Term 2 Reminders

by | Apr 6, 2023

Dear Parents,

As Term 1 comes to a close, I thought it was timely to remind parents of some important Term 2 information.

Term 2 Commences Wednesday 26 April

Please be aware that the final day of Term 1 is Thursday 6 April (Friday 7 April is Good Friday Public Holiday). Students return to school on Wednesday 26 April due to Monday 24 April being a Pupil Free Day and Tuesday 25 April being ANZAC Day Public Holiday.

Interschool Swimming Carnival

This Carnival has now been rescheduled for Friday 5 May 2023. It will be held at the YMCA Narrogin Leisure Centre. More information will go out to families next term, including information about the sausage sizzle orders that were placed for the original carnival.

Play Cafe Term 2

We are very happy to have Mrs Claire Graham back to run 5 Play Café sessions for Term 2. Play Café is open to all families in the Narrogin and surrounding community. Families do not need to have siblings currently enrolled at St Matthew’s. Children between 0-5 years are welcome to attend. Children must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent or guardian.

Session Dates: 11 May, 18 May, 25 May, 1 June, and 8 June.

Cost: Free

Please check the school app, or contact the Office for more information or to make a booking.

Term 2 School Uniform

  • The skort is able to be worn all year round on formal uniform days. 
  • The new sports jacket is not to be worn with the formal uniform
  • All students from Years 4 to 6 are to wear the school tie with the formal uniform in Terms 2 & 3
