MacKillop Swimming Championships
We wish our squad of superstar swimmers: Chloe Buck, Sarah Webber, Kynan Burgess, Sam Presser, Harry Robinson, Rory Brodbeck, Ollie Orr, William Woods, Hannah Cusack & Ivy Murphy the very best of luck as they head for Sydney to represent the Canberra-Goulburn Archdiocese this Thursday at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. The students will compete in individual events as well as our Snr Boys & Girls Relay Team. What an amazing achievement to compete at this level! Go St Mary’s!!!
Cross Country for Kindergarten to Year 6
Our Cross Country will be held on Tuesday 28th March at the Young Golf Club. An information note was sent out via Compass in Week 6 and can be accessed here.
We would love some more parents to help out. The course is quite large and can be confusing for some students, so having people on checkpoints can be very useful. So we can ensure volunteers are not standing on these checkpoints for the entire morning, we need some more volunteers please! I am happy to organise your time so you do not miss your child’s finish. We love seeing so many parents attend our Cross Country and would really appreciate it if you could help us - even for half an hour! Please let me know via email if you can help. Thank you to the four parents that have responded so far - your generosity is invaluable.
Hopefully the weather will hold out and we will communicate any changes via Compass either before the day or on Tuesday morning if necessary. Please send us sunny weather vibes!!!

Happy Friday St. Mary's Parents,
Your children may have noticed that I have tried out a new type of pizza this week utilising a mini pizza base and topping it with fresh sauce, cheese and ham. If you have any feedback feel free to reach out. I know pizzas are a popular item.
I also trialled a garlic bread pizza (garlic bread topped with sauce, cheese and ham) that seemed to get enthusiastic positive reviews and you can look for it added to the menu for next term.
Next week on Thursday the 6th we have our Cheeseburger meal deal for $6.00.
You can order by returning the flyer that went home yesterday or by ordering on flexischools.
The meal deal includes a cheeseburger on a new type of brioche style bun that I am excited about trying out. Please note we can provide a vegetarian option which is now reflected on Flexischools alternatively please write vegetarian if you are returning the paper flyer.
I would love some extra helpers in the canteen next Thursday to help us get all our cheeseburgers ready please follow the link to our volunteer app:
https://app.getzelos.com/i/nxRsgjaJ or email me at jennifer.vorvis@cg.catholic.edu.au to sign up.
As a mother myself I know life is very busy and many of you work however I am aiming to have canteen helpers on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday each week. Even if you can only spare an hour between 10 and 11 am this would help me in the final push to get all the lunches packed up and ready to serve to the kids.
This week we did 40+ orders on Wednesday, 50+ on Thursday and over 90 lunch orders today, so extra hands make it all possible!
Thank you and look forward to meeting more of you in the canteen.
