Dear Parents and Friends of St Mary’s,

We enjoyed a wonderful week of swimming and water familiarisation at the Yarram pool. The weather has allowed us to walk to and from the pool, and the new building structure has considerably reduced the wind and chill factors.

I would like to thank Heather Flynn for all her organisation and the additional time that goes into making this vital experience enjoyable for the children and staff.

Tonight we celebrate our Graduation dinner and ceremony for our class of 2022.

We wish  Lyla, Ava, Indianna, Tate, Salenah, and Olivia all the best as they conclude their primary education.

A BIG thank you to all the staff who have helped organise this special event.

I thank Hope Haughie for her exceptional contribution as our grade 5/6 teacher over the past twelve months.

Hope has decided to leave this position and return to the tutoring role and other personal endeavours for 2023.

On behalf of the St Mary’s school community, I wish Hope the best as she follows her dreams and aspirations. I thank her for instilling in her students that they can be successful and strive for academic excellence with effort and resilience.

We welcome Kiera - Lee Williams to our St Mary’s family for one day a week for 2023. Kiera completed a placement throughout the year and demonstrated exceptional teaching skills.

I am in the process of completing the classroom organisation and staffing for 2023, and I will announce these in the coming days.

Kind Regards,

Maria
