Dear Parents,

This week is Book Week for us at St Mary’s!

Book Fair

The Book Fair is set up in our Library and students have already compiled their wish list!. Some are quite long! Under current Level 3 restrictions parents may enter the school to view and pay for any items by  booking a time (contact the front office staff 69491270) preferably before or after school. Parents will need to wear a mask, QR code on entry, and show proof of their double vaccination status. Our front office staff can also assist if you are not able to get in to school this week. Just give them a call for more information. Thank you for your understanding.

Book Week Parade

Our parade of book characters will be held this Friday at 9:00am. Some students have been waiting for the opportunity to dress up since as their favourite character for months. It is always a fun celebration of literature and Ms Murray, our Librarian, will  let us know the winners of this year recipients of the Children’s Book Council Australia awards. 

End of Year Dates

With some restrictions easing, but not all, our end of year dates have had to be changed. Our awards evening is not permitted so we have adjusted to the following.

Thursday 9 December  Thanksgiving/Graduation Mass at 10am in the Church. Parents of Year 6 students permitted followed by a morning tea.

                                          then

Awards Day at 11:30am held outside and we will record the Awards Day for parents to view at a later time for their convenience.

Whilst not ideal, this arrangement meets NSW Gov’t guidelines and still permits us to celebrate our students achievements for 2021. Once again, thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Have a lovely week everyone.
