MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Friends and Families of St Mary’s,
I hope you are bracing yourselves for the busy wind - down to our 2021 school year! The calendar is full of our end of term activities, and I am excited that we can share these, COVID safely, of course!
We came together with 2022 Foundation students and families for our final Orientation and Morning Tea on Tuesday. The staffroom was abuzz with conversation and laughter as staff and parents enjoyed getting to know each other and sharing stories about their little ones.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ben Taylor for his time in the Foundation /One Learning Space over Terms Three and Four. Ben has brought enthusiasm and a love of learning throughout his time with us. We wish him all the best for his next endeavour and he will always be a part of our St Mary’s School Community.
We welcome Erin Henderson back to our St Mary’s Family, and we are thrilled that she will take on the role of Senior Teacher. Erin comes with a wealth of knowledge and expertise in this area and has a genuine love for our beautiful school.
Child Safety is at the forefront of who we are and what we do at St Mary’s. It has come to my attention that certain students scooting and riding bikes to and from school are not abiding by the correct road rules. We have taken the time to discuss this with the whole school what being safe looks like, sounds like and feels like. We want all our students to understand their role in the wider community and be active participants in keeping themselves and others safe.
