Traffic

We continue to strive to support our families in a prompt pick up and drop off at the beginning and end of the day. Can parents who use the quick drop off point ensure your children can get out of the car independently, without the support of the parent getting bags out etc. If you require more time with your children to get bags out and farewell, please park and take the time you need. Thank you for your cooperation on this.

PAM - Time to update our medical & personal details

Just a reminder to all families to please review your family and child’s personal details and medical information on PAM. If your child has any medical requirements and action plans, these details need to be current for St Mary’s to be able to administer and adhere to.

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.
