THE SEASON OF LENT

Greetings!

We have enjoyed a relatively (compare to the last few years) smooth although busy start to the school year.

Next week, the season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, which also marks the beginning of the annual Caritas Australia Project Compassion Appeal.

Pupil Free Day this term is on Friday, 10 March 2023. Our OSHC Service will be available for those students who require care on the day.

CRICKET (Years 2-6)

Thank you to all those who registered for cricket teams before the due date.

St Martins has entered a Year 2-3 Cricket Team and a B Grade Cricket Team (Year 4-5) in this term’s competition.

Our Brains

Last Friday the whole school took part in a Wellbeing session about our brains and how 3 parts of our brain help us to get ready to learn and have positive relationships with our peers.

The school was divided into 20 groups of about 28 students from each year level. Our Year 6 students showed great leadership in delivering a short lesson about our brains and how we can get ready to be a calm and engaged learner. We learned about the Prefrontal Cortex; our wise leader, the Amygdala; our security guard and the Hippocampus, our treasure box where our memories are stored. For more information, please click here.
