Dear Parents,

As we move towards the end of the year, our students are preparing for the upcoming end of year concert to be held on Monday December 9 on the school oval. This will take the form of a “Concert on the lawn”, where families and extended familes are invited to come along and join together to share a meal and an evening of entertainment.

Our amazing Parents and Friends group are busy preparing for this exciting occasion, with a range of food on offer for families to purchase for dinner. They will be selling baked potatoes, a barbeque and many other exciting food items on offer. You are also welcome to bring your own picnic dinner to share. The idea is to have families bring a picnic blanket and sit together to enjoy a meal, starting at 5.00pm. At 6.00pm the food will be finished and packed away and the concert will begin. If the weather prevents us from having the concert on the lawn, we will be having the concert in the church and the Parents and Friends will still be providing dinner – we hope this will not be required but we need to assure you that all possibilities have been catered for.  

During the concert all classes will be performing a song and the whole school are performing songs as well. We continue to hope and pray that the weather is kind to us as we look ahead to a very special night for our school community. We hope you have all put this into your calendar as it will be a special way for all of us to gather together to celebrate the wonderful year we have had, and to celebrate the Christmas season.

Our first Foundation Transition Day went really well, with 44 new Foundation students and their families joining our school community next year. We know what a huge decision it is when parents are choosing the school for their children and we a proud that our school is the choice for so many lovely families. We look forward to welcoming these families to St Mary’s next year.

Kind regards
Lisa
