Dear Parents and Carers,

At last Monday night’s P&F meeting , the final tally of the 2019 St Thomas More School Fete was announced.  Well done and thank you to the entire STM community in raising $32,750.94 for our school. Your hard work, generous donations and support all contributed to the success of our fete.  Please put Sunday 2nd August in your diary for the 2020 STM Fete.

All parents and friends of our school are invited to the 2019 STM Trivia Night.  The Trivia Night is being held at the Campbelltown Catholic Club on Friday 18th October 2019.  As a token of thanks to everyone for their support of our fete and all school activities in 2019, the P&F Association are subsiding $25.00 per head for the Trivia Night.  This means that parents who attend the Trivia Night will only need to pay $10.00 per head for a great night out with parents and friends of our school. Please see the attached note for further details.

For the remainder of Term 3, parents may decide as to which uniform they send their child to school.  As we are currently experiencing changeable weather, parents may decide as to whether their child comes to school in their Summer or Winter uniform.  All children are required to be in their Summer uniform from the beginning of Term 4.

Best wishes for the coming week,

Philip Barrington
