Stella Maris Parish Primary School

The Socceroos are off to a great start in the World Cup!

To celebrate and acknowledge this very special event, we invite students to wear their Aussie colours next Friday the 26th June as we take on Paraguay on that day.

Students are invited to wear Green and Gold or Australia themed clothes on the day (socks, scarfs, beanies etc are fine as well) if they would like.

Students in Year 2 (on excursion) and Years 4-6 (at the Netball Carnival) are asked to wear their normal school uniform on the day. Thank you for your understanding.

Book Fair is back at Stella Maris for 2026. We will be open for sales on Wednesday 17 June 8:15am - 9:00am and 2:45pm - 4:30pm. See the below image for other available times. Every purchase made at our Book Fair helps support our school library, with all proceeds going directly back into providing resources and opportunities for our students.

Congratulations to Kayla, Austin, Kyan, Noah and Sophie, who celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation last Wednesday with Archbishop Patrick O’Regan. Each student chose a saint they aspire to be like, and Archbishop O’Regan spoke with them about their chosen saint and the gifts of the Holy Spirit as a helper and guide. We look forward to celebrating with them again as they receive their First Communion this Sunday, 15 June.

Today we joined schools, libraries and communities across Australia in celebrating National Simultaneous Storytime with this year’s featured book, Luna Roo!

Students loved coming together to share the story, sparking imagination, laughter and a love of reading. National Simultaneous Storytime is a wonderful celebration of literacy, storytelling and the joy that books bring to our classrooms and communities.

Today, we acknowledge National Sorry Day as a time to reflect, remember and recognise the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly the Stolen Generations.

As a school community, we are committed to listening, learning and walking together in the spirit of reconciliation. May we continue to foster understanding, respect and kindness as we work towards a more united future for all Australians.

This week, we recognise National Reconciliation Week and this year’s theme, All In - a reminder that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that we all have a role to play in creating meaningful change.

As a school community, we are committed to listening, learning and walking together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through understanding, respect and shared responsibility, we can help build a more inclusive and united future for all Australians.

Together, we are All In for reconciliation. 💛🖤❤️
