Marymount Primary Burleigh

💃🕺 Last week, our Prep students had a wonderful time attending the Year 9 Dance Concert in the Theatrette at the College.

Each year, our Preps are invited to enjoy this special performance, giving them the opportunity to watch the talented dancers, experience the creative choreography, and enjoy the music in a live theatre setting.

A big thank you to the Year 9 students for sharing their talents and putting on such an entertaining show. Our Preps loved every minute of it! 🎶✨

We are also very grateful to Mrs Mel Howe and Ms Mitchell for the invitation and for providing our students with this special opportunity each year.

📢 Important Update for Families

Marymount Primary is transitioning to the new eMinerva InForm Forms and Notifications platform, with implementation beginning in Term 2 and all formal school communications moving to InForm from Term 3.

📱 What does this mean for parents and caregivers?
You may start receiving:
✅ Forms requiring a response (such as excursion or activity consent forms)
✅ Notifications that provide information only

These will be available through the BCE Connect app and/or sent to your nominated email address.

📧 Please look out for emails from:
[email protected]

This is an official Brisbane Catholic Education email address. To ensure you receive important school communications, please add it to your safe senders list and avoid marking it as spam.

🔒 Improved Security
For the best experience, access forms through the BCE Connect app. If opening a form from an email link, you will be asked to log in using your BCE Connect credentials.

🎨 Easy-to-Spot Email Colours
🟨 Yellow = Action Required
🟦 Blue = Information Only (No action required)

If you have any questions about the transition, please contact the school office.

Thank you for your support as we continue to improve communication with our families.

The students shared thoughtful examples of how they can be Good Samaritans in their everyday lives before finishing with Treat People With Kindness. 💛

💙💛❤️ Wear Your Supporters' Colours Day! ❤️💛💙

Get ready for a fun day of colour and house spirit on Wednesday 17 June! Students are invited to wear their supporters' colours and show their enthusiasm for their favourite team.

🌭 Sausage sizzle available via the Qkr! app – $2.50 each.

All proceeds will contribute to supporting our local St Vincent de Paul Society.

We can't wait to see a sea of colour around the school!

🎶 Our Year 3 and 4 students have been learning the recorder in Music lessons!

Students have been developing their listening skills, rhythm, finger placement and confidence while learning to play simple songs and melodies. It has been wonderful to see their persistence and enthusiasm as they continue building their musical skills each week.

Don’t worry families, you won’t miss out on hearing the recorder skills at home later in the year… it’s the gift that keeps on giving! 🎵 😉

This term in Science, Year 4 have been exploring the world of forces!

In this lesson, students investigated friction and how it affects motion by pushing toy cars across a variety of surfaces around the school. From smooth floors to rougher textures, they quickly discovered that not all surfaces are created equal when it comes to how far and fast things move.

There was plenty of predicting, testing, and comparing as students observed how different materials change the movement of the cars. A fun way to bring scientific thinking to life! 🚗💨
