Principal Appreciation Day

This week at St Mary’s, we celebrated Principal’s Day in honour of our incredible leader, Mr. O'. His unwavering dedication and support for our school community have not gone unnoticed. Our students showed their appreciation through heartfelt cards, thoughtful messages, and even a few photos to thank him for all his hard work. It has been a special reminder of the positive impact he has had on our school every day.
