Welcome to Week 3. As always, we have a busy week ahead of us at St Mary’s. On Wednesday at 9:45 we will hold our Book Character Parade. This is always a highlight at St Mary’s and something we are very much looking forward to. The parade will be followed by open classrooms, a chance to check out your child’s classroom and an opportunity to visit our book fair and purchase books for your child. I look forward to seeing all the students dressed up. Many thanks to parents and grandparents for their help in organising costumes for the children.

Last week, our Religious Education Coordinator, Mrs Breust organised a lovely Mass for all the beautiful mums, nans and grandmas. This was a lovely celebration and a great way of thanking them for everything they do. I hope you were all spoilt on Sunday!!! Also, thank you to Stacey Smith and the community council for organising the Mother’s Day stall which was held at school on Wednesday.  

Over the next few weeks enrolments for kindergarten students for 2025 will open. If you know of any families in West Wyalong that are considering St Mary’s in 2025 for their child, please tell them to contact the front office.

This week, we will welcome Miss Lana Mortimer to St Mary’s. She will work as a Learning Support Assistant in Year 2. Students would be familiar with Lana from her work with us late last year and early this year. We trust Lana will enjoy her time with us and thank her for her commitment to St Mary’s.

Pictured below is our very own Miss Georgie McKelvie in Canberra. Georgie joined other Early Career teachers in the Canberra Goulburn Diocese for an induction Mass, important professional development and the opportunity to join with other Early Career Teachers for networking and reflection. We are so lucky at St Mary’s to have such dedicated and professional staff.

Remember my door is always open.
