ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day falls at the end of the holidays on Thursday, 25 April. We invite all students to participate in the ANZAC Day events.

St Mary's students are invited to march and lay wreaths at this year's Crookwell, Grabben Gullen and Taralga ANZAC Day services.

Students participating in the Grabben Gullen event are to assemble at 9:00am within the grounds of the Grabben Gullen Community Hall.

Students participating in the Crookwell events are asked to assemble for the March in the RSL car park from 10.40am. The March will move down Goulburn Street to the Memorial Park for the ANZAC Day Commemoration Ceremony. Students remain assembled until this Ceremony concludes.

Our students who wish to participate in the Taralga March and Commemorative Service are asked to assemble at the northern end of the main street, near Taralga Public School at 2.30pm. The children will march down the street to the Cenotaph for the Commemorative Service and wreath-laying. After this, our assembled group will disperse before the Memorial Hall program. 

Students are required to come dressed in their full winter uniform.

Seeing many of our students at these special ceremonies would be wonderful.

Toys at School

We have recently noticed an increasing number of toys being brought to school. Please be aware that it is school policy that toys brought to school are the child's responsibility. The school does not take any responsibility for lost or broken toys.

We also request that toys that do not fit inside the student's bag not be sent to school. We have found that carting large toys to our play spaces is challenging for all students

Uniform Matters

As the term draws to close, uniform pieces accidentally get mixed up between students. Please check all your uniform items at home to ensure they belong to your family. Please ensure you have all your children's uniform items labelled.

Next term, the students are to wear their full winter uniform from the beginning of the Term. 

In preparation for the cooler months, you might order our school coat, a warm bottle green parka-style coat, from our Uniform Shop.  Bottle green gloves and beanies may be purchased elsewhere. 

Some other reminders about our school uniform- hair accessories must be in the school colours only, earrings must be sleepers and studs and no nail polish is to be worn to school.

School shoes must be black. Jogger-type footwear will not be accepted as school uniform.
