St Mary's Bulletin

Welcome Back to Term Two!  It was lovely to have some children back at school on Wednesday and I am looking forward to welcoming even more back on Monday.  It has been wonderful to see all the students engage with their learning whether at home or at school!  St Mary’s is slowly starting to come back to life in what is a challenging time for everyone – the staff and I are really looking forward to the day when all the children are back at school!

A reminder to those families that are returning on Monday.  If you have collected your child’s pack from school please ensure that the pack comes back to school as the children will have to use the resources at school. 

Also, parents and caregivers are not permitted on school property other than to drop off or pick up their children, at which time they must not exit their vehicle. 

· If parents and caregivers are walking their children to and from school, they should undertake their drop off or pick up at the gate that bus students access.

· PK-Pre-primary students are to enter the Early Years space via the side gate – a staff member from each year level will be waiting at the gate to collect children and bring them to class.  If these families have siblings in Year One to Six, the siblings can enter the school via the front steps.

· Year One to Year Six children are to use the back car park for pick up/drop off before and after school. 

· Parents/caregivers coming to school throughout the day to drop something off, collect a child for an appointment, etc will need to notify the office and a staff member will escort your child to the car, collect your items from you for your child, etc.

Whilst ANZAC Day would have been commemorated a little differently this year due to COVID19 restrictions we too, as a whole school were not able to acknowledge and remember the sacrifice that the ANZACS made for us over 100 years ago at Gallipoli.  Instead this year, teachers acknowledged the day with their own classes.

All students are expected to be in their winter uniform for Term Two and Three.  I understand that due to the constant changes with COVID19 parents may not have had time to order (or even think about) winter uniforms.  Therefore, to enable families to organise their winter uniforms there will be a two week transition period and all students must be in the correct winter uniform for the start of Week Three (Monday, 11 May). 

Winter Uniform for Years One to Six students is as follows:

GIRLS’ WINTER UNIFORM

• Black lace up leather type shoes 

• White socks with no logos or Grey stockings 

• School skirt 

• White shirt with maroon logo 

• Formal maroon jumper with gold logo 

BOYS’ WINTER UNIFORM 

• Black lace up leather type shoes 

• Grey socks with no logos 

• Grey school pants 

• White shirt with maroon logo 

• Formal maroon jumper with gold logo

KINDERGARTEN AND PRE-PRIMARY WINTER UNIFORM:

• School tracksuit with sport uniform. 
  

God Bless and have a lovely weekend with your families,
