Dear Parents, Caregivers and Friends of St Mary’s School,

I was thrilled to see in the paper yesterday so many of our pupils pictured taking part in the Weetbix kids triathlon.

It is always great to see events where families can get together and support each other in a challenging, healthy and life affirming way.

We have so many events that are based around schools, clubs and representative teams that it is great to see an event where children can see their parents in a leadership and support role.

This Sunday is the PTA morning tea and games event, after family Mass.

This is a new event and one that promises to be a lot of fun, so please try to be there.

Over the next few weeks the children in the middle and senior school will be taking part in our annual PAT testing programme. This process gives us excellent information on where your child is with regards their learning, and what we and you can do to facilitate their future learning. As with all things we achieve

better results when we work together.

Have a great week

Mike Brosnahan

Principal
