Principals Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I would first like to thank the entire school community for how welcome I have felt in my first week in this new role. Walking into the school on my first day, I was blown away by how kind and enthusiastic the children were as they greeted me as they came back from holidays. That same enthusiasm can be seen through the learning taking place in each classroom as I walk around the school. It is fantastic to hear the buzz of learning and see the children so engaged. I must congratulate our wonderful staff for their dedication and passion toward the students and their learning which has allowed the children to continue to thrive. This is particularly impressive considering the changes in leadership which have taken place this year and I thank our staff for their continued commitment to the education of our students to allow such amazing learning to continue.
It has been great to be able to meet parents, guardians and families in the mornings and afternoons. Again, you have all made me feel very welcome and part of the St Mary’s community so I thank you. I encourage families to come into the school grounds in the mornings and afternoons. Please keep your eye out for some activities and events this term where we will welcome families into the school to meet and celebrate as a community.
Again, I welcome Bec Stobie to the role of PE Teacher and Sports Coordinator. It was great seeing the students running around, smiling and learning with Bec this week.
I wish all our community a great weekend and am looking forward to a great Term 3!
Kind regards,
Julian Blackford
