Dear Parents,
We have begun our learning journey for 2021 with very settled students last week, especially our Kindergarten students. Thank you parents for preparing students with equipment and uniforms prior to day one.
Opening Mass
Our Opening Mass was held last Thursday and thank you to Father George for presiding and Ms Hotham for her preparation and gentle touch in our beautiful St Mary’s church. It was lovely to be able to welcome some parents back into our school setting for this occasion. Our Year 6 leaders were inducted in Mass and their leadership roles are:
- Hospitality Host-Zayn Bartlett
- Media Leader-Annabelle Smith
- Sport Leaders-Ryley Bartlett and Liam Wilkinson
Congratulations Year 6 on reaching this milestone. I am confident that all four leaders will be great role models, work as a team and support environment initiatives and fundraising projects over 2021.
Swimming Carnival
Our swimming carnival will be held tomorrow from 9:30 to 12pm and Hume and Hovell will battle it out for the house trophy. Good luck to both red and green teams.
Three Way Interviews
Three way Interviews are being conducted next week on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons as a way to start our learning conversations with students, parents and teachers to establish learning goals. Could parents please select a time via the link that suits them best. If you would prefer a different time please contact the school for this to be arranged with class teachers.

Vale: Doreen Holland
On a final note I would like to acknowledge the sad passing of Doreen Holland 30 December 2020. Doreen was involved at St Mary’s as a mother, a grandmother to Daniel and Thomas, a P & F representative, a special guest at awards night and a big supporter of the school & parish for over forty years. She will be sadly missed by family and friends. To eternal rest lay her soul.
Have a lovely week everyone.
Jannine
