Giinagay families,

It is hard to believe that this is the final newsletter for Term 2 - half the year has sped by!

School Reports

This week I have had the privilege of reading 51 student reports. I am always so happy to read about the learning, growth and learning opportunities that our students have access to each and every day. I also want to thank the Teachers and our amazing support staff who work so hard everyday to ensure the learning and well being needs of all of our students are met. I hope each family enjoys reading about your child's learning progress this semester as much as I have.

NAIDOC

Our 2024 NAIDOC week celebrations will commence next week (Week 10). The theme this year being "Keep the Fire Burning! Black, Loud and Proud". The symbolism of the fire represents the enduring strength and vitality of Indigenous cultures, passed down through generations despite the challenges faced. When I think about our St Mary's community, it really is an honour to learn and work alongside the strong and open Indigenous staff we have on our team. The unity that our school community shows and shares with each other is also a testament to our Indigenous staff, children and families. Please join us next week for our NAIDOC Mass (Wednesday) or Bush Tucker Day (Thursday) as we celebrate this week and our amazing community. 

Leave

Just a reminder that I will be on leave the first 3 weeks of Term 3, please direct all phone calls to Miss Amy at the school on 65647369. I will be out of range most of that time so if I am not responding to emails, that is why!
