A huge appreciation and thank you must go out to the PTA members and their helpers who made our fireworks night happen. I know Lee Ann Taylor will say it was a team effort – and it was – but Lee Ann has been driving this project with helpers so that it was the success it was. Her team of willing workers laboured tirelessly leading up to the event. They then mustered again that night and again the next day so that things just happen to be back to normal on Monday morning. Thank you – Team and thank you Lee Ann and your committee for the fine job well executed. Deb Limmer – our PTA president – You also need to be recognised. I saw you leading in the background. I saw you facing the problems that arose in some ways expectantly with such an event. You did a fantastic job! You deserve to be acknowledged as well. Thank you Deb! |

If your child requires dental services please ring Greerton Village Dental at the Greerton Village School. Phone 571 5423. Gate Pa Dental is now closed.
We will be contacted in the near future regarding a mobile caravan coming to St Mary’s. However, this might not happen until next year. Once this does happen your child will be allocated an appointment time to see the dental nurse.

Our school has a proud record of leading the way.
This record has been underpinned by the collective effort of all those in the St Mary’s community – from staff and students to parents and parishioners – to establish a learning environment second to none.
Fundamental to this environment are the physical assets of the school – the buildings and infrastructure that support student learning.
The school, with the support of the Proprietor (the Bishop of Hamilton) and the Ministry of Education, has embarked on an ambitious building development programme that will ‘future proof’ St Mary’s for generations of students.
