Three-Way Conversations and Interim Reports
You are invited to attend a ten-minute, three-way (parent/student/teacher) conversation on Monday 18th or Tuesday 19th, March. This conversation will allow you to discuss how your child has settled into the new school year, their social development and engagement with learning.
The teacher will also provide you with your child's Interim Report at this meeting. The Interim Report indicates your child's enjoyment and interest in learning new things, ability to ask and answer questions, perseverance with tasks, work habits, ability to avoid distractions, follow school rules and collaborate with others.
Students in Years One to six will attend the meeting with their parents. Kindergarten students are not required to be part of the interview process.
To book a time slot, log into the Compass Parent Portal, where it will show on your dashboard, or call Belinda.

My congratulations to all the students who travelled to Boorowa to compete in the Northern Region Carnival. I was impressed to hear the overall competitive results achieved by our team. My thanks to Mr Edwards for the coordination, management and support of the team.
Special congratulations to our five students who were successful in achieving fine results to enable them to progress on to the Archdiocesan Carnival this week.

Lucas Charnock - Yr 2- 50m Freestyle.

Clean Up Australia Day
On Friday, March 1st, St Mary’s went out into the community to take part in Clean Up Australia Day. This annual event reminds us of our responsibility to respect God’s gift of creation. From the beginning of time, human beings have been tasked with being the ‘keepers of creation’.
Thank you to all of the students and teachers who took part and did their bit.
Book Club
The latest edition of Book Club has been sent home.

The following awards will be presented at our fortnightly morning assembly to held next Friday 15 March at 9.00am
Congratulations to our Award winners for this week:
School Spirit
Sidney Bush- Year 2
Ivy Hewitt- Year 2
Performing Arts Award
Edie Frost for a fantastic start to Performing Arts in 2024
A reminder that this year we have revisited our Award system and are implementing House Awards with a focus on our current School value. This term it is RESPECT.
Individual students will have their points tallied up on Compass and once they reach a target, they earn a School Spirit Certificate that will be presented at a fortnightly Friday morning Assembly. Recipients will be announced in our Newsletter so parents are aware and can be present if they wish.
In the morning I had to get up really early. Then we drove to the bus stop. It was really exciting because we were getting off at a new stop at the High School.
When everyone had arrived we went into the hall. A nice lady told us what we were doing. Then we had an acknowledgement to country. After that, we were split into groups. The colour groups were Green, Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow and Purple. I was in Purple.
Then we all went off to go into our groups. A year seven was asked to go to each group to help out. Our year seven helper was Chelsea. The task was to design a car. First, we got a piece of paper and drew a car. We were allowed to make it as crazy as we wanted. I will tell you, they were all so crazy. Then we went back to our groups and designed the car. After time was up, we started making the cars using only: milk lids, straws, kebab sticks, a hot glue gun, and a hot stick that burns holes into things. Then time was up and we went outside and had a car race. Everyone did so well (our car lost both rounds).
After that, we were all so hungry. People had brought money to use at the canteen and the canteen was packed with good stuff. There were slushies and zooper doopers and juice and many more things. Overall I think it was a pretty successful day.

On the 1st of March, St Mary's Yr 6 and some other schools went to C.H.S at 9:30 - 11:00. I walked there and I saw 2 of my friends, Sam and Levi. We did STEM with Mrs Kemp. We went into groups. I was with Eli, Charlotte, Emmet and McKenzie. We made a car with bottles and some other things like caps, straws, and balloons. We all had different ideas and we struggled to put all the ideas together to design our car. We raced against the other teams. Then we went out to lunch and I got a slushy. We went on the bus and came back to school. It was a great day.
