New - Exciting Learning in Prep
There is so much wonderful learning happening in our Prep classrooms!
Our students have been busy learning, creating, exploring and developing new skills, and they are incredibly proud to share their work with others. It is wonderful to see their confidence growing as they proudly show off their learning on display around the classrooms.
Today was an especially exciting day as our Preps had the opportunity to meet and welcome their new teacher for Term 4, Miss Meg Mulraney!
Meg is already a familiar and much-loved face around St Mary’s, having supported many of our classes throughout the year.
There were lots of smiles, conversations and excitement as the students got to know Meg and look forward to their next chapter of learning together.
We are so proud of our Preps and all they are achieving. Keep shining, Preps!
Let Your Light Shine!
