Class Parents for 2020

Are you interested in being a class parent for 2020?  Class Parents roles include welcoming new families to the school and being a point of contact for parents in the class for information about different school activities.   For our Kindergarten classes we are looking for parents who already have older children in our school and would be willing to welcome our new school parents to St Mary's.  Please contact the School Office if you are interested.  For more information on the roles of class parents please refer to the school website http://www.stmarysarmidale.catholic.edu.au/community.php?id=79
