We continue to pray for Josh Hanlon and his family during this difficult time.

Thank you, God, for the little things

that often come our way - 

The things we take for granted

but don't mention when we pray - 

the unexpected courtesy,

the thoughtful, kindly deed - 

A hand reached out to help us

in the time of sudden need -

Oh make us more aware, dear God,

of little daily graces

That come to us with 'sweet surprise'

from never-dreamed-of places.

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED MANY PARENT WWCC NUMBERS

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SUPPLY THE SCHOOL WITH YOUR WWCC CLEARANCE NUMBER.

All parents who volunteer at St Mary's for any activities will need to provide their Working with Children Check number to the school.  This includes those parents who help transporting other students to events.

You only need to apply for this clearance number once, it is free and valid for 5 years.

Once completed please supply your WWCC clearance number and date of birth to the school office.  We do not need to see any paperwork.  Please note that for Mrs Akehurst to verify your WWCC number she will also need to know your date of birth.

Some of our parents were able to attend the CYBER BULLYING session held last night.

They strongly recommend that all parents logon to cybersafetysolutions.com.au which has been certified by the Office of the eSafety Commissioner.

The fact sheets on this site are particularly useful.
