However, students must be dressed in either full summer or full winter uniform and not a combination of both. Wearing our school uniform fits into our new school value of Respect for Self and your support from home would be greatly appreciated. From the start of Term Four, all students must be dressed in full summer uniform. Please ensure your child has a school hat each day to wear whilst playing outside. St Mary s Got Talent This Friday at 12.00pm, all parents and friends are invited to join us in the Multi- Purpose Room for our concert. Students from the choir, uke group and each class group including our Little Kinders will all perform. Parents and Friends are then invited to stay at school as we have a picnic lunch on the school lawns from 1.00pm. Gayle Kennedy Workshop Next Monday, students in 3/4/5/6 will visit The Spot to work with renowned author Gayle Kennedy. The students will listen to some of her books and will work on writing techniques and strategies. Thank you to Mrs Steph Cattanach for her organisation of this event.
