NEW - Science Grade 5/6 Area

This term the grade five - sixes are learning about science as a part of their inquiry topic. In this unit, we will learn about how we can change states of matter from Miss Junor, about electricity from Mr Woodward, light from Mrs Hicks and from Mrs Davkovski we will learn about Balloon rockets. All this research will lead up to a science display at the end of the term. Each student will make a display of their research to present to the St Marys community.  

NEW - Anzac Day

In week one and term two on Thursday, There was the Anzac March a day to remember the soldiers who died for us to keep our country safe. It is a day of remembering. We started in the middle of Mooroopna at the water tower and we walked to the ceremony at the Mooroopna memorial. There were a lot of St Mary's kids and also a lot of the Mooroopna Community.
