A Message from the Principal

Dear Parents, Families and Guardians,

We hope that all famlies were able to take time to honour Mums, Nannas and all women who provide nurture and care within families. May is traditionally the month in which we remember Mary the mother of Jesus. We pray that St Mary will bless all mothers as they carry out their work of “Love Above All”.  Thank you also to the wonderful volunteers who held the Mothers’ Day Stall during the week. Organised by the P & F, it was terrific to see some of this years prep mums along and volunteering; thank you!

We have seen some fantastic initiative by members of the SAT Team who have been working hard to offer engaging recess options for students recently! The students have now added a student led Craft Club and Driving Range as recess options. Craft Club was open to years 1-6 and the Driving Range offered to 5/6.  The smiles on the faces in these pics show that Craft Club was a huge success; thankyou to Charlotte and the team!

Facebook - St.Mary's Mt.Evelyn Parents Page
