Expressions Of Interest - 2024 SAC
St Mary's is looking for expressions of interest for the 2024 School Advisory Council (SAC). The SAC is made up of a range of parents who work with the Principal and the Parish Priest. We meet once per term from 6pm-7:30pm (at the latest). The SAC provides a forum for discussion and discernment. We value parent voice and perspectives as these help to inform and support the decisions made by the Principal for the good of school.
Please email Roxanne should you wish to be involved

Holy Spirit Parish - Sacrament Program
For Parents of Children Ready for First Eucharist and Confirmation in Ararat
Parents of children ready for First Eucharist and Confirmation are invited to a meeting at the parish office on Tuesday December 5.
The meeting will be at 3.30pm and repeated at 5.30pm.
This invitation is for parents of children nearing the end of Yr 2 and above.
Why so late in the year?
We had a meeting some months ago and nobody came. (Not advertised well enough?)
While children in Stawell celebrated their sacraments this year, Ararat missed out. We decided to wait a while and set the meeting again.
After the meeting your child's preparation can begin immediately and the sacraments celebrated early next year.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
