OLSH Pillar Focus

This term, our OLSH Pillar focus is on Pursuing Excellence, whereby we are heading past half way of the 2019 school year and routines have been well established, mid-year reports have been written and shared with families, and teaching and learning for the remainder of the year is in full swing.  Goals have been set for ways forward and for students to achieve them.  We also have Mary Mackillop Feast Day, Mobile Science Lessons, Science Shows, Cross Country Carnival, Assumption Feast Day, Numerical Acumen Presentations, ICAS Testing, ReLAT Testing, Book Week, Carly Ryan Presentations, Child Protection Week, SACPSSA Touch Footy Carnival, Sports Day and Grandparent’s Day just to name a few of our events in which St Martin’s will pursue excellence.
