Book Week

Thank you for organising your costumes, snuggling up and reading, cooking or buying cakes and joining in the spirit of Book Week last week. The children looked fabulous and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Thanks to Mrs Reid for organising an event filled week, from cake and bake, Snuggle Up and Read, book activities and the parade. Our 5/6 students also had an opportunity to lead younger students in exciting activities related to the books nominated for this year’s awards.

Centred In Learning Gathering – formerly known as Awards Assembly

This Friday we will affirm students for their contributions to our community, their effort and successes. All welcome – Holy Faith Hall at 9am.

Father’s Day Breakfast

A reminder breakfast is served from 8 am this Friday in the school courtyard. Thanks to parents of 3/4 Green who are organising this community event. $10 per family/$3 per person can be paid on the day.

I wish all fathers, father figures and grandfathers a happy Father’s Day on Sunday.

RSPCA Cookie Day

Congratulations to Riley Bransdon who successfully organised this fundraiser for the RSPCA, baked delicious choc chip cookies and sold them to our students on Monday. Her team of fantastic assistants included Elise, Leah, May and Kya. Thank you to our families who supplied the gold coins to allow their child to buy a cookie and donate to this worthwhile cause. Riley has raised $301.40 for the RSPCA.

Read-More-A-Thon

Thank you to all bookworms!!! We are a community of readers at STM and this is clearly evident from the number of enthusiastic participants and generosity of sponsors. We have raised $1245.10

Earn and Learn

Another example of a supportive community we have here at STM- we had so many Woolworths stickers which contributed to the school being able to order resources for coding club. Thank you.

Thank you to Mrs Neuifi and Mrs Tarleton who coordinated this. We also extend a warm thank you to families and parishioners who supplied the school with earn and learn stickers. Our School Community Council has generously agreed to support this initiative with fundraising contributions from our families. Please see Margaret Deerain’s School Council Chair Report in this newsletter.

Yours sincerely
