Dear Parents and Friends of St Mary’s,

The Grade Three to Six students participated in the Yarram and District Cross Country at the Yarram Golf course today, and it was wonderful to see the commitment and willingness of all the students to have a go at the course. We have nine students moving onto the SSV Wellington Division Cross Country on Monday, May 23rd. We wish them all the best as they take on this next challenge, and we look forward to celebrating their achievements.

It has been terrific participating in the learning throughout the school and listening to class discussions. Our Whole School Integrated topic is “Our Parliamentary System”, which coincides with the State Election this weekend. The students have been learning about parliamentary processes, democratic rules and expectations and who holds leadership positions and their responsibilities.

We will be holding a sausage sizzle on Saturday, May 21st, from 8 am to 2 pm in the Mary MacKillop car park; all money raised will go to our Little Learners Love literacy Systematic Phonics Program. If you can volunteer an hour to help out over the day, please contact the front office.

Kind Regards,

Maria
