MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents,
I recently received an email that included this prayer by Pope Francis about fasting during Lent. Coincidently, this same prayer was read and used as a reflection at last Friday’s school liturgy. The words in the prayer are very powerful and lead us not to fast (give up something) during Lent, but encourages us to ‘be more’. What do you want to fast from this Lent?
St Mary’s Primary School Open Day
All St Mary’s families and friends are invited to our Open Day. Please come in and visit your child’s classroom, join them in their learning and enjoy a look around our school.
School Closure Day
Next Friday, 5th March is a school closure day for St Mary’s Primary due to staff being involved in professional development. As Monday, 8th March is the Labour Day public holiday, I hope that you all have a great long weekend.
School Advisory Committee Nominations
This week forms were sent home to all families regarding nominations for the St Mary’s School Advisory Committee. Please carefully consider nominating yourself or another parent to either the position of chair, secretary or general committee member. Positions will be announced at our AGM on Tuesday, 16th March at 5:15pm.
Email Addresses
Due to a number of families not receiving the school newsletter of emails sent to all families, a note was sent out last week asking for your email address information. If you have not completed this form and returned it to school, can I please ask that you do this as soon as possible.
Communication with Teachers
Communication between parents and classroom teachers is important in your child’s education. If you need to contact your child’s classroom teacher, you can book an appointment through Heather at the office or contact them via email. Below are the classroom teachers email addresses for your records:
