Dear Parents and Carers

We have had such a busy and very exciting couple of weeks at St Mary’s. While our focus is always on learning and expanding our knowledge, these past weeks have enabled our students to challenge themselves with a wonderful display of music and performance.

Recently we had Andrew Chinn at our school. Andrew is a fantastic singer and performer who spent the day with the children, teaching them songs and preparing them for a concert in the afternoon. Parents and families joined us in for the concert. This was a wonderful day and one that the children, their parents and the staff thoroughly enjoyed. It was definitely a great example of our faith in action.

We are so proud of our recent production, ‘Circus Oz Spectacular!’ As a school community, we are so proud of the way the students learned their songs and lines, committed to their performance and came to both of our production sessions and gave their very best to their performances both individually and as a class. The feedback from the night has been so positive, with the production clearly creating a great buzz of excitement throughout the school community. It is so exciting to share these special occasions and to watch what it means to our students to perform in front of their families and friends.

I take this opportunity to thank our wonderful staff at St Mary’s. We recently celebrated Teacher Appreciation Day and have just had World Teachers’ Day. These days remind us of the gift that our teachers and all of our staff are to our St Mary’s school community.

The dedication, kindness, care, support, expertise and high quality teaching our staff provide to every child in our care makes St Mary’s such a wonderful school and a great place to be. The Director of DOSCEL, our governing body, has sent a video to thank the staff in our schools. 

Kind regards
