We were blessed with beautiful weather for the Winter Fun Day. The Years Three to Six students participated in a round robin of netball, soccer and football in faction teams. Each team was made of children from Years Three to Six. Mr Paul Reid also joined us for football in the afternoon. It was a lovely atmosphere and the students all had a great day! Thank you to Miss Walsh, Miss Montgomery, Mrs McDonald, Mrs Cooper and Mrs Criddle for organising and running the day!
As you will be aware the Premier recently announced Phase 4 easing of restrictions. The Phase 4 arrangements for St Mary's School will now enable:
+. The Uniform Shop to be reopened. The 2m2 rule must be adhered to in the shop space. Therefore, only the volunteer and one family are to be in the uniform shop at once while other families are waiting outside, ensuring they are maintaining the appropriate physical distance.
+. Parents to enter classrooms before and after school. Parents are asked to ensure that the 2m2 rule is being maintained with all other adults in the classroom environment.
School attendance is compulsory. However, if a child is unwell they should stay at home. Parents are asked to seek medical advice if students exhibit symptoms of COVID19.
The school canteen will continue to operate for recess only.
All cleaning regimes and personal hygiene practices and arrangements that are currently in place, will continue.
The students have all formed very good personal habits over the last term. We want to encourage our students to be confident, resilient and independent in all aspects of their lives. Those students who continue to carry their own bags and organise themselves for the day ahead are to be commended.
The staff have appreciated the additional time in the mornings, without interruptions, to prepare for the day and to get the students ready for a day of school. In the long run, this extra time can only be of benefit to our students.
Congratulations to the Crook Family (Alistair – Kindy) on the arrival of their baby sister and daughter Dulcie.
God Bless and have a lovely weekend with your families,
Ms Adriana Coniglio
Principal
Lord Jesus,
