Dear Parents,

What a wonderful time to have your child at St Mary's! 

Last Sunday and Monday's celebration of Catholic Education was simply wonderful and I thank so many parents for coming along to be part of it. Our students were well prepared and I am very proud of each one of them. St Mary's staff worked hard to bring this event together and Community Council were by our side as well. Thank you for donations of food for our morning tea. We certainly needed it as we had so many guests, past students and Catholic Education personnel including Director Ross Fox. It was a team effort! 

Many photos and videos were taken to record this special time for our school and they will also go into our archives for future celebrations. 

I am in Canberra today and tomorrow at Principal meetings. Ms Amy Buckmaster is in charge in my absence.

Have a lovely week everyone.

I hope you were able to catch a glimpse of the celebrations at some stage. If not, stay tuned for photo updates over the coming weeks. 

To finish off a special week, this Friday 27th October, students are invited to wear their favourite socks to raise money for those in need. October is Socktober for Mission Month. 

Wear your favourite socks and donate with loose change, both gold and silver. 

With our loose change we aim to create a coin line. Our goal is to create the longest line of coins possible! 

It will be a sock-tastic day!
