Dear Parents and Carers,

Term 3 has seen a welcome return to St Mary’s operating as close to normal since the pandemic began in 2019. It was tremendous to have such a large contingent of our parent community visit the school for our book week parade. Our students and staff looked amazing dressed as their favourite book character and it was extra special to have our parents as an audience. Thank you to everyone for the huge effort you went to support our celebration of reading.

At this point in time Term 4 is shaping up to run with little to no restrictions in place. Students will return to school on Tuesday the 11^th October. The Year 5/6 Canberra excursion and end of year celebrations are all planned to go ahead as they normally would.

I would like to thank everyone for their contribution to our wonderful school this term.

St Mary's wishes everyone a safe and restful break over the next 2 weeks and we look forward to a busy and rewarding Term 4.

God Bless

Phil Nielsen
