Queens Birthday Public Holiday
A reminder that next Monday 13th June is the Queens Birthday Public Holiday. Have a safe and happy long weekend!
BP service station and crossing on Bridlington Ave.
We are noticing an increase in students crossing the roads to use the new BP service station. Whilst we recognise the convenience, we ask that you remind students to use the crossing and are accompanied by an adult to the service station. We are not able to supervise traffic in this area and our students safety is of highest priority. Thank you for your understanding.
St Josephs College Students - work experience
From Monday 20th to Friday 24th June, Year 10 St Jospeh's students will complete work experience and support our students and classrooms. We are looking forward to welcoming back some past St Mary’s students and meeting some new faces.
Terrific Kid Assembly and last day of Term
Friday 24th will be our last day of Term 2. Terrific Kid Assembly will commence at 12pm followed by a Learning Expo and shared lunch, before a 2:05 pm finish. We will also finish the term with Crazy Hair Day to reward students of the many positive behaviours observed this term. We are looking forward to finishing Term 2 by celebrating with our families.
Communication
Please see attached our Communication Road Map. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, queries or concerns. We are thrilled to be able to connect more regularly with families and look forward to having families in classrooms and in attendance at whole-school gatherings. We hope this road map, supports you on the most effective ways to communicate, depending on your area of concern, thank you.
Lunch Orders
Students are able to order their lunch on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We encourage you to order online but if you decide to send money and order to school in a brown paper bag please note no change is given.
PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CHILD'S YEAR LEVEL TO AVOID YOUR CHILD'S LUNCH GOING TO THE WRONG CLASS.
Online details and price list will be shared with families once received.
