Term 1 Week 6
Our Catholic Schools Week activities will begin this Friday as Urana
join us to celebrate Catholic education. Lunch will be provided on
the day so there will be no lunch
orders. Catholic Schools Week is
a special time in the year when
we celebrate and give thanks for
Catholic schools, especially our
own school. It is a time to give
thanks for the wonderful teaching
and learning that takes place each day in every classroom.
The theme for CSW 2015 is ‘Educating for Today and Tomorrow’ and this theme provides a perfect opportunity to
acknowledge the opportunities available to students, raise
awareness, and celebrate the distinctiveness of Catholic education in our nation.

Staff Profile from Maryanne
A li le history…
I was born in Leeton and I grew up on a small farm on the outskirts of town.
I loved being on a farm and spent all my me either helping my dad on the
farm with the animals or on my horse. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers, (all
older, I am the baby of the family). I met Brad when I was 18, he was the DJ
at the local pub and on my 20th birthday he proposed. We were married
the following April in 1994. We now have 3 children, Caitlin, Jacob and
Ma hew who were all born in Leeton. We loved our me in Leeton but
about 8 years ago we made the big decision to move to Lockhart for Brad to
start a new career with Warrakirri as an Assistant Farm Manager.
I love spending my me with family and friends. As a family we enjoy water
skiing in the summer months and during the winter football and netball.
The only real hobby I have is photography and I enjoy taking ac on shots of
the kids and landscapes.
My first job was helping at a hairdressers a er school. I really wanted to be a hairdresser but I had no luck
ge ng an appren ceship, so my mum suggested going to TAFE and learning Office Admin. A er that I
worked in the office at a Wholesale Bakery called Mrs Harrison’s Kitchen un l about 1999. I stayed at home
with Caitlin and Jacob for a few years and decided I wanted a change in career so I retrained in beauty and
a er working in a small salon for a few years I opened my own salon in 2005. It was very successful and I
loved every minute of it but I closed it to move to Lockhart. I stayed at home with Ma hew un l he started
school. In the lead up to Ma hew star ng school I started thinking about a new career. I knew that I wanted to help people so I was considering studying nursing or educa on support and when Debbie men oned at
Speech night that they were going to be adver sing a teacher’s aide posi on—and as we say ‘the rest is history’! This is my 4th year here at St Joseph’s and I love my job. I love helping the students achieve and I love
to see how excited they are when they see improvement within themselves. It is such a wonderful and rewarding job.
