Parents and Friends
P&F Committee:
All are welcome to join our school P&F Committee! If you would like to be involved but are unable to attend the monthly meetings due to work or other commitments, please feel free to e mail me and I will add you to the group.
Next P&F Meeting:
Wednesday 21st August at 2pm, prior to school pick up time.
Please meet at the school office. All welcome!
Toast:
Toast is available each morning for all students who would like some extra fuel before they begin the school day!
Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who prepare and serve the toast each morning! If you would like to join the roster please let me know or you can pass your name onto Krystal in the office.
Recycling:
At St Mary’s this year we are collecting any recyclable cans, bottles and containers marked with the 10cent refund. These will be transported to Chewton Service Station. All money raised will come back to our school to benefit our students whilst strengthening our sustainability practises to contribute to a healthier world. There is a new, blue wheelie bin located down stairs for these to be dropped off.
Student Special Lunch Day
Term 3: Pie/Pastie/Sausage Roll/Quiche Day-Wednesday 4th September: students have the opportunity to place an order on this day. There will be vegetarian options.
Order forms will be sent home next Monday 19th August-please look out for these. They will need to be returned with correct money inside a sealed envelope or zip lock bag by the following Monday 26th August.
If your child would prefer, they may of course bring along their own school lunch as per usual.
Correction: Please note-the casual sport/team colours dress day is on the final day of term, not on this special lunch day as previously advertised.
School Fair 2024:
This year’s fair will be held in Term 4 on Sunday 20th October. We are only a couple of months away!
This will be our major fundraiser for the year.
Our next fair committee meeting will be held on Wednesday 21st August at 7pm at school in the staff room. There will be a Google meet link set up and released on the day for those who would like to join from home.
Please return the fair form that came home with your child to the school office asap. We are still seeking coordinators for stalls, volunteers to work shifts and donations of different items to different stalls. Please tick where you can assist and add your name and contact number to enable the coordinator to then contact you when planning and organising the stall. If you require another form, please ask at the office.
Thank you!
170 Year St Mary’s School & Parish Anniversary:
Thank you to all those families who were able to come along and join in this celebration. It was a lovely morning! Thank you also to those who were able to contribute a plate of food to share. Special thank you to the students who shared beautiful prayers during mass.
Rock n Roll Dance:
Saturday 24th August 5:30-8pm in the St Mary’s Hall. Spread the word!
We will be hosting a rock n roll dance, welcoming people from near and far to enjoy an evening of great music, dancing and delicious supper. Mark it on your calendar and join us for a memorable evening!
