PARENTS' SOCIETY
The Parents’ Society is pleased to be involved in the school community through organising events such as the Sundowner and Careers Expo, but also has the privilege of determining where the parent levy funds are allocated each year. Our aim is to always make sure that these funds are used for the greatest benefit of as many girls as possible. In 2020 we directed funding to items across a huge range of areas within the school, from sound mixing equipment and biotechnology machines, to lighting kits, aquaponics systems and library shelving. There have been some fabulous initiatives that we have been fortunate enough to support, and we are sure that many girls will enjoy the addition of all the items and events this year and for years to come. Many thanks to our dedicated committee members, who continue to work on your behalf to help enhance and enliven our school community. We congratulate Sonia Addis, who was presented with an Honorary Life Membership this year, for her years of volunteering and service to our community. Thanks also to Clare, Toni and Paul for their huge contribution to the School over many years and events! Thank you once again to all the wonderful staff who help and support us in our endeavours each and every year. We say farewell to the lovely Cheryl Haak. Cheryl, we thank you for the years of care and support you have given to everyone here at St Mary’s. You are such an integral part of school life, and your dedication to all things St Mary’s will be greatly missed. We wish you much joy and happiness in your retirement. To the Class of 2020, we wish great things for your future. ‘Behind you, all your memories. Before you, all your dreams. Around you, all who love you. Within you, all you need.’
