Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Week 9. This week is a huge one with our much anticipated whole school concert on Thursday. The night will begin at 6pm with our awards followed by the whole school performance of Blue Ribbon Belle. I appreciate it is a late night, however, it is only one night of the year and we are hoping to be finished by 9pm. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes for such a night and I’d like to acknowledge that and say a huge thank you to all staff and students for their support.

Our “Thank You” morning tea was held on Tuesday in the hall. It was great to say thanks to those who have contributed to our fantastic school. We look forward to this support continuing in 2024.

The election of our student leaders for 2024 will take place on Wednesday from 9am in the school hall. All parents are welcome, after the speeches the students will return to their class for voting. 

I would like to formally congratulate Nickey Harland on her appointment to the Religious Education Coordinator position from 2024. I look forward to her joining the leadership team at St Mary’s. Staffing for 2024 is still being finalised. I thank you for your patience and look forward to announcing this in next week’s newsletter.

Please remember my door is always open.

Damian Collins

Assistant Principal
