We are welcoming new enrolments for the 2024 school year.

Please enrol online before the 4th of August, however late enrolments are always accepted, at our website with the link below - https://smwms.nsw.edu.au/enrolment

If you require further information please call the school office.

All parents now have access to student reports that were made available through the Compass App on Friday the 23rd of June at 3:30pm.

With winter well and truly upon us it is timely to remind everyone about our Winter Uniform expectations.

This is taken directly from the school's uniform policy. It is expected that all items of the uniform are worn appropriately and kept in good order. Students uniforms should present as clean and tidy. For health and safety reasons hair is to be worn tied back if longer than shoulder length. Hair adornments must be in a colour scheme that matches the uniform and kept to a minimum. Jewellery is also to be kept to a minimum.

Please remember that ties should be worn at all times to and from school. Top buttons need to be done up and ties need to be worn appropriately. If hair is longer than shoulder length it needs to be tied back. 

Thank you for your assistance.

    

Zahli Cattle, James Dean, Jack Connellan, Piper Hoye, Ava Bales, John Patton, Charlie Hague and Amelia-Rose Blampied

We hope you enjoy your special day.

   

REGISTRATIONS 

CLOSING FRIDAY 28th of JULY

This year the UNSW ICAS assessments are online and will be held in August.

Participation in these assessments is at parents discretion.  There is no obiligation for your children to sit these assessments as they are not used in the schools reporting.

The ICAS assessments are suitable for students wishing to extend themselves academically and take up the personal challenge of competing in an international assessment.  Your child will be presented with high-quality, expert-developed questions, allowing them to apply their learning without the need for prior study or revision.  Every student will receive a printed certificate and an online result report. Top performers will be eligible for medals and are invited to attend special award ceremonies to have their academic excellence publicly recognised.

All registrations and payment for 2023 are to be done online
