Principal Message

  It is hard to believe we are at the end of Term 1 and in the Easter season of Lent. This term has been a very busy one, and I am so proud of all our amazing learners and the growth they have shown in learning. 

During May, we will have our next  school review. This shapes our 4 year plan and direction. The review is conducted by external assessors and another Primary school Principal. Our last review was in 2022 and I am very proud of how far our school community has grown and improved since then.  A huge part of our growth is the amazing team of Educators that we have at St Mary’s. The commitment and dedication all of our staff show each and every day, is why we are where we are today. 

As we head into winter sport season, a reminder to families that we will not be able to drop our students at sporting practices, etc. Our drop off points are your places of residence and we have a duty of care to our students until they are in the care of you or another trusted adult. Can I also please ask that families to inform the school of any afternoon changes before 2.30pm each day. We have had some really confusing afternoons where students and teachers are unsure of where children are going as well as mixed messages. Thank you for your support with this matter.

Families, we really need your help! Our Easter egg donations are really low this year. Could you please contribute in any way shape or form (no matter how small) with a donation of Easter eggs. Thank you to those families who have already donated, we are very grateful! 

I look forward to seeing our families in Week 10 at our Community breakfast. All friends and family are welcome.
