Tomorrow, Friday, 27th of October, is World Teachers’ Day, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the teaching staff at St Mary’s for their dedication and continued excellence in driving student learning at St Mary’s. I hope you know how appreciated you are!

Also, tomorrow, we are coming together as a school community united by the colour red in honour of Daniel Morcombe.

Congratulations to our Grade 4-6 students who participated in Kanga Cricket at the Yarram Recreational Reserve on Monday. We are so proud of your efforts in representing the school through wild and unpredictable weather. Thank you to Anthony Sheedy for organising the event, teams and setting up the oval.

Next Wednesday, November 1st, we celebrate Book Week with a Mad Hatters Tea Party. The children will decorate a cupcake in class on Tuesday with icing and sprinkles ready for sharing.

The children can wear any hat they wish for the tea party; please don’t go and purchase something new for the occasion.

Maria.
