Student sports reports Softball.
On the 26th of August, the Softballers participated in the Summer Sports, which were held at Gilbert Park, Ferntree Gully. The girls won their first game 0-7 against St Bernadette’s and we won our second game 0-9 against Knox Park. In our last game, we drew 4-4 with Bayswater South.
Altogether it was a great day and we all had fun!
The boys and girls are also going through to the district finals which is in two weeks.
The Preps and Prep families enjoyed a reverent and peaceful morning remembering Mother Mary.
Monday the 15th August was the feast of Mary’s Assumption. The Assumption means that Mary was taken up into heaven not only with her soul, but also with her body.
Thank you Preps and families for joining us.

On Tuesday, all of the Grade 1/2 students participated in rotations to create different pieces of playground equipment. There were 4 rotations; See-saws with Mrs Campbell, tunnels with Miss McGing, swings with Mrs Capron and round-abouts with Miss Ryan. The focus of these rotations was how to be innovative, creative and work effectively in groups. Everyone had a wonderful time creating their playground equipment and can’t wait to design and create their own, over the coming weeks.
Last Friday Rosemary (Our Wonderful School Crossing Lady) had her last day serving the HT & St. Mary’s Community as our crossing lady. She has been been keeping hundreds of children (and adults) in our community safe whilst crossing Riddell Road going for 8 years. Rosemary always greeted our families with a friendly smile (rail, hail or shine) and will be sadly missed in our community. We wish her all the best for the future as she spends more time with her family.
On Friday May 6 the mothers of our community gathered together to share a very special Mother’s Day breakfast. The Community Space was redesigned into a restaurant arrangement together with the round tables, cake and white table clothes. We had a huge turn out of mothers which helped to make the day even more special.
Afterwards each class shopped for their precious mothers and we are very lucky to have so many very talented mothers in our community to make all this wonderful stuff.
We hope all of our Mum’s have a very special Happy Mother’s Day!!
