Dear SMCM Community, Wominjeka!

100 Days of School!

Congratulations to our Foundation Students who celebrated their 100th day of school last Wednesday. It was a wonderful day of learning & fun ending with a magician and magic show. We are incredibly proud of the tranistion to school for our Prep students and their families and can't wait to watch them learn and grow over the next 6 and half years!

St Mary of the Cross MacKillop Feast Day

Tomorrow we celebrate the Feast Day of our school’s Patron Saint, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. We are blessed to have such a role model of faith and perseverance for our school community. 

A number of special activities have been planned for our students to celebrate this day including a mass, liturgies and our whole school dance concert.

This week our students have focused on the qualities and values of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop - a woman who trusted in God, never saw a need without doing something about it and treated others with respect and kindness.  These are the qualities we want to instill in our students at home and at school and should be modelled by the adults in our community. Thank you for being role models to our students just like St Mary MacKillop.

For more information on these activities please see the Community and Family Engagement section of today's newsletter.

God of all of us,

Thank you for giving us, St Mary MacKillop. 

Help us to be the best that we can be, so that we can share Jesus’ love to everyone we meet. 

Through St Mary MacKillop’s example, may we love God more, through our kindness and actions. 

We ask You this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Wishing all members of our school community a very blessed feast day as we celebrate the faith filled life and legacy of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop!
