8th September ~ Hadley Parer

Congratulations to Hadley who is very proud of herself for her tumbling efforts.  Hadley has been tirelessly training and practising at home working on her tumbling because she wanted to get better.  She has proven to herself and shown others how her dedication and perseverance can lead to achieving your goals and dreams.

Hadley recently competed in Melbourne for tumbling and won 3rd place.  Her efforts and belief in herself allowed her confidence to grow and perform with tremedous conviction.  Hadley is super proud of herself.  We may see more wonderful talents from Hadley in the future.

Well done Hadley!!

8th September ~ Thomas Parer

Congratulations to Thomas for being able to do a back bend and a front hand spring.  Thomas is proud of himself for two reasons.  One, he achieved his goal, and two, he did not quit.  He was determined to not give up and showed great persistance, resilience and tenacity to reach his end result.

Hadley helped to teach Thomas and with great listening and patience Thomas was VERY happy he stuck it out.  Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of the big picture but Thomas did not disappoint himself or quit and now has a party trick up his sleeve that will put a smile on everyone's face.

Well done Thomas!!

To celebrate student's achievements, we will be presenting children with Star Of The Week awards.  This is a self nominated award of something a student is proud of.  It could be something academic, sports related, or a personal achievement. Have you learnt to ride a bike?  Won 1st place in a dance competition?  Read a book by yourself?  Anything that makes you proud!

Forms can be found on the link below.

Wellington Athletics 

Congratulations to the 25 students who represented our school at the Wellington Level Athletics on Friday the 1st of September. Our students represented the school to a high standard and they should be proud of their efforts as the competition was tough. Well done to the following students who have been successful in reaching the Regional Level of Athletics which will be early next term:

Georgia Rawson 

Ryder Henry

Jess Rowley 

Imlay Pickalla  

Johnni Bramich 

Ben Murphy 

Summer Domaille

Elke Horsford  

Owen Crutchfield 

Last year we only had 3 students make it to Regionals, so this is an amazing effort, especially for a school of our size. We wish the above students all the best at the next level.  

Monday Twilight Soccer 

Next term St Mary’s will have over 40 students represent our school in the Monday Twilight Soccer Competition in Sale. We ended up having a great response so hopefully in the coming years, we can enter more teams. 

I will send out more information to the families involved as I am still waiting on draws and game times to be released. 

If your child is playing twilight, please make sure you have completed the registration form online using the following link.
