Dear Parents and Carers,

As we approach the final weeks of Term Two, we are not just completing assessments and writing end-of-semester reports. We are witnessing our students' remarkable growth, a testament to their hard work and dedication. Our staff's comments on our students' achievements reflect their progress.

In the last few weeks of this term, we recognise that our students might feel pressure, especially with the winter weather confining them indoors. This is a pivotal moment to reiterate our school-wide expectations, which are more than just rules. They are a solid pledge to foster a respectful and nurturing school community, ensuring the best for our students.

At St Mary’s, we are Safe, Respectful, Responsible, and Learners.

As always, we kindly ask you to ensure your precious children's safe drop-off and pick-up. Seeing these happy and secure children arriving and leaving St Mary’s every day is a heartwarming sight, a testament to our collective commitment as a school community to their safety.

Congratulations to Sara, who competed in the Wellington Zone Cross Country last week. Despite the challenging course and strong competitors, she managed to secure a commendable position, which is an extraordinary achievement. 

Maria
