The Laptop Hire Agreement paperwork for 2026 has been sent to families. Please ensure the signed form is returned before the holidays to guarantee your child’s access to a leased laptop at the start of the next academic year.

Year 9 Tie Ceremony

We look forward to welcoming you to our Year 9 Tie Ceremony, a special event celebrating the conclusion of your child’s junior journey at St Mary’s Catholic College. Invitations have been sent—please ensure you RSVP via the Parent Slip. If you are unable to attend, kindly let us know.

The evening will commence with canapés. Guests will then move into the Hugh O’Brien Auditorium for the formal proceedings, which will include the presentation of senior ties, a keynote address by the College Leadership Team, and dancing to conclude the night.

Community Day

Our Community Day will take place this Friday. I trust we have your response slip. Students bringing rods and tackle boxes should store them in the minibus prior to Pastoral Group. All students are required to wear their Sports uniform with enclosed shoes. Please remember to bring a water bottle and a hat for the day.
