Modified Swimming Carnival
I would like to thank all of the students who participated in our modified swimming carnival in Yass on Monday. The students demonstrated terrific sportspersonship. Swimming all strokes over the 50-metre distance certainly challenged many of our swimmers however not one child gave up, they all achieved their very best on the day.
Congratulations to the following swimmers, who will be representing St Mary's at the Northern Region Carnival in Queanbeyan on Friday.

I would like to thank Rachael Croker, our carnival coordinator, Linda Walsh and all of the parents who offered their support on the day. The carnival could not go ahead without your help.
P&F Meeting & AGM
Our Term One Parents and Friends (P&F) Meeting and AGM will be held next Tuesday night at 7pm in the Staffroom. All families are invited to attend. At this meeting, our Executive Committee will be elected and the 2021 events will be scheduled.
School Banking
It was decided unanimously at the School Board Meeting on Tuesday night that we would no longer be supporting the Commonwealth Bank school banking program. Whilst we all agree that learning to save and banking is an excellent educational activity for children, we are unable to support, advertise and promote one individual institution.
We are very fortunate in Crookwell to still have a fantastic Commonwealth Bank Branch, with accommodating staff, so visiting the bank teller will also be a great learning experience for your child.
School Banking is also very time consuming for our sole Office Manager, Belinda. It is often a challenge for her to complete this task within her paid work hours.
Thank you for your understanding of this matter.
