Graphic with the words “Back to School” at the top left and “1 Day to go!” at the top right. In the centre, a yellow outlined box contains the message: “See you tomorrow, St Mary’s! We step forward with love in our hearts, peace in our actions and hope in our aspirations.” Around the text are colourful footprints in red, orange, green, and blue, plus three yellow heart doodles and small blue decorative lines.

More great moments from out Painting Party!

With plenty of laughter and teamwork, families, staff and volunteers helped us give the school a fresh new look.

Thank you to everyone who gave up their time — your effort made a real difference.
