Toastie Tuesdays

We are excited to be introducing Toastie Tuesdays at Mary Mac next week! 🥪🧀

Every Tuesday, students can enjoy their own custom-made toasted sandwiches for lunch. Here’s how it works:

  1. Prep Your Sandwich: Bring sandwich from home, made exactly how you like it.
  2. Wrap It Right: Make sure it’s wrapped in baking paper with student name written (no foil or plastic wrap, please – it needs to go in the sandwich press!).
  3. Drop It Off: In the morning, students head to breakfast club to hand in sandwich to the staff who’ll take care of the toasting. This MUST be done straight away and before the bell.
  4. Delivered to You: Student's freshly toasted sandwich will be delivered to their classroom at lunchtime – ready to enjoy!

SAPSASA Football🏉

Well done Charlie!

 

We're incredibly proud of Charlie, who has represented our school in SAPSASA Football in Adelaide last week! Not only was he selected to be part of the team, but he was also named Vice Captain — an amazing achievement!

Despite a wet and challenging start to the week, we were so excited to have Charlie back at school to hear all about the team’s experience and results.

Text Absentee Number

A reminder that if your child is absent from school, for any reason, it is important that this is communicated with the school.

When texting the Absentee Line to explain your child's absence from school please make sure you put both their name and reason so it can be recorded properly.

Resilience Project

Mary MacKillop Memorial School fosters a supportive and resilient learning community, with wellbeing at its core. By promoting confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence, we empower students to excel academically, build strong relationships, and lead responsible, fulfilling lives. That's why this year we are engaging in The Resilience Project as one of our wellbeing initiatives!

For us, resilience is the ability to adapt and thrive when faced with challenges, adversity, trauma, or stress. It’s not just about overcoming difficulties but also about developing the strength to grow and move forward with confidence.

Reconciliation Week (Week 5)

Sorry Day was last Monday, 26th May, with Reconciliation Week following on.

This year at MMMS, we commemorated this week by engaging students in learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories, fostering respectful relationships, and encouraging discussions about reconciliation.


 

Reconciliation Week Activities

Activities suggestions above were provided for families to celebrate Reconciliation Week last week.

We encouraged our community to take a look and try to implement these ideas into their everyday lives.
