Week 10 Reminders

27 Jun 2022

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a couple of reminders for our final week of Term 2.

The Stage Two (Year Three and Year Four) Showcase of Learning will be presented to our parents and friends in the Old Hall on Friday 1 July at 12.15pm. Please note the newsletter originally had this listed as 12.30pm, sorry to create confusion about this.

I would like to thank you for your support in keeping your unwell children at home. At the moment there are a lot of contagious illnesses in our region. In order to maintain the health of our staff and students, we request that you continue to be stringent with this.

As you would be aware there is a planned combined Teacher's Federation Union and Independent Education Union Industrial Action day on Thursday 30 June.  St Mary's will only have minimal staff available for supervision on that day. If you require supervision for your child, please contact the School Office (48321592) by tomorrow, at the latest.

Regards,
Sarah Lowe
Principal

School Operating with Minimal Supervision Thursday 30 June

School Operating with Minimal Supervision Thursday 30 June

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am writing to provide an update regarding the combined Protected Industrial Action that is occurring on Thursday 30 June.  

St Mary's will be operating with minimal supervision on Thursday.  Normal classes will not be able to run. Given that we will only have a small number of staff onsite, I am requesting that you make alternative arrangements for your children. If you are unable to arrange alternative supervision please contact the office by Tuesday afternoon. In the event that too many students need to attend school and our duty of care cannot be met by the number of staff available, I may have to recommend to the Director that the school closes for Thursday 30 June. If this is the case, I will let you know this by Tuesday afternoon.

Kind regards,

Mrs. Sarah Lowe

Principal

We provide your school with a list of sibling orders right up to the day of photography, so no one misses out.

Sibling photographs only apply to children enrolled at your school. Please note not all schools offer sibling photos

Athletics Carnival

07 Jun 2022

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have been notified by the Upper Lachlan Shire Council that Todkill Oval is closed this week due to the wet and snowy weather and therefore, once again, our Athletics Carnival has to be postponed. We have made the decision to hold our carnival in Term 4, so that the children can benefit from the experience and families can enjoy being part of this fun day. Event ribbons and age champion points will be awarded at this carnival, as per usual.

To select a team to represent St Mary's at the Northern Region Athletics carnival next Friday 17 June, the Year 2 to Year 6 teachers will take their class to the Bottom Oval, during breaks in the weather, to participate in 100m, 200m, 800m running events and shot put, long jump and discus field events. We ask that students wear their sports uniform on Thursday 9 June and we recommended that you pack a spare pair of dry shoes on this day. Kindergarten and Year One students are also invited to wear their sports uniform on this day.  Students may also be asked to bring their joggers to school on Tuesday if their teacher requires more time to complete the trials.

If your child is successful in qualifying for the Northern Region Carnival you will receive a note with the relevant details.

We thank you for your patience and understanding in regard to this matter; the weather has certainly been against us.

Regards,
Sarah Lowe
Principal
