Passion Play

Our Passion Play was a wonderful blessing for all of us as we moved into our Easter break.
   

Maths Learning

St Mary's Maths PD with staff, parents and lessons with students last Monday and Tuesday was very successful. The 5/6 students were all treated to a lesson on Place Value using decimals and fractions and they played with our decimat cards. Year 1 Joy used Leonie’s new coloured counting beans to do some number busting.

Thank you to parents who came along on Monday night for Leonie’s parent session. They certainly didn’t go away disappointed and lots of fun was had!

Thank you Leonie Anstey for all your input, modelling and great ideas to ensure mathematics is engaging and differentiated at St Mary’s. 

For those parents who were unable to attend but want some ideas please go to Leonie’s Facebook page, via this link.

Assembly

Our weekly award winners for the start of term 2.

ANZAC Day 

St Mary's students and teachers took part in the ANZAC Day march on Sunday.  It is very important for our school community to commemorate the sacrifice of Australian and New Zealand troops who have died during war and celebrate the profound legacy left by these soldiers that is still commemorated to this day.

There was a big turnout of our students and parents, with the winter uniforms and ties looking very smart.  Our two school leaders, Charlie Murdoch and Amelia Alchin layed a wreath on behalf of the school.

New quadrangle

Our new quadrangle is now being used for morning assembly and games during recess and lunch.  The children are very excited to have handball back on the agenda!
