Dear Parents and Friends of St Mary’s,

Thank you to the staff and students for managing the incident regarding the stranger danger yesterday morning. All child safety protocols were implemented as we sought support from Yarram police. Please take the time to chat with your child/children and reiterate the importance of stranger awareness and what to do when faced with such situations.

Tomorrow we come together for our Colour Fun Run at 11 am. As mentioned in the previous newsletter, students are to bring with them.

• Plastic bag/ swimming bag
• Change of clothes.
• Underwear
• Towel
• Change of shoes
• Hat
• Drink bottle
• Please name all items

A hotdog lunch will be provided, and an icy pole. Hot lunches will still be available if your child likes something other than hotdogs.

Swimming begins Monday, December 5th, and this is a wonderful week that allows the children to familiarise themselves with water safety, survival and swimming techniques.

Please ensure that all clothing items, school hats and drink bottles are named, and appropriate bags allow the students to carry wet swimming gear back to school.

Kind Regards,

Maria
