At the end of last term, St Mary’s acknowledged National Sorry Day and reflected on NAIDOC Week when they returned to school this term.

Staff also used this theme in their professional development day last Monday.

On the last day of term two, St Mary’s students had collected 20 baskets of food and clothing for St Vinnies Winter Appeal.

Students from senior primary organised a disco for the primary students and collected a gold coin donation that was also given to the appeal.

Thanks to Imogen Cafasso, Madilyn Hager, Charlie Becks and Bella Carlin for organising the music and disco for the students.
