Dear Parents and Carers,

As we approach the end of Term 1, it is wonderful to stop and reflect on another positive period for St Mary’s. As I mentioned last week, our teachers have made significant steps to ensure High Impact Teaching Practices are evident in our classrooms. Our dedication is being recognised by everyone in the CECG system. I’ve recently had a school reach out from the South Coast to come and see the great work we are doing so they can take the approach back to their school.

The end of Term 1 sees the start of Mrs Bree Taylor’s maternity leave as she slows down and rests before the arrival of her first child. On behalf of the St Mary’s community, I would like to wish Bree and her husband Bradon all the best with their pending arrival and look forward to meeting ‘baby Taylor’ in the not too distant future. I am still not in the position to announce Bree’s replacement, however I can say that a teacher has been offered the position and the contract process has begun.

I’d like to wish all the St Mary’s community a safe and joyous break over the Easter period and look forward to everyone’s return on Monday 24 April.

Kind regards,

Mr Nielsen
