Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
School finishes Wednesday 16th December 2020 at 1.00pm with the ‘STM Guard of Honour’. Dismissal will occur at approx 1.15pm. For those who cannot be picked up at this time, supervision will be provided until the usual dismissal at 2.40pm.
The traditional ‘STM Guard of Honour’ will take a different format this year due to COVID-19 restrictions. This year the Guard of Honour will commence at 1.00pm with school dismissal occurring at 1.15pm. K-5 students will line up around school. Year 6 will walk through line and meet only Year 6 parents (socially distanced) in the area behind Year 6 inside the school boundaries. No grandparents or older siblings will be permitted on the school grounds. Relatives can wait outside the school boundary fence. All K-6 parents can wait for dismissal at 1.15pm. Any student who cannot be picked up at this time will be supervised until the usual 2.40pm dismissal time.
