From the Principal

It has been a busy few weeks here at STM, we have had lots of fun activities going on in conjunction with our learning program at school. Last Thursday we sent a large team to the Disctrict Athletics Carnival, the students represented our school with pride and great sportsmanship. We do have a few students progressing through to the next round of competition, we wish these students well. Hopefully we can catch a few of our athletics champions on the podcast next week. 

On Monday our 3/4/5 classes attended the Melbourne Museum for an excursion. The museum is always a fascinating place to visit and the reports from staff was that the students enjoyed their visit.

Hats at STM!!:

Just a note for families that hats are compulsory from the start of Term 4 at recess and lunch times. I highly encourage students to start bringing their hats to school now as the sun has started to poke its head through on a semi-regular basis. This week we did have a few students with red cheeks after playing at recess and lunch. 

Just a note the school does not provide sunscreen for students. Families are welcome to send sunscreen and ask their own children to apply before going outside. 

Bunnings BBQ:

Congratulations to the P&F Committee for organising and running the Bunnings BBQ on Saturday. They cooked a mammoth 1,040 sausages and used nearly 50 loaves of bread.  $3,055 was raised, this is a fantastic result for a Bunnings BBQ.

One for the Dads:

Footy Colours Day:

On Friday 18th of September (Last day of Term 3) we will be holding our Footy Dress up day. Students are invited to dress up in the colours of their favourite footy team.
