On Monday, the staff had the opportunity to work with Libby Gorrie from COGLearn on our high-impact teaching strategies. Libby visited classes to view lessons and provided teaching staff with useful feedback.

The staff at St Mary's are continually committed to improving our practice in order to provide the best education for every student.

The School Explorers 

Last Friday our School Explorers Program resumed with our 'Make It', session led by Year Five. The students enjoyed an afternoon of painting, cutting, pasting, threading and making.

Our next session 'Swipe It' will be held tomorrow, commencing in the Library at 2pm.

Jeans for Genes Day

Tomorrow the staff and students will participate in the Jeans for Genes Fundraiser. Money raised through Jeans for Genes goes towards medical research to help discover treatments and cures for the 1-in-20 kids facing a birth defect or genetic disease. 

Students are to wear jeans with their sports uniform tops and joggers and are asked to contribute a gold coin donation, for this privilege. The money collected will be uploaded to our donation site. 

If you would also like to make a contribution please visit  https://fundraise.jeansforgenes.org.au/fundraisers/stmarysprimaryschoolcrookwell2583/wear-your-jeans 

Please help us support this vital research.
