End of Term One

As we end the first term, I want to take a moment to thank each of our staff and students for the hard work you've put in over the past few months. I am so proud of all that we have accomplished together.

To our incredible staff, thank you for your dedication to our students. You have all worked tirelessly to deliver engaging and challenging lessons, and your efforts have not gone unnoticed. You have truly made a positive impact on the lives of our students.

To our amazing students, thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to learning. You have continued to strive for excellence. Your hard work and positive attitudes are inspiring.

And to our supportive parents, thank you for your partnership and encouragement. Your involvement in your child's education has been invaluable and has contributed to their success.

I would like to wish you all a relaxing autumn break. Please enjoy each other's company and find time to do something that makes you happy !!! 

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Edwards!

Our heartfelt congratulations to Mr James Edwards and his new wife, Harriette. By all accounts, it turned out to be a beautiful day in Robertson and James, Harriette and their family and friends enjoyed celebrating their nuptials. We wish them a lifetime of happiness and love.

Crookwell

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.

Taralga

Students participating 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.

Seeing many of our students at these special ceremonies would be wonderful regardless of whether you have or have not responded to the Compass request.

Uniform Matters

The uniform shop will be open Monday 29 April from 12.00pm-3.00pm and Tuesday 30 April 2.00pm-3.00pm

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.

Sharman Hampson

My name is Sharman Hampson and I have been part of the Marymead CatholicCare Student and Family Counselling team since August 2020. I have worked in various schools in Canberra as well as some of our regional schools as a student and family counsellor.

For the last 13 years, I have worked extensively in Canberra and Queanbeyan supporting families, children and young people as a Social Worker in a variety of community organisations including Barnardos, Headspace and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).

Before joining Marymead CatholicCare I supported women in addiction within a Drug and Alcohol service. Not only was I intensively supporting women to learn new skills to help in their recovery but also supporting their children.

I am excited to be at St Mary’s this year and be part of the school community, I will be here every Wednesday. If you have any questions about school counselling and the service, please do not hesitate to contact me through the school. If you would like to refer your child, please use the link below
