Dear Parents and Carers,
 “So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” – Romans 12:5

As Term 3 draws to a close, we pause to give thanks for the learning, progress, and sense of community that continues to grow throughout St Mary’s School. This term has been filled with wonderful achievements both inside and outside the classroom — from academic milestones to sporting events, cultural celebrations, and acts of service within our school community.

We are especially proud of how our students have continued to meet our school-wide expectations: being respectful, responsible, and resilient learners. Even when challenges have arisen, they have persevered with courage and determination, supported by their peers and our dedicated staff.

We are reminded in Romans 12:5 that we are all part of one body, working together and supporting one another in faith and love. This sense of unity has been evident throughout the term — in our classrooms, playgrounds, and during special school events. We are grateful for the partnership we share with our families in helping each child flourish.

To our incredible teaching and support staff — thank you for your tireless commitment, creativity, and care. You continue to go above and beyond to support our learners and help them reach their full potential. Your work does not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful.

To our students and families, we wish you a safe, joyful, and well-earned holiday break. Take this time to rest and recharge, ready for all that Term 4 will bring.

Looking Ahead to Term 4:
 Please refer to the school calendar for important dates and updates on upcoming events. We will also continue to use Class Dojo to keep all our families informed and connected throughout the term.

Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and prayers.

Maria
