Dear Parents,

Welcome to Week 3! A friendly reminder to please read the newsletter carefully each week, as it contains all the important dates and details you need to keep informed about school events and activities.

On Monday, we were delighted to welcome our 2026 Kindergarten students for their first full orientation day. It was wonderful to see their excitement and curiosity as they begin life at St Mary’s.

This Friday, we celebrate World Teachers’ Day. A special opportunity to acknowledge the dedication, passion, and care our teachers bring to their work every day. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact they have on our students and school community.

It is with sadness that we share the passing of Colleen Thomas, who worked in our front office for many years. Colleen was a lovely and highly organised member of the St Mary’s team who made a lasting impact during her time here. She will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew her.

A gentle reminder to please drive slowly and carefully when exiting the Church Street carpark. Visibility can be limited, and we want to ensure the safety of all our students especially our little ones who may be nearby. Thank you for helping keep our school community safe.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

As always, my door is open.

Principal

Damian Collins
