Welcome Back!

Welcome back to Term 4! What an exciting and busy year it has been so far and Term 4 promises to be the same!

Prep 2025 Information Night

We look forward to welcoming the parents of our 2025 Prep students to our Information Evening next Wednesday 16th October 2024 at 7pm. A reminder that this event is not designed for children, and your prep children are not required at this event. There are lots of opportunities in the coming weeks for the prep students to come to SMCM to get to know the layout and some of the friendly faces! We can't wait to see them all again soon!

Bunnings BBQ Fundraiser

We have been lucky enough to secure a Bunnings BBQ Fundraiser at the Epping store on SUNDAY 17TH NOVEMBER. This fundraising event will support our planning efforts for our Community Fair next year. If you are available to help on the day, cooking, serving etc it would be greatly appreciated so please reach out to kristie.hocking@smcmepppingnthc.catholic.edu.au.
