Dear Parents, Carers and Guardians,

It has been wonderful to have a whole week together at St Mary’s, and alongside our learning, the school has been a vibrant showcase of poems, beautiful voices and learning lines for the up and coming Sixtieth Yarram Eisteddfod. At this stage, we are waiting on information from the Eisteddfod Committee about the finer details of the week.

                                    ST MARY OF THE CROSS FEAST DAY

Mary MacKillop Feast Day is held every August 8th, in honour of the revered Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop. She was the first Saint of Australia, and her influence in the country has spread far and wide. She is recognised for her commitment to the poor and helping those who needed it the most in any way she could. Her legacy continues today in countless ways. Education in its many facets is still a strong ministry for the Sisters of Saint Joseph who were founded in Penola, South Australia, in 1866 by Mary Helen MacKillop and Reverend Julian Edmund Tenison Woods.

Enjoy Your Weekend,

Kind Regards,

Maria
