P&F Update & Thankyou

The St Mary's P&F Committee successfully raised $450 by catering for last week's Morning Melodies at Cummins Theatre. A delicious morning tea for over 100 attendees was provided with donations of morning tea from every classroom. It was great to see so many families put up their hand to do some cooking or assist with the setup and clean up. This money will be put towards the purchase and improvement of the playground and sporting facilities accessed by St Mary's students.
