Book Week - Reading is My Secret Power
It was wonderful to see our students dressed up for Book Week on Tuesday. Thank you for your support with preparing your child's costume, we certainly have some creative parents!
The students spent the morning block participating in rotating infants and primary activities focused on some of the shortlisted books.
After lunch the students paraded in the Hall, sharing their book character with our large audience.
Thank you to Mrs Hewitt for organising our Book Week activities and parade and to all of our teachers, students and audience for the enthusiastic response.
Parish Support
I would like to thank St Mary's Parish for their monetary support, over many years. It was brought to my attention at the last School Board meeting that the Parish has now made their final payment for the loan that was taken out to pay for the Library, Computer Laboratory, Year 6, Kindergarten and toilet block extension. This work was completed in 2004.
Thank you!
The School Explorers
Tomorrow our final School Explorers session will take place. Most of our classes and teachers have had the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities with our preschool participants over the past two terms.
This year we have had a wonderful roll-up, with up to twenty-five children taking part in some sessions.
The School Explorers Program gives the preschool-aged children a chance to experience Primary School life. They participate in activities that encompass technology, maths, literacy, art, craft, science and sport in a variety of places around the school, with support of different classes and teachers. It gives them a taste of what is to come and an understanding that St Mary's is an inclusive school.
Scholarships
Each year the Country Women's Association of NSW offers Education Scholarships to assist with secondary schooling and the area of the Arts. Application forms can be collected from the school office and need to be submitted to the CWA State Office by 30 September.
