HOOPTIME - By Jemima (Yr 6 Sport Leader)
On Friday the 9th of August, year five and six students passionately participated in the hooptime tournament held at MSAC. Playing a series of short basketball games against other schools in the area such as St Finbars, St James, St Agnes, St Josephs, Auburn Primary and MLC. All teams ardently cheered on their teammates, and displayed their sportsmanship through support on, as well as off the court. By the end of the tournament, the year 5/6s were left joyful yet tired from the successful day accomplished.
The Hooptime players would like to give a big thanks to Miss Kat, Mrs Ferrari, Mrs Mason, Craig (Poppy’s dad), Anoushka (Anna’s mum), Rohan (Isaac’s dad) and all of the parents who came to show their support and made sure we could participate in this tournament on our scheduled day off school!
ITALIAN DAY 2024 - Signora Vozzo
Dear Parents and St Mary’s School Community,
Last week we celebrated the Italian language and Culture. What a success!
The day commenced with the Year 6 students leading us in Italian saying the St Mary’s School prayer. This was followed by each year level presenting a learning for the community.
We were blessed with a fabulous sunny day and yummy food! Students had a marvellous time trying the four amazing activities during the day: una partita di bocce, un gioco a tombola, fare la pizza e creare lavori artistici con la pasta!
Thank you to every family for supporting your child in preparation for the day. Thank you to our Parents and Friends Committee for enabling the pizza making activity to occur.
A special thank you to our parent volunteers who gave their time to assist the children with the pizza making.
The day was enjoyed by staff, parents and students! Bravissimi ragazzi e grazie maestri! Viva l’Italia!
