MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Friends of St Mary’s,
We have had a positive start to the school year, with all the students settling into the routines of the classroom and playground.
Yesterday we celebrated our Beginning Of School Mass for 2023. The senior students led our celebration today with the theme being “Let you Light Shine.”
This message comes from Matthews's Gospel, where Jesus often refers to the light we all have in our hearts. As we begin our year, we need to recognise the light we all have in our hearts and how we share that with our peers, teachers and family.
Last evening we came together to celebrate our shared tea on the oval. It was lovely to welcome new and familiar faces and get to know each other as the children played. I thoroughly enjoy the sense of community these events demonstrate; community is the core of our connection.
We are looking forward to a wonderful week of swimming commencing on the 13th of February.
In My Swimming Bag, I Must Have
- Sturdy swimming bag
- Towel
- Goggles
- Change of underwear
- Bathers
- Rash vest
- Drink bottle
- Snack
- Plastic bag for wet clothes
I would like to remind all parents and carers that they must access the school crossing if parking on the opposite side of the school on Buckley Street. The students must walk across the crossing to enter the school at all times.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mara
