Haynes, who has again accepted the role of Secretary. We also welcome Craig Croker, Rechell Naughton Catherine Culley, Reane Strode and Jo Grove to the Executive Committee. Our sub-committee coordinators are James McCormack- Cattle Committee and Daria Lawson- Tuckshop.
At this meeting, classes were allocated a fundraising event for the year. (See 'From the P&F President' in this newsletter.) You will receive information about your class event, from the coordinator, as the year progresses.
Thank you to all our parents for your consistent support of St Mary’s P & F events.
Local Excursion Consent
This afternoon you will receive a Local Excursion Consent Form. This general consent form allows your child/children to take part in local excursions. Examples of a 'Local Excursion' could include going to the showground for our Cross Country Carnival or Todkill park for our Athletics Carnival, a visit to the Senior Citizens centre, planting with Landcare at Kiamma Creek, and the like.
Please complete and return the form to school as soon as you are able.
Medical Action Plans
If your child has an Anaphylaxis or Asthma Action Plan, please ensure Belinda has the most up to date copy.
A "Consent to Dispense Medicine" form must also be completed for students who require regular medicine. If you haven't completed one of these, please see Belinda or go to the Parent Page of our website to find the form.
All medicine must be kept at the office, not in student's bags please.
