Welcome to Term 2!

Our St Mary's P&F Committee is focused on planning and organising special social events for students and families, as well as fundraising activities to purchase resources for our students. Thank you again to all of our families for your support of our amazing school fair held last term – this is our major fundraiser which we run every second year. It was such an enjoyable and successful event due to the wonderful effort and commitment of our volunteers. Final funds raised will be announced soon – stay tuned!

A final THANK YOU to local real estate agency PRD, our major sponsor of our fair. We are so appreciative of your generous support of our school!

A final big THANK YOU also goes to these local sponsors and supporters. We are grateful for your support and generous contributions which enabled our school fair to be a very enjoyable and successful event!

Toast & Fruit

Toast and fruit are available each morning from 8:30am until 8:45am for all students who would like some extra fuel before they begin the school day. Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who prepare and serve the toast and fruit each morning and to those who collect the bread as well as top up the supplies!

If you are available and would like to join the roster this year, please let me know via email or you can pass your name onto Krystal in the office.

THANK YOU to Baker’s Delight, Castlemaine for donating bread each week!

THANK YOU also to Castlemaine Fresh, our local fruit and vegetable store, who donate a box of fresh fruit per week to our school. Some will also be available if needed for those students who require it during the school day, particularly at fruit snack time in the mornings.

Every Friday, students have the opportunity to have a sushi lunch order provided by Lunch Box Sushi Castlemaine. If you would like to organise this for your child/ren, please jump online to School lunch online to organise ordering. Orders need to be placed prior to 5pm each Thursday afternoon.
