St Mary's Bulletin

It was wonderful to see parents back dropping off and picking up their children at their classrooms this week!  Thank you to everyone for following the guidelines – it is much appreciated!

There is a large collection of lost property growing – especially jumpers and jackets.  If you have missing items please check the lost property box next time you are at school.

The delivery of teaching and learning at St Mary’s School has been severely disrupted by COVID19 and adjustments have been made to reporting requirements to reflect this.  The SCSA website has more information around this for parents and caregivers at:  https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/curriculum-assessment-covid-19/for-parents-and-the-community

The Semester One report: 

·   will include information about the general learning progress of students to date.

·   does not require reporting student achievement using a five-point scale (A, B, C, D, E or an equivalent)

·   should include information regarding affective domains

·   should demonstrate a students’ performance in relation to their peers

Teachers at St Mary’s School have been working hard to prepare the students’ reports and these will go home with the children on Monday, 29 June.

St Mary’s School is now on Instagram.  You will need to download the Instagram app if you do not already have it.  You can either search St Mary’s School Merredin or use our handle @stmarysschoolmerredin to see what we have been getting up to at school!  Make sure that you like the posts and share these with family and friends so that they too can see the great things we get up to at St Mary’s School.

The playgrounds re-opened this week for students to use during recess and lunchtime. They are cleaned each afternoon ready for the following day, so if you could please refrain from letting children use them after school it would be greatly appreciated.

Please wear your favourite scarf and beanie on Monday. Bring a gold coin donation with all proceeds going to LifeLink.

God Bless and have a lovely weekend with your families, 

Ms Adriana Coniglio

Principal and,
