Kindergarten Enrolments for 2022
Kindergarten enrolments for 2022 are now open. If you would like an enrolment package, please contact the school office.
If you have already received an enrolment package for your Kindergarten 2022 child, please complete the form and return it to the school office as soon as possible so your enrolment interview can be scheduled.
Please note, that until enrolment paperwork is received at the school office, we can not hold places for Kindergarten 2022. Therefore, if you currently have a child at St Mary's and have a younger sibling starting Kinder next year, please let the school office know as soon as possible.
Year 4 Lake Keepit Excursion
Please note that under current Covid restrictions this excursion will not be able to go ahead. However, we are proceeding with our preparations in the hope that things will improve before the event and the children are able to attend.
Permission notes were put up on Compass for the Year 4 Lake Keepit Excursion last term. The aims of the Year 4 Lake Keepit overnight excursion are:
- to develop independence;
- to give the children opportunities to challenge themselves in completing a range of physical activities;
- to build resilience by overcoming fears;
- to develop positive relationships among the children by working together in groups.
The excursion is planned for Thursday, 9th September to Friday, 10th September 2021.
Clothing Pool
With the latest COVID restrictions we are unable to open the Clothing Pool. Please contact the school office on 6772 4441 or smaadmin@arm.catholic.edu.au if there are uniform items you require from the Clothing Pool and we will check availability for you.
Please make sure that you check and label or re-label clothing items, including trackpants, beanies, gloves etc so we can return items to their owners. Also please remember to rename items purchased from the clothing pool - if the previous owner's name is still on it, we will send it home with them!
We continue to find many items of unlabelled uniforms, often brand new, in our lost property baskets. It is impossible to return these items to students and unnamed items are donated to the clothing pool.
