Dear Parents and Friends of St Mary’s,

Welcome back to Term Two at St Mary’s! We have a nine-week term, and the calendar is beginning to fill up quickly with events and activities, which are exciting as we embrace normality in our day to day interactions. I hope you had an opportunity to relax and enjoy the magnificent weather on offer, especially throughout the Easter weekend.

Yarram was a buzz over the Easter weekend, and the carnival at the the Yarram Recreation Reserve proved to be a fun time for families. I would like to thank Chanel Bowden and Debbie Isemann for their time and effort in making our “Lucky Jars” a huge success. Many hours of collecting items and time given on the day is very much appreciated.

We had a fantastic turnout for the Yarram ANZAC Day March and ceremony on Monday, and the sun shone brightly for us all. I would like to thank all the students who proudly represented St Mary’s and the respectful manner in which they conducted themselves as we paid tribute to the brave women and men who fought so courageously for our country's safety.

We farewelled an excited and somewhat nervous bunch of Grade 5/6 campers ready for three days in Melbourne. They boarded the bus at 6:45 am, making their way to the Traralgon train station, ready for some action-packed days exploring the many sights of Melbourne. I would like to thank Hope, Anthony and Jo for giving up their time to make this camp a memorable experience for the students.

Kind regards,

Maria
