From the Principal
Dear families,
Welcome back to Term 4 at STM!!! Just a reminder that Term 4 is generally the busiest term of the year. I will try and keep the Important Dates and Upcoming Events Tab updated as much as we can.
Our First major event of the term is our Kaboom Sports Day. This day is in lieu of our School Athletics Carnival which was cancelled due to poor weather. Students are asked to wear comfortable clothes in their house colours for the day.
I would like to acknowledge the students who represented our school at the Divisional Athletics Carnival on the 16th of September. All of the students did an amazing job and the majority of them progressed through to the Regional Carnival which will be held on October 22nd. Congratulations to Ashlea, Grayson, Avery, Tala, Payton, Violet and Sadie on your efforts.
A few really important dates for your diaries:
Monday 2nd of November - School Closed (Time in Lieu Day for staff)
Tuesday 3rd of November - School Closed (Melbourne Cup Public Holiday)
Wednesday 4th of November - School Closed (Staff Professional Development Day)
Friday 4th of December - School Closed (2027 School Planning Day)
Term 4 - Hats are compulsory:
A reminder that hats will be expected from the start of Term 4. Students who are not wearing a hat will be asked to sit in the shaded areas during recess and lunch.
Just a note the school does not provide sunscreen for students. Families are welcome to send sunscreen and ask their own children to apply before going outside.
Teeth on Wheels:
