Today (Friday 8 February) marks the end of our first full week back at HT and St. Mary’s for 2019. Our assessment days last week were very successful and helped to give the teachers some good knowledge about where they can help support the students with their learning this year. One big change in 2019 is that all classes now straight grades which will be particularly different for the older levels of our school.

We have also had a lot of classroom changes including the year 4 classes moving over to where the art room and after school care used to be and the year 3 students moving in to the Amazing Space.

In addition, there has been some new ‘sound proofing’ curtains have been added to this space which are really helping with the students learning there.

  

Parent / Teacher meetings ran smoothly this week and today we all went over to St. Judes to celebrate mass as a parish community. We were lucky to also have recess where we got to play on St. Jude’s playground with all 3 schools together (St. Mary’s, St. Jude’s & Holy Trinity).

 

It’s hard to believe that we have only been back for a week.

Overall, it has been an ‘action packed’ beginning to the school year and it is great to see so many happy faces as we settle into 2019.
