We were all very excited with last week's announcement that Elaine Ventriest has been appointed as the new principal of St Mary's. Please see the attached letter that was distributed to families last week.
Every minute matters!
School refusal is a significant problem for many families and can result in significant issues if it is not dealt with in the early stages. If you suspect your child is showing signs of school refusal such as pretending to be sick or creating problems that are bigger than reality, please contact your classroom teacher for strategies.
Feast of the Assumption Mass
Thank you to everyone who was involved in last week's Feast of the Assumption liturgy, especially Fr Addin who celebrated mass for the first time with us!

Well done to everyone on the wonderful Book Week costumes that were on display last Friday. A special mention goes to Edie Lawson who got a message from author Craig Silvey on our Facebook page!

Mr Butts' Jokes!
I had a very happy childhood because my dad used to put me in old tyres and roll me around in the backyard. They were good years!
I'm a bit sad that I my pet parrot that I used to carry around all day died recently, but it's a big weight off my shoulders!
