Are we there yet? Week 9 Term 3

happy stroll in meadow

 Good afternoon parents,


Welcome to Week 9...I can't believe how quickly this term has flown by and the end of the year is fast approaching! What a glorious weekend, all work was thrown out the window yesterday and some much needed recoup time was spent at the beach with our visitors! Really looking forward to the summer months ahead!


REMINDERS - WEEK 9 

Graduation Muck Up Photo -

This Thursday 17th September, we will be retaking our Graduation Muck Up photo at 1.40pm (straight after lunch). It is really important that you make sure your child is here for that part of the day. The students have been asked to wear their sports uniform with their leaver's t-shirt. They are also allowed to bring in a prop to use in the photo, can you please ensure the item that they bring is suitable to bring.


Mission Markets - 

These will be on Thursday 24th September. This is always a fantastic day celebrating the feast day of Mary's assumption. We will be celebrating a whole school mass at 10am and then we will move to our market time in which students can participate in a variety of activities.

The Year 6's will not be hosting a store this year (therefore no donations are needed), as their presence is required to help in the other stores. They will be rostered on for small sessions, allowing them to still go around and indulge at the stores.  It is always hugely popular and a great fundraiser!

Please know that all staff are very mindful of the amount of sugar consumed on this day and the amount of landfill that is produced!

Students are to bring in a small amount of money, no more than $10 in small coins please. A wallet or purse with their name would be ideal!

Please also see the request from Mrs King and Ms McFarlane about items to be donated for their stall.

Mission Markets Pre-Loved Stall

On the last day of school (Thursday the 24th of September) the children will be participating in our annual feast day - The assumption of Mary. The Year 2 children are running a pre-loved toy and game store and would love any donations such as:

  • Books
  • Soft & hard toys (clean)
  • Board games & puzzles, with all pieces

There will be boxes outside the 2M classroom for you to place your donations in. We thank you in advance for your donations 😊

Happy Holidays!

Good morning, We hope you are enjoying the beautiful start to the holidays. Whilst our end to the term was quite intense, we hope that the weeks of home schooling weren't too stressful on you all. I was so proud at how quickly the students adapted to the new situation and then produced incredible pieces of work.  I am currently working through all the marking: Narratives, Basil Presentations and Maths tests but from what I've seen so far there are some very pleasing results. All Maths tests completed and uploaded have been marked and your child's results can be found where they saved their test in OneNote. The results for the other two tasks will be saved in OneNote under 'Assessment Results' in the coming week for your child to view. Today you will receive an email with your child's Interim Report attached. Keep an eye out for this! With both Ali and I being at home working and educating our own children, we truly appreciate the amount of time and

Hello from Imogen & Tilly - Week 5 Term 2

Kaya, This blog has been expertly created by Imogen King and Tilly Hall, and I am sure you will agree that they have done a wonderful job.  Hope you all had a nice refreshing weekend with your friends and family! As the weather begins to get colder, we are reaching the end of Djeran and moving towards the wintery season of Makuru.  Good news...you’ll be starting to see less of the different types of snails ( probably eating your veggies in your garden!😂 ) and Shelducks paddling in lakes and pools of water... Interesting Fact!! If a Shelduck has a white ring around its eye, it’s a female (like the one below). CLASS FUN FACT: Did you know Sophie had a guinea pig with one ear because her chook pecked it off!!! ⭐⭐ Star Citizen Award ⭐⭐ Well done to Lexi Lepidi for receiving our 6R Star Citizen for Appreciation for Term 2. What an asset to the classroom she's become! We are always delighted by the maturity shesuses to show appreciation to those around her. You are consistently the fi

Good Evening All, It is with great sadness I say that this will be my final blog post for the year. I can not describe how incredibly proud of students and the leaders this group has become. They have worked hard, played hard and lead hard...what more could I have asked for! Thank you for the amazing support and care you have shown me throughout the year. The constant check-ins, the quick response to my endless requests and willingness to help in anyway has been both noted and appreciated throughout the year. Many thanks to our parent reps for making my job easy and communicating anything that needed to be done, I am so grateful. Whilst I don't think I deserve it, I am touched to have received a very generous voucher to Blue Manna from the class and a number of thoughtful gifts from other families. I am a softie when it comes to beautiful handwritten messages and it's the heartfelt cards that are playing on my emotional heartstrings, making me a blubbering mess (I don't thi
