Gr 5/6 Camp

Our Gr 5/6 Students left early yesterday morning heading to Canberra for their Camp.  They are having a wonderful time visiting places like the National War Memorial, Royal Australian Mint, Mt Ainsley, Australian Institute of Sport and Questacon Science Centre.  What a fantastic week away! Please head to our Facebook page for more photos.

Opening Mass

Our Opening Mass was a beautiful celebration last week.  It was a wonderful way to give thanks for the beautiful school we have and pray for a safe and healthy year ahead.  We also commissioned our Gr 6 Leaders.  Thank you to Mrs Hicks for organising and everyone who participated.  Here is the link for those who missed it:

Andrew Chinn Anthem

St Mary's has used Andrew Chinn's music for many years now and we have been lucky enough to been invited to be part of his new Advance Australia Fair film clip.  Keep an eye out for the Australian cow in the video!

 

 

 

Beautiful Art

Thank you to Kymberly Watkins for donating this beautiful painting to the school. Izel & Merv  are very proud of their mum's artwork!

 

School Crossing

Could all parents and carers of children who use the school crossing please discuss safety and the rules when using the crossing.
