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

As this is the last newsletter for the term, it is a good time to thank all of the people who have helped us to enjoy such a successful and busy term. To all of the wonderful supporters who help on outings and camps, coaching, attended meetings, serve on committees, and help out in the classrooms, thank you for giving up your time and energy to support our school.
Road Safety


Road and traffic safety especially at the end of the day continues to be a major concern. We still have people: leaving their vehicles in the drop off zone between 2.30pm and 3.30pm, people driving too fast on the school driveway, people double parking, parking in mobility areas (when they are not entitled to) or parking in no parking areas. As a one off these things may not seem a big deal but we need to remember that we are a school and that young children are impulsive and don’t always think before they act, so we need to err on the side of extreme caution to ensure that all of our pupils stay safe.

One accident is one too many and one that will effect all involved for the rest of their lives. So please while it may slightly add to your pick up time, obey the rules as mentioned above.

Have a great week

Mike Brosnahan
