Dear Parents and Carers,
I would like to begin by saying a very special thank you for all the prayers and support that was shown to both Mrs Murray and myself last week, when our mother was extremely ill. A huge thank you to Miss Buckmaster for ensuring all ran smoothly at St Mary’s and to Catholic Education for their support in providing additional assistance to the school each day. A big thank you to Mrs Wilson from St Patrick’s Gundagai who spent two days at school assisting as well. Thank you to St Mary’s community for their prayerful support, for our mum who has shown some signs of improvement. Please keep her in your prayers. We are very grateful to everyone.
Our Year K/1s have begun their annual swimming program this week and are excited to be heading to the pool each day. A huge thank you to Mrs Renae Smith for providing this opportunity for K/1 to develop the life-long skills of swimming. The weather forecast is also looking promising for our little swimmers.
Our Kris Kindle (KK) will also begin on Friday when your child will bring home the name of a child in their class group, who they will be looking after during the following week. Students are encouraged over the weekend to make cards or special items for their KK. Please limit sweet treats such as lollies or chocolates for your KK. KK will run from Monday 11th Dec until Friday 15th December, which will also be gift giving day.
Our end of term is approaching rapidly with many activities occurring over the next three weeks. Please ensure you place all of our special dates in your diaries.
Best wishes for the week ahead,
Christine Baron
Principal
