Principal Message

Giinagay families,

We are well and truly into the Term here at St Mary's - it has been a very busy few weeks, and the children are settling well into St Mary's life.

School Goals

One of our school goals for 2024 in the area of Mission is:

To create a new school Mission and Values that are underpinned by our school charism and history.

This will involve community input and ideas which we are looking forward to gathering and discussing. Our school has a rich history that we are hoping to bring into the present, through our Mission and values.

Building Works

When it rains, it pours! We have a new fence around the hall, our work is almost complete for our new Library/Wellbeing hub and the Front Administration room is looking fabulous. Thank you to our families, staff and students  for your patience as these works continue to improve our school. Just a reminder for families to come to the staff room for pick up of children.

NAPLAN

Next week (Wednesday), NAPLAN commences. As we say every year to families, this is a point in time assessment. Please let me know if there are any students particularly struggling with anxious feelings around this assessment so we can support them further.

New Families to St Mary's.

A big warm welcome to the Becker family. Max and Oceana join us in Years 5 & Kindergarten. We are very excited for Max and Oceana to join our St Mary's family and the children have made them feel very welcome.

We have a number of events coming up that involve our families such as working bee's, Open afternoons, etc. I am looking forward to seeing our families this term and sharing with you all the amazing achievements by our students so far.

Take Care,

Nadine
