Principal Talk with Mrs Lowe
Building Works
I am very pleased to share with you that our building works commenced on Monday, as forecast. This week the fence has been constructed and clear-out has commenced. The new carpet tiles have been saved and will be used in another area of the school. This is certainly a very exciting time for the whole St Mary's School and Parish Community. The plans for the building works can be viewed in the School Office foyer.
Thank you!
I would like to thank Catherine, Dave and Georgina Culley for organising the division and delivery of P&F sausages and steak. The bacon will be defrosted and distributed at a later date. Your effort is very much appreciated!
Thank you to Reane Strode for organising the Kindergarten 100 Club Fundraiser. If you haven't purchased a number yet this can be done on QKR!. The winner will be drawn on Friday - stay tuned.
School Access
From now on, there will be no front step access to the Office. Those who need to see Belinda or me will need to come through the Old Hall and use the internal stairs.
Morning temperature checks will continue in the Old Hall. Students will enter through the main doors and exit through the side door. In the afternoon the bus lines will be held in the Old Hall. If you are waiting to collect your child, and it is not raining or too cold, in the interest of maintaining social distancing for adults, we ask you to please wait outside, either near the library entrance or Mary statue. We will send your child to you.
Please remember that whilst we are faced with COVID-19, we request that all adult access is limited in the school grounds. This means that unless you have a need to visit the office or have a pre-arranged appointment, we kindly ask that you do not come into the school grounds. This is for the health and safety of our students and staff. Thank you for respecting this request.
Lost Property and Naming of Clothes
Please ensure that all pieces of clothing and other items sent to school are well named so we can return pieces to their owners quickly.
