Dear Parents and Carers, 

Our annual satisfaction survey of parents, students and staff is currently being conducted on behalf of all Catholic schools in the Diocese this term. The surveys are designed to gather feedback from parents, staff and students about our school and will be used to inform school improvement. Responses are confidential, and individuals cannot be identified. 

As a school we are constantly striving for improvement. I feel very blessed to be working with such a dedicated and hard-working staff. I also feel privileged to have such a supportive and engaged parent community. Recent evidence of this has been through our future enrolment numbers. I also see and hear the joy and happiness in our students who love coming to school and participating in the day to day life of the school.

The surveys were launched via email on August 20 and close on August 31, 2018 using the email addresses supplied to the school. If you do not receive an email with a link to the survey on 20th August, please email or contact the front office.

This survey is very important to us. We would appreciate you completing the 10-minute (maximum) survey, especially if you are happy with the school and your child’s education.

Book Week

We have had a wonderful Book Week so far. The cakes looked (and tasted) amazing – thanks to the 5/6 parents for assisting with this! “Snuggle Up and Read” last night was lots of fun and we can’t wait for the Book Character Parade on Friday! Thanks to Liz French, our Teacher Librarian, for all her organisation.

Denim for Drought Relief

Thank you for supporting the farmers in this time of drought through your donation to the St Vincent de Paul Drought Appeal. STM raised approximately $624.80.

Consultation for Women of the Archdiocese  

On Saturday 8 September 2018 women from across the Archdiocese are invited to gather from 10.00am to 3.00pm at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, Blackall Street, Barton to share their story of faith with other women. The occasion will be an opportunity for women to name their reality, concerns and dreams for the Church in a safe and supportive environment. It will be an opportunity for women to shape a response to the listening sessions for the 2020 Plenary Council. To register your interest: Jacinta (02) 6201 9861 or catholic.women@cg.org.au

Yours sincerely,

Julie Wiley
Principal.
