Principal's Announcements

Father's Day Breakfast

Our Father's Day Breakfast was once again a great success.  We didn't let the rain spoil our enthusiasm and it was great to see the kids sharing breakfast with the kids.  Thank you to the School Board for organising and cooking the breakfast.  Also thank you to the P&F for organising the Father's Day Stall.  I know the dads loved the pressies the kids purchased for them!

Suzanna Sheed Visit

It was lovely to have Suzanna Sheed visit St Mary's last week.  She attended our breakfast club, where she served up some toast and cereal and had a look around our school.  Suzanna is very passionate about education in the Goulburn Valley and she was impressed with our school and the students.

St Mary's Feast Day

On Friday we will be celebrating St Mary's Feast Day with Mass at 9:30am.  All families are welcome to attend and after mass the children will be heading to Kidstown for a play to celebrate.  We will return to school by lunchtime.

Principal's Award

Congratulations to Daisy Crilly who received the Principal's Award last week. Daisy is an exceptional young lady who is an excellent role model in many ways for the rest of the school.  She is kind, friendly and is happy do whatever the teachers ask of her.  Daisy has a great sense of humour and has the ability to make those around her happy with her bright and bubbly personality.   Congratulations Daisy!

St Mary's Netball

Well done to our Boys Netball Team who represented St Mary's so  well at the Netball Victoria State Finals last week.  St Mary's came 4th in the state after winning 4 of their games.  What a fantastic achievement!!  Well done boys and the super coaches Mrs Loughran and Mr Preston.

Chicken Pox

There has been a case of Chicken Pox confirmed with one of our Gr 1/2 students.  Please see your doctor if your child shows symptoms which include a mild fever, tiredness, irritability, itchiness and a spotty rash.  

Gr 3/4 Melbourne Trip

Our Gr 3/4 students are heading to Melbourne next week to visit the MCG and Art Museum.  I'm sure they will learn lots and have an enjoyable day in the city!

Joke of the Week
