During our first week, we were delighted to gather again. We were excited to be back on campus and share our summer stories, see our friends and be ready to learn. During the first week of school, staff and students in Secondary School had the opportunity to gather and give thanks during an Opening Mass. This Saint Maur tradition gives us a chance to think about our blessings and think about how we can be there for one another in the year to come.

This year on April 29th, instead of our traditional Food Fair, we hosted a special 150th Anniversary Celebration Day for our students!

Saint Maur ended the semester with a festive extravaganza, starting with the incredible Secondary Winter Concert and stunning Art exhibition on Thursday evening.

With the holiday season upon us, the Saint Maur Parent Support Group (PSG) and Charity Committee hosted Saint Maur's first Christmas Wonderland. The idea behind this festive event was to get the whole community together to spend a joyful day on campus with games for students, live music, Christmas themed food and drink, an exciting raffle and a movie night for students.

On Friday, December 3rd, the Saint Maur Montessori and Elementary School students performed a wonderful Christmas concert to a live audience of parents in our auditorium. This has been the first live Christmas concert in two years and while we still had to limit audience numbers, it was a vibrant and festive atmosphere accompanied by a bake sale organised by our Parent Support Group.

From October 27th to 29, Saint Maur 8th graders went to the Nanbo Kokusai Mura Camp and had an experience of camping with their classmates. The 8th graders did lots of fun activities outdoors and enjoyed delicious food!

This week we celebrated Diwali, the Festival of Lights, in our classroom. Diwali is one of the biggest festivals celebrated in India. During this time we decorate our homes with lights, candles, and colorful rangoli designs to invite Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, prosperity, and good fortune.

We are proud to announce that our high school brain bowl team this year became the CHAMPIONS out of 8 teams in the KPASS league, with a grand total of 585 points!
