Reconciliation Week

As we approach Reconciliation Week, I want to take this moment to acknowledge the importance of this significant period and share with you how St Mary's will be participating in and honouring the week’s events. Reconciliation Week, held annually from May 27 to June 3, is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

St Mary's Activities for Reconciliation Week

Athletics Day

On Friday, the 31st of May, St Mary's will be joining the Loddon Calder Sporting District to participate in our school Athletics. If you are available to be a group leader or a group assistant on the day please feel free to email Tayla ASAP or call the school so we can put your name down. If you get in quickly, you may be able to be with the group your child is in, which is an awesome opportunity to witness your child in action throughout the day. All volunteers will require a Working With Children's Check which will need to be seen at the Office.

Loddon Healthy Mind Art Competition

Foundation - Grade 3 students will be bringing home their Loddon Healthy Mind Art Competition colouring sheet along with the entry form. Students from St Mary's Primary school have participated in the competition for many years to raise awareness of mental health within the Loddon community. 

This year, students will be asked to complete their competition entry at home, or if they prefer, they can complete it at school during break times only. The competition offers many awesome art prizes.

Grade 5-6: Create an art piece based on: Your feelings are valid, or Be thoughtful about what you share online.

If you require another colouring sheet for the Foundation - Grade 4 section, please let Tayla Fenwick know.
