Good morning and welcome to the week, We have continued our fantastic start to the term and I am very impressed with the way the students are working. I will be very sad to pass them off! REMINDERS St Mary MacKillop School Visit  - This week on Thursday 3rd November at 9am the students will listen to a presentation from the Year 7 Co-ordinator Mrs Katrina Grylls and Ms Emma King. This presentation gives them an introduction to what they can expect as they transition to high school next year. All students will attend even if they are not attending St Mary MacKillop next year.
