Dear Parents and Carers,

Term 3 has been another big term at St Mary’s. As the term comes to a close we maintain our commitment to learning with an attitude of finishing ‘strong’. Our staff have shown incredible commitment to our school, ensuring the teaching and learning of the students has been maintained at all times. I’m sure you will all join me in congratulating them for the work they have done in the second half of the term.

Term 4 is shaping up to be more stable for our teaching staff. I am pleased to announce the appointment of Miss Georgie McKelvie to teacher Year 2 for remainder of the 2023 school year. Georgie is in the final stages of completing her teaching degree and is currently a conditional teacher with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). Georgie is currently living in Temora and has achieved outstanding results in her university degree to date. I would like to welcome Georgie to St Mary’s and look forward to a fantastic term ahead.

I will have other staff announcements coming soon and I will communicate these when I’m legally able. I wish the entire school community a restful and safe holiday and hope the time is used to recharge the batteries ready for an always eventful term 4. Thank you for your ongoing support of St Mary’s.

Kind Regards,

Phil Nielsen

Principal
