Term One Conclusion
This week marks the end of Term One. I cannot believe how quickly the term has gone!
We have had an action-packed term with many wonderful events for the children to participate in, including a Hockey Gala Day, Sound Bites Picnic, Hockey Coaching, Try It At Trinity Excursion, Crookwell Community Fun Run and our Swimming and Athletics Carnivals.
This term we have also welcomed many guests, mainly senior consultants, into our school from the Catholic Education Office. All of the visitors have remarked about the wonderful 'feel' the school has and they have been impressed with our student's engagement with their learning. I believe one of the reasons we have such a positive school culture is due to the consistent parental and community support we receive.
I would like to thank everyone for your contribution to school life at St Mary's this term. Thank you for supporting your child and our teachers, volunteering your time and assisting with our fundraising events, it is very much appreciated!
I would like to wish everyone a happy, holy and safe Easter. Following are the Easter service times for Crookwell, Binda and Taralga.
- Holy Thursday Mass 7pm (Crookwell)
- Good Friday Stations of the Cross 11am & Mass 3pm (Crookwell & Taralga)
- Easter Saturday Vigil 7pm (Crookwell & Taralga)
- Easter Sunday Mass 9am (Crookwell) & 10.30am (Binda)
Term Two will commence for students on Tuesday 20 April.
Showcase of Learning
I would like to congratulate the Stage Three students, Mrs Walsh, Mrs Picker and Mr O'Kane, on the presentation of their Showcase of Learning Assembly yesterday and today. It was fantastic to see some of their Term One learning come alive on stage. I was impressed by the vast array of talent on show.
Crookwell Community Fun Run
What a glorious day we had for the inaugural Crookwell Community Fun Run. The day was a huge success with approximately 140 people coming to enjoy a run, jog or walk.
I would like to thank Craig Croker, Allison and Brendan Hewitt and Daniel Walsh for the coordination of this event. I would also like to thank all of the families who assisted on the day, gave a donation or had their business sponsor the event. The final calculations are still being done however it looks like the event will have made over $1500.
And the winners were:
Open 10km
- Jaemin Frazer
- Keith Muscat
- Rohan Gamble
Open 5km
- Chris Gay
- Mathew Gay
- Kylie O'Brien
Primary School Child 5km

With special mention to Jaydan Costello who was the first child across the line for the first 5km loop.
ANZAC Day
This year ANZAC Day falls on the first weekend after the school term resumes, on Sunday 25 April. We invite all students to participate in the ANZAC Day events.
This year we have organised for St Mary's students to March and lay wreaths at both the Crookwell and Taralga ANZAC Day services.
Students participating in the Crookwell events are asked to assemble for the March in the RSL car park from 10.40am. The March will move down Goulburn Street to the Memorial Park for the ANZAC Day Commemoration Ceremony. Students remain assembled until this Ceremony concludes.
Our students who wish to participate in the Taralga March and Commemorative Service are asked to assemble at the Northern end of the Main Street, near Taralga Public School at 2.30pm. The children will March down the street to the cenotaph for the Commemorative Service and wreath-laying. After this point, our assembled group will disperse prior to the Memorial Hall program.
Students are asked to come dressed in their full winter uniform.
It would be wonderful to see many of our students at either of these special ceremonies.
Please note, in NSW Monday 27 April is NOT a public holiday, as previously published.
Uniform Matters
As the term draws to a close, uniform accidentally gets mixed up between students. Please check all the uniform you have at home to ensure it belongs to your family as we have some students who have items missing which are clearly named.
Please also ensure to have all your children's uniform labelled.
Next term the students are to wear the full winter uniform, however, a two-week leeway is given if the weather is still warm enough for the summer uniform.
In preparation for the cooler months, you might like to order our school coat, which is a warm bottle green parka style coat, from our Uniform Shop. No other coats will be permitted, however, bottle green gloves and beanies may be purchased elsewhere.
Some other reminders about our school uniform- hair accessories must be in the school colours only, earrings must be sleepers and studs and no nail polish is to be worn to school.
