St Mary's 120th Anniversary Dinner Dance 

The difficult decision was made to cancel the St Mary's 120th Anniversary Dinner Dance, scheduled for Saturday night. This decision was not made lightly, but unfortunately, due to a lack of ticket sales, we were unable to proceed with the event as planned. We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment this may cause. We would like to thank those who purchased tickets; your support is greatly appreciated.

We remain committed to celebrating St Mary's 120th Anniversary and will do so as part of our Grandparents and Special Friends Day, scheduled for Friday 3 November.

Kindergarten, Year 1, Year 2 Excursion

On Monday, 23 October, our Kindergarten, Year One and Year Two students will go to the National Zoo and Aquarium for their annual excursion. Information has been sent out via the Compass Events. Please complete the online consent form and payment ASAP or contact Belinda for assistance if required. If you need financial support with this, please let me know.  

Mufti Day Fundraiser

On Wednesday, 25 October, the students may wear mufti clothing to school for a gold coin (or more) donation. This money will go towards a fantastic cause right on our doorstep. With the support of the Parish, Rob and Cathy Hunt, ex-St Mary's parents, are in the process of renovating the Convent residence to create a short-stop foster home for babies waiting placement. Currently, there is a shortage of home care positions in NSW. Cathy and Rob, along with the help from one of our mums, Tressa Mattox, have registered their charity organisation and need some assistance with some of the costs they are encountering.

On this day, the students can also buy a cupcake for $1.00 and/or sugar-free Zooper Dooper for $0.50 each.

Grandparents Day

On Friday, 3 November, we invite our parents, carers, grandparents and special friends to St Mary's to share our Grandparents Day. The day will commence with Mass at 9.30am. Following Mass, our visitors will move to the MP Hall for morning tea. After morning tea, our students will perform on stage. Given it is 120's years since the roots of St Mary's Primary School were planted, our theme is the 1900's. After assembly, visitors may have a look around our fantastic school facilities and visit classrooms.

Also, St Mary's is renowned for its incredible morning tea spreads; let us not disappoint this year. We ask families to donate a plate of food to share on this special day. Our Year 4 families, coordinated by Allison, Claire and Elise, are asked to support with the setting up and serving of morning tea.

Please mark this date on your calendar.
