Term One Dates

COVID Update 

Every day you should have been receiving a Covid update indicating cases of infection in our school. Please contact the front office if they are NOT coming through to you.

We ask that families remain vigilant with testing and hygiene procedures for the care and protection of all students and staff. We have seen a steady increase in staff and student case numbers again this week and are strongly encouraging all students to monitor for symptoms and sanitise regularly. We appreciate the rise is concerning and are asking for your cooperation to keep it under control.

Please do not send children to school with ANY flu-like symptoms and alert the front office of any positive cases as soon as you can.

With the lack of available casual staff, there will be the need to split some classes over the next week. All students will be supervised and provided with relevant tasks. Work from home packs are available for all students from the Front Office.

Kids on Keyboard Concert

Mr Binns will host a Term One Concert for parents next Monday 4 April at 12:00pm in the Library.

Showcase of Learning

This year we are pleased to be able to present our Stage 3 Showcase of Learning Assemblies. Our first assembly will be presented by Years Five and Six on the last day of term, Friday 8 April.

The parents and carers assembly will be held at 12.30pm. Please enter the Hall through the hall front doors, and sanitise before taking your seat. 

End of Term

Next Friday, 8 April, is the last day of Term One. 

Term Two will commence for students on Wednesday 27 April.

ANZAC Day

This year Anzac Day falls within our holidays on Monday 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, 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, students return to begin TERM TWO on Wednesday 27 April.

Uniform Matters

As the term draws to a close, uniform pieces accidentally get mixed up between students. Please check all the uniform items you have at home to ensure they belong to your family as we have some students who have items missing which are clearly named.

Please also ensure you 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.
