World Teacher’s Day celebration Monday 28th October 2024

As you are aware, this Friday is World Teacher’s Day. At StMM we will celebrate on Monday 28th October 2024 starting with a breakfast. If you would like to contribute to the Teacher Breakfast, please insert your family name against an item on the FORM. It will be a great start to the week for our teacher’s and a wonderful way to acknowledge and thank them for their dedication to the very important role they have in shaping our children’s minds. 

Hope to see those of you who can make it next Tuesday at Souths Juniors.

Go gently, every blessing
