Three-Way Conversations and Interim Reports
You are invited to attend a ten-minute face-to-face or telephone three-way (parent/student/teacher) conversation next week, Monday 14 or Tuesday 15 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 their engagement with learning.
At this meeting, the teacher will also provide you with your child's Interim Report. The Interim Report gives you an indication of your child's: enjoyment of and interest in learning new things, ability to ask and answer questions, perseverance with tasks, work habits, ability to avoid distractions, ability to follow school rules and collaborate with others.
Students in Years One - Six are to attend the meeting with their parents. Kindergarten students are not required to be part of the interview process.
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. 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.

At the end of Term Two, you will receive your child's Academic Report.
School Cross Country Carnival
Our Cross Country Carnival will be held next Friday 18 March at the Crookwell Showground. The students walk with their teachers and support staff to the Showground to commence at 11.00am. Students have morning tea at school, prior to leaving. The last event is around 1.00pm, enabling students to walk back to school for lunch. This means that the students only need to carry a drink bottle to the showground. There will be no Tuckshop available on that day.
All students participate in our Cross Country Carnival, competing over the following distances:
5/6/7 Years - 600m
8 Years - 1km
9/10 Years - 2km
11/12 Years - 3km
A full program of events is available in our School Sports section of this newsletter.
Tour De Cure
On Friday 18 March the Tour De Cure Signature crew will ride through Crookwell to raise vital funds to support the doctors and scientists who have dedicated their lives to uncovering a cure for cancer. The funds raised support the researchers, surgeons and clinicians who dedicate their lives to finding a cure.
The tour occurs over nine days and the participants travel from Geelong to Canberra, covering a total of 1355km from 10-20 March.
It is hoped that the cyclists will ride past St Mary's and we will line our students up to cheer them on.
If you would like to send in a donation for this course it will be given to Kent Bestwick from Bathurst, one of the cyclists, to help him achieve his fundraising goal. Please send donations marked in an envelope or zip lock bag prior to, or on, Friday 18 March.

Local Excursion Consent
Last week you received 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.
if you have not done so already, please complete and return the form to school as soon as you are able.
Lego
If you have some old lego at home you no longer need or use, we would appreciate it to top up the lego table for the children to play with.
