Open Morning

As summer comes to an end and we are experiencing some very hot days, students will remain in their classroom at break times when the temperature is over 36C. It is important that all students have a full bottle of chilled water brought to school. Students can refill their bottles throughout the day from our chilled water stations.

It is with much regret that I inform our school community that Rhiannon Musgrove (OSHC Director) is leaving our service and moving back to Victoria for personal reasons. She will be sadly missed by all students and their families. We thank her for all she has done in making our OSHC such a vibrant, welcoming place and wish her all the very best for the future. 

We are currently finalising a replacement for Rhiannon.

If you have any uniforms in fairly good condition that are not of use anymore, please consider donating them to the second hand uniform shop.  This service has been very popular, however we are low on small sizes.  Please place any uniforms in a bag and label them "Attention Nives Grgic" and leave them at the Front Office.  The second hand uniform shop is located in the Canteen and is open from 8.45am to 9.30am on Tuesdays.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to use the Skoolbag App to keep up-to-date with everything that is happening at St Martin's.
