Dear Parents and Carers,
Today brings the close of term 2 and mid-way point of the year. This term has been another wonderful term and our community has 'finished strong' as is the culture of St Mary’s.
Thank you to our staff and parents for participating in our parent teacher interviews this week. Although it is a big commitment, the interviews are a tremendously valuable opportunity to communicate student progress and enhance parent involvement in our student’s education.
I would like wish everyone in the St Mary’s community a restful holiday break and encourage all to maintain our mission statement of being compassionate, respectful, committed, resilient and courageous while away from the school.
Kind Regards,
Phil Nielsen
