SJMS Newsletter Week 4 Term 4 2018

Dear Parents and Caregivers

It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is just around the corner. In the last newsletter I alluded to the fact that this would be an action packed term. This past week has lived up to the billing!

Congratulations to the students who celebrated their Reconciliation last Tuesday.

Thank you to Mr Martin who did a wonderful job preparing Sports Day last Friday. The day was filled with excitement and many great moments. Congratulations to the MacKillop Team who won the John Partington Shield. While the Joseph Team did a wonderful job displaying team work and cooperation to win the Spirit Cup.

Dear Parents and Caregivers

Firstly, let me extend my thanks to you for your generosity towards the Walk a Mile in My Boots fundraiser earlier this term. We raised $255.50 for the Hutt Street Centre. This was a great total and the students obviously enjoyed spending time with their buddies on the day.

On Friday 2 November the Reception to Year 7 students, staff, family and friends gathered at Norwood Oval for the 2018 SJMS Sports Day.

Congratulations and thank you to everyone for a fantastic day!!

A special thank you to the Norwood Football Club for the beautiful venue and to Daniel for his support providing the sound system.

On Thursday 25 October the whole school walked to Borthwick Park to raise money for the Hutt St Centre.

We raised an amazing $255.50 for the Hutt St Centre!

Thank you also to Sydney who proposed the idea in an effort to help those less fortunate.

Dear Parents and Caregivers

It was wonderful to see so many happy faces at Sports Day, we would like to thank all the staff and students for making it such a wonderful day.

Face Painting - Mission Day

The P&F will be organising the face painting stall at Mission Day - Wed 14 Nov - again this year. We will need some parent helpers to help paint the children faces, there is no prior experience required. It’s always a popular stall so the more helpers the better.

On Wednesday 14 November we will celebrate our Mary MacKillop Mission Day as a whole school.

On this day we will come together to raise money for Mary MacKillop Today.

Mary MacKillop Today is a not-for-profit organisation that supports vulnerable people in Australia and Overseas by providing education and teacher training.

Save the date!
