Dear Parents,

As Week 11 quickly draws to a close, I want to thank the school community for the welcome I have received at St Mary’s. I feel very privileged to be a part of ‘our school community’ (as it now feels for me!) and look forward to the terms ahead. A big congratulations to our students and staff for their dedication and effort throughout the term. There has been so much participation and achievement in a wide variety of events and learning.

ANZAC Day

We look forward to ANZAC Day in Batlow, Students are asked to meet staff at 10.20am at the RSL carpark to march in full uniform. Please fill out the form below to confirm your child’s attendance.

Western Region Cross Country - WE NEED YOUR HELP!

As I have flagged in previous newsletters, Batlow will be hosting the Western Region Cross Country on Thursday 2nd May. This is a fairly big undertaking for the school and our community council. With the support of St Joseph’s, Adelong, we are running a canteen, a raffle, assisting with First Aid and standing at check points on the course. If you are interested in assisting with this, please fill out the attached form. This will assist both schools and their Community Councils with their organisation on the day.

As the Easter holiday period approaches, I encourage families to show safety and care, both for ourselves and others. Whether you're travelling or staying put, this break offers a chance to recharge and connect with loved ones, reflecting on blessings in our lives. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday!
