Dear Parents and Carers,
We have another exciting week ahead of us here at St Mary's! Last Friday, the students enjoyed a uniform free day to support Mission Week. Thank you to our two leaders, Lucy and Hazel for collecting the donations. Money will be sent through to Catholic Mission.
The students enjoyed another fantastic afternoon of dancing with the Footsteps Dance Company. Some great dance moves and steps are starting to emerge!
This Friday is the Opening of the Refurbished Batlow Literary Institute. Once again our students have been invited to come along and sing for the invited guests. Special dignitaries will also be present on the evening and it is another lovely opportunity to showcase our school to the Batlow community. Thank you so much to parents for enabling students to attend these special community activities. Students are asked to be at The Institute by 6:15pm ready to sing at approximately 6:25pm.
We are very excited to be welcoming our 2019 Kindergarten students this Thursday to St Mary's School. The Kindergarten students will spend all morning with our current Kindergarten class. Year 1 students will move up to the Year 2/3 room for the morning.
Thank you to the many parents/carers that have responded to our two surveys. It has been lovely to have parent input into our school activities. We have received overwhelming support to continue with the lovely tradition of Kris Kindle (KK). Please see the dates we have put in place for KK to begin.
We are hoping to receive more input into the decision regarding our Annual Award Night. So far, the majority of votes are for an afternoon award evening. If you wish to add your voice please fill the survey in or email the office your thoughts by THIS Friday to enable a decision to be made.
Enjoy the week ahead and we are looking forward to seeing you on Friday at the Literary Institute.
Please note that i will be away on leave next week. Any issues can be directed to Mrs Richards during my absence.
