TERM FOUR

Welcome back!

It is absolutely wonderful to welcome everyone back this week. We have been very fortunate to commence the term with no restrictions or regulations in place. 

The students started with a spring in their steps and smiles on their faces, and I have noticed that all classes knuckled straight down to work.

Please note the current dates for important events this term. 

Showcase of Learning

I would like to again publicly thank Kindergarten, Year One and Year Two and their teachers for a very entertaining and informative Showcase of Learning on the last day of Term Three. 

I was enthralled to hear about some of the History, Geography and English learning that has taken place in our infants' classrooms during the first three terms.  

Public Speaking Competition

On Friday 16 September we held our school public speaking competition. Those who presented did a fantastic job, with many clear, well-written, entertaining speeches delivered to the audience.  Congratulations to each student who represented his/her class.

A special mention to Angus Foley for being the inaugural People's Choice recipient for 2022.

The following students will represent St Mary's on Friday at St Bede's Braidwood in the Northern Region Public Speaking Competition. 

Year 3 -  Grace McCormack and Jacob Hogan

Year 4 - Charlotte Crosbie and Sophie Culley

Year 5 - Chloe Bensley and Addin Grove

Year 6 - Toby Charnock and William Millet

The students who are successful at the Northern Region level will then speak at the Archdiocesan Competition hosted virtually by St Anne's Temora, on Wednesday 26 October.

Fun Run

Don't forget the Term 4 P&F Fundraiser, the Crookwell Community Fun Run, will be held this Sunday 16 October. Your support of this event will be greatly appreciated.

New Chromebooks

This week Year Four have been the lucky recipients of brand new touch screen Chromebooks. Each student will have access to a Chromebook for their daily Rocket Math activities, research and other online tasks.

With this purchase, each of our Year Four, Five and Six students now have an individual device to support learning. 

Uniform

In term 4, students wear their summer uniform. There is a 2-week grace period to allow for cold weather. If opting to remain in the winter uniform, this must be worn in full and not blended with the summer uniform.  

Below is an outline of the summer uniform. All items must be purchased from the uniform shop.
