Student FUN DAY - 10 Years of GSFM
To celebrate 10 years of Good Samaritan students will take part in a GSFM Student Fun Day on Wednesday 14 September. This day will involve games, icecream, stalls, activities and a sausage sizzle for all students.
The day will begin with a whole school Mass celebrated by Bishop Brian Mascord followed by a morning tea for parents and invited guests. Students are expected to wear full school uniform on this day of celebration.
The day will be a chance to thank the students for their commitment to our wonderful school community.
The day is being hosted and supported by the P&F and there will be no cost to the students.
The Year Six students will be setting up and running a range of activities and games on this day.
We look forward to celebrating 10 Years of Good Samaritan together throughout this week.
