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.

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

ANZAC Reflection

PRAYER OF REMEMBERANCE

Lord God, help us this day to remember

the sacrifice of the first ANZACs, Australian

and New Zealander, and the generations

of men, women and children who have

died in the cause of liberty and peace.

Help us to remember those who still

bear the physical and mental scars and

disabilities of their service.

Help us to remember the widows,

girlfriends, parents and orphans and all

those who waited in vain for the return

of a loved one.

Help us to remember the mateship, agony,

courage and compassion of war service,

but save us from ever glorifying the horror

and tragedy of war.

Lord God, help us to remember.

Amen.

Weekly House Awards

Tomorrow Mrs Croker will host a HOUSE party for this term's winning house...LAWRENCE !!!!

It will be at 10:45am in the MP HALL/Art Room.

In the morning after assembly, we got our bags and walked to the front gate where we waited for the bus. The bus was number 15. When we got on we sat in the second row at the back. Up the back there was GUM EVERYWHERE, it was so gross it was on every seat except the ones up the front.

When we arrived at Trinity we hopped off the bus and walked up the steep hill. Then we put our bags down and went and sat down with all the other schools. There were a lot of kids. We got put into groups. I was in group 3 with Charlotte and Ollie. We also had group leaders.

The first class we did was History where we played a game called survivor. You had a folder with information in it and 3 hearts to survive in the sahara desert. Our team was slow writing the ideas down. Then Mrs Robinson the teacher said you have to take off the last 5 items so all our teams had was a power generator. We lost the game.

Then we all walked down to the great hall to have morning tea. It was all lined up and you got to get a piece of fruit, a muffin and a juicebox. We all sat and ate. After we were finished we lined up in our groups and went to the next class.

The next class was Drama with Mr Sykes. We played 3 games. The first one was called knife and fork. You have to walk around and then he would call out a number of people and an object they had to make with their bodies. The second game was where there are beanbags everyone sits on one then there is one spare. One person is in and tries to sit on the empty beanbag but all the people can run to another one to try and stop them. We played another game called Bang. You stand in a circle and the person that is in points at you and says bang so than you have to duck down while the people either side of you shoot each other the last person to say bang is out.

The next class was science. We got to put on goggles and white lab coats then we went with a group leader and put different chemicals and stuff onto other liquids. Then we played with this laser machine. We all sat down and someone put water and bubbles on their hands than someone got a lighter and lit the bubbles on fire! You could feel the heat at the back of the room. It was so cool! Then we made purple and yellow fire.

The next thing was lunch, they ordered domino's pizza. We all got 2 slices with a packet of chips and a water. It was yummy. 

We lined up again and went to the next class which was sport. We played a game called multisport. You have two teams and you line up both side. Then the sports teacher yells out either soccer or endzone then he chooses a number of people to run out and play it. We also did a basketball game.

It was very fun and I hope to do it again.
