Dear Parents and Friends of St Mary’s

As we navigate through this extension of remote learning I would like to
congratulate all the students and families for their resilience and patience. I have
had the opportunity to move in and out of Google Meets across the week and
the delight and banter coming from the children has been wonderful to see. The
learning taking place through Google classroom via live stream has been
targeted to the needs of all our students, and a huge thank you to all the staff for
their wonderful work.

Last Friday we had Book Week dress up day, and I must say the children looked
fabulous as their favourite characters. Meeting with the students across the
school was a chance to chat and celebrate the theme Old Worlds, New Worlds
and Other Worlds.

This weekend we celebrate our Fathers, and the Great Blokes in our lives. I
hope you make them feel loved and cherished with a delicious breakfast and
plenty of quality time together.

For those separated by this lockdown I hope you can manage time virtually and
celebrate how special they are to us all.

Take care and stay well.
Maria
