Welcome back!

Welcome back to Term 2! We hope this message finds you well and that you had a restful and enjoyable break.

We are excited to start this new term with our students and continue to provide a safe and engaging learning environment. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to supporting your child's growth and academic success.

We have planned various student activities and events this term, including excursions, guest speakers, and sporting events. We encourage you to stay up-to-date with our school newsletter and calendar so you know when these events are on.

St Mary's school newsletter will now be published every SECOND Thursday. We understand life is busy and we don't want to make lives busier. Important dates and upcoming events will be communicated via email and our social media sites on the off week. Please make it your job to stay informed of what is happening at your child's school.

We understand that some students struggle to transition back to school after a break. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher, our Classroom Support Teacher Rachael Croker, or me.

We look forward to working with you this term to ensure your child has a successful and fulfilling experience.

Special Welcome

This week we welcomed Isobel and her family to the St Mary's school community. Isobel has begun to settle into Year 4 with Mrs White and her new friends. We wish the Tran family a happy and productive time with us.

Awards

Last term we trialled a different student award system based on accumulated points for each student. This term we are returning to our previous award system where each class will be nominating students for individual progress. Award Assemblies will be every second Friday beginning Week Two.

Term Two Lunchtime Clubs

This term we have some interesting choices for our students. They are planned and organised by Staff and Senior students.

Coding Club

Drama Club

Indigenous Art Club

Model Plane Club

Board Games Club

Curiosity Club

Origami Club

Compass App

A reminder that we are utilising the Compass App for communication, absence notifications as well as excursion and sporting consents. There is a link to the 'Change to Travel Arrangements' there as well.

Please note we are required to include a cut off time and date for our organisational purposes. Your cooperation with this will help us immensely.

If you are having any problems with the app, please see Belinda.

ANZAC Day 2024

Thank you and congratulations to all of our students who participated in the 2024 ANZAC Day Commemorative Services.

St Mary's had a large contingent at the Crookwell, Taralga, and Grabben Gullen services. 

By marching and participating in the commemorative services, our students demonstrated a deep respect for the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. 

I want to thank all of you who participated, you have made our school and community proud, and we are grateful for your contributions.
