Responsibility
-->

Our concept this term is 'community'.  There are responsibilities that come with belonging to any community.  Our school community has certain responsibilities too.  We are responsible for working hard and listening in class. We are also responsible for looking after each other and our belongings. We have been a very disappointed at the state of our classroom resources, bag areas and bathrooms recently. Please encourage your child to put clothes and activities away tidily and put their rubbish in the bin.  It would also be appreciated if you spoke to your children about bathroom hygiene.  We would rather not go into details but, needless to say, our poor cleaning team are quite upset and are surprised at the lack of respect shown by some children. Thank you for your support.

Thursday
Union meeting
School closes at 12:30 today so allow staff to attend a union meeting.  Buses will be running as usual.  If you are likely to have trouble collecting your child by 12:30 a written note, or email, will be required please. 
 
Friday: 
St Josephs Day Mass
St Joseph is a very special Saint - especially to us here at Saint Marys.  It was the Sisters of Saint Joseph that started our school a long, long, long, long time ago.  Sister Carina, our very own living Saint, is a Sister of Saint Joseph, too (no, she wasn't one of the sisters that started our school).  Saint Josephs Day is a very special day for Sister Carina.  Come and help her celebrate at our school Mass.

Junior Athletics Day
11-12:30 on the school field.  We will run, jump and throw and have a heap of fun.  You are most welcome to come and cheer on our athletes (beware - you may be given a job).  Children will need their PE gear and a named bottle of water.

Golden Time
It's going to be a loooong day, so this week the Year 2 crew are having movies for Golden Time.
