Events like these are a great way to inspire students to learn about the impact of rubbish on their local environment and how each person has the power to make a difference!

Father Peter visits Prep

Today Father Peter visited the Preps. He talked about a number of stories involving Jesus. The Preps also reminded him of some stories too. He taught them a new song which was thoroughly enjoyed.

The Preps also taught Father Peter a couple of songs and showed him how to say the St Mary’s School prayer. It was terrific to see Peter at school this morning. Next week he is coming back to see the Year One classes.

Prep Hello Hour

Our Prep Hello Hour was an opportunity for some of our 2021 Prep students to get to know a little more about St Mary's with their parents. They participated in outdoor and indoor activities with our Prep students, while their mums and dads looked around the school. At the end of the tour, they all joined the Year 4 class for a music lesson with Mrs Hoban. Some were not impressed when they had to go!
