P&F News
P&F Committee:
All are welcome to join our school P&F Committee. It’s been great to have some new members join!
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 15th May at 9:15am.
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.
St Mary’s Open Day-Tuesday 14th May:
From 9:30-11am staff and students will be welcoming new and prospective families into our school. We are inviting any parents who would like to come along for a cuppa and a chat with these families to join us in the library during this time.
Spread the word about our open day!
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 2: Soup Day-Wednesday 12th June.
Three varieties available to students-Tomato, Vegetable or Pumpkin & Potato!
BYO mug/cup. Served with a dinner roll. Yummo! We are asking if students could please bring along a non-perishable food item to donate to our Annual St Vinnies Winter Appeal, rather than a gold coin for this special lunch day.
If your child/ren would prefer their own lunch on this day they can bring along their packed lunch as usual.
School Fair 2024:
Every second year St Mary’s school holds a fair! This year’s fair will be held in Term 4 on Sunday 20th October.
This will be our major fundraiser for the year.
We have recently started up our fair committee and have had a couple of meetings already. Thank you to all those who have joined! If you would like to join, please email me or leave your name with Krystal at the school office.
Our next fair committee meeting will be held on Wednesday 15th May at 7pm at school. There will be a zoom link set up and released on the day for those who would like to join from home.
Stay tuned for information regarding stalls and a call out for coordinators, volunteers, donations, further stall ideas and support! Thank you in advance-as they say, many hands make light work and certainly make for a successful event, as many of us saw at our 2022 School Fair!
170 Year St Mary’s School & Parish Anniversary:
Sunday 11th August-Mass at 10:30am followed by a celebratory lunch in the St Mary’s Hall. All welcome! Save the date!
Have a great weekend!
