St Mary's is excited to have a new baby in our school community. Lauren and Mark Manchur were blessed with a baby girl Zoe Madeleine born on Tuesday the 26th of July. A new sister for Nicholas. Congratulations!
St Mary's says thank you to our parents who took the time to arrange and participate in Parent Teacher interviews. It is very important for parents to be informed of their child's progress at school.
St Mary's would like to thank Evolution Mining for their very generous donation of a defibrillator.
A defibrillator is a device that uses electricity to re-start the heart or shock it back into its correct rhythm.
It is used when someone has a sudden cardiac arrest. This is when the heart suddenly stops pumping.
The defibrillator analyses the heart rhythm and decides whether an electric shock is needed.
Each year, more than 30,000 Australians suffer a cardiac arrest. If it happens outside a hospital, their chances of surviving are less than 1 in 10.
Giving the person immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and using an AED early on can greatly increase their chances of survival.
