General Information
On Wednesday 11 October, we have a special visit from Author and Illustrator Dr Cameron Stelzer. Dr Cameron is visiting St Mary of the Angels Primary School to run workshops with our K-6 students. Kinder students will participate in a writing workshop focusing on idea formation and inspirations for narratives. Year 1-2 students will engage in a writing workshop exploring the combination of words and visual elements. Cameron will be engaging Year 3-4 students in a workshop exploring exciting and descriptive writing. Year 5-6 students will be exploring techniques to create blockbuster action stories – think gripping suspense scenes, epic action encounters and hold-on-to-your-seat cliff-hangers. Students and teachers are looking forward to a great day! In conjunction with the Author Visit, St Mary of the Angels Guyra families have a special opportunity to purchase signed and personalised copies of Cameron’s books at special prices. Individual books are $10-$15 each and there are also exclusive book sets available. Students will receive an order form on the day of the workshops (payment is via the online payment portal listed on the form; no cash). Forms can be returned the following day, to the Office.

YOUTH VOICE IN SCHOOLS
The 2023 NSW Youth Advisory Council (YAC) are passionate about ensuring young people have a say when it comes to their education, and they want to hear from students about how schools can best listen to students. If you are interested please scan the barcode on the attached image and complete the survey.
School Fees
Thank you to our School community for your continuing payments of school fees. With many families in difficult times, we are very fortunate that everyone makes the greatest effort to pay school fees which supports the education of all students. Thank you.
I also ask parents to ensure their fees are up to date. School fees are a crucial economic requirement to ensure all our students can access the curriculum and be provided with improved educational outcomes. Money collected from school fees is directed towards the children of today. Any family requiring assistance with school fees is encouraged to contact the school office.
Techone - Options for paying
As we have now fully transitioned to the new finance system Techone, their are new ways in which you can make payments to the school, this includes Bpay, CompassPay and EFTPOS. You can make payments for School Fees and Events via the Compass App. Please contact the School if you require assistance with the Compass App.
