Dear Parents, Carers and Guardians,
I wish to reassure families impacted financially by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that we want to assist you in every way possible to continue your child(ren)’s enrolment at St. Mary's Primary School.
As many in our school community grapple with unprecedented changes to finances, emotional wellbeing and physical health, we have taken a clear position on enrolments.
Any parent, carer or guardian who wishes their child to receive a Catholic education at St. Mary's will not be denied the opportunity to do so due to financial circumstances.
If you have concerns about your financial situation, please contact Heather at the school office hleemon@stmyarram.catholic.edu.au so that we can explore confidential financial support arrangements to enable your child(ren)’s education at our school to continue.
School fees are an essential portion of resources for the operation of our school and assist our leaders and staff to enhance curriculum and teaching programs. Therefore, we are asking, for those who can, to continue to support the school financially.
We will respond to applications for financial assistance as promptly as possible, given our own constraints during this time. We are absolutely committed to working with our families as we all move through these challenging times.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these arrangements, please do not hesitate to contact St. Mary's.
Thank you for your continued support of our St Mary's community.
Your support will enable us to continue to provide quality learning opportunities and strong pastoral programs for all our students.
Yours sincerely Joel Brayshaw
If you have a child or know of anyone wishing to enrol their child in 2021, please contact the school or download a Parent Handbook and Enrolment Form. Enrolment forms may be emailed to hleemon@stmyarram.catholic or dropped of at the school office.
Have you ever been as busy as a bee?
According to reputable source, one bee must make 4,200 trips to flowers to make one tablespoon of honey! The person who counted those 4,200 trips must have been as busy as a bee too! If YOU want to be as busy as a bee, why don't you COUNT all the blessings God has given you? The first one you might count is the fact that you would NOT have to make 4,200 trips to the grocery store to get a whole JAR of honey!
School canteen lunches are on Fridays. All lunch orders are to be in by Thursdays at 3.15pm.
What content are children watching?
Increasingly, children are being exposed to developmentally inappropriate content in movies, television programs and video games which can negatively impact their wellbeing, behaviour and attitudes.
