Breakfast Tomorrow
The staff and students of St Mary’s would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the amazing mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and special women who play such an important role in the lives of our students. To show our appreciation, we warmly invite you to join us for a special breakfast and cuppa tomorrow morning, starting from 7:45am. You’re welcome to grab a quick takeaway or stay a little longer to enjoy a chat and connect with other families—student supervision will be available from this time.
If you think you’ll be attending, please let us know by completing the Google Form (click the link). But don’t worry if you can’t RSVP—there’ll be plenty to go around, and we’d love to see you either way!
Thank you
I would like to extend an enormous thank you to our incredible School Community Council and the wonderful parent helpers who generously gave their time and energy to assist with the hosting of the Western Region Cross Country last week. Your support, organisation, and warm hospitality made the event a great success and a memorable experience for all involved. We are so grateful to have such a dedicated and enthusiastic school community!
Sacramental Preparations
As members of our school community prepare for upcoming special sacramental celebrations, we keep them in our thoughts and prayers. May this be a time of deep faith, joy, and spiritual growth for all involved. Keep an eye out for further information regarding our Mass next Thursday 15th May.
Sporting Schools Tennis Program
We’re excited to kick off our Sporting Schools Tennis Program tomorrow! Students are reminded to wear their sports uniform for the day. Tennis racquets will be provided, so there is no need to bring your own. We’re looking forward to a fun and active start to the program!

What a busy start to the Term! Last Friday, we hosted, in conjunction with St Joseph's in Adelong, another successful Western Region Cross Country event. Almost 300 students were competing, and we could not have been blessed with a better day! A big thank you to all the parents who volunteered and helped put on the day; your contribution to our school is much appreciated. I would also like to say a big thank you to Father Joe, who came up to the carnival to support our students and blessed the carnival with a prayer before it started.
A the time of writing this newsletter, the Vatican Conclave is meeting and working together to elect our new Pope. May they be guided by God in this important process. Hopefully, next week we will know who will be our new spiritual leader for all Catholic people around the world.
Next Thursday will be a very special day for our school and some of our students. Poppy, Lacey and Mackenzie Garner will be celebrating their Baptism.
Scarlett Flenley and Maddison Galvin will celebrate their Reconciliation, and Mackenzie, Lacey and Scarlett will also celebrate their First Holy Communion.
I would like to invite all of our St Mary’s families to this special Mass commencing at 12.15. At the conclusion of Mass, we will gather for cake and refreshments as a community.
May
The month of May is a special time for Catholics to honour the Blessed Mother Mary - our St Mary’s school patron saint.
In May, we celebrate Mary, our Mother, and just as importantly, we also celebrate the wonderful mothers in our lives on Mother’s Day.
I hope all of our St Mary’s mothers, grandmothers, aunties and honorary mothers have a very special day this Sunday.
May your day be filled with peace, love and joy whilst you are surrounded by loved ones.

You can grab a quick takeaway feed/cuppa and depart (supervision will be available for students at this time) or hang around to chat with families and enjoy the company of others.
