Semester 1, Week 9 - Happy Halloween!

Welcome back!

All FMM staff were involved with Faith Day activities yesterday, and it was a remarkable experience that all will take back to the classroom to help all of the students.

Today, we got back to a quick start with some presentations this morning from Frather Emelu, and a Fire Safety Presentation in the Library.

We've got a busy week ahead with Halloween Activities organized by Student Council (during lunches), Musical rehearsals, and much more.

Students are invited to join Mr Hospedales for runs with the Cross-country Running Club every day after school, the Games Club on Wednesday in the Library, or Friday's Badminton Club in the Gym.

Have a great week!
