Sun hats for Term 4

With Term 4 now in full swing and the warmer weather finally upon us, we are enacting our Sun Protection Policy. This means that all students are required to wear the school bucket hat when outside, at recess and lunchtime, and during outdoor PE lessons.

Hats are a compulsory school item in Term 4. If the appropriate sun hat is not worn, students will need to play in shaded areas.

School hats are available for purchase from the St Mary's College Uniform Shop for $15. Please ensure your child's hat is clearly named so that in the event it is misplaced, it can be returned to its rightful owner.

Thank you for your cooperation and helping us promote the importance of healthy sun protection practices.

Exam preparations

Swotvac is here and the end of term is near!

Now is the time to knuckle down and get some study done. As well as revising - and revitalising - it's time to focus on supporting each other through the next few weeks.

The lead up to exams can be a bit stressful, but you may find the following resources handy for getting you through the exam period:

Remember to reach out to your family and teachers for support, and that success in exams is not a measure of success in life.
