Deputy Principal's Report

Dear Families,

I hope that all of our wonderful mums had a lovely morning at the Mother's Day Morning on Tuesday. 

I want to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to all the incredible mothers and mother figures within the St Patrick's School community. Your unwavering dedication, boundless love, and tireless efforts in nurturing and guiding your children do not go unnoticed. Each of you play an invaluable role in shaping the future generation and for that, we are profoundly grateful.

I wish everyone a very special Mother's Day on Sunday.

Friendly Reminder 

Just a friendly reminder to all school families that dogs are not permitted on the school grounds at any time. If you walk your dog to school, they must remain supervised outside the school gates. Thanks for your understanding.

Arriving at School on Time

We kindly request that all students arrive at or before 8:45 am each school day. Our school gates will close at 8:50am every morning. Punctuality not only helps students settle into their day smoothly but also maximises their engagement in the learning process. Being present and ready at the beginning of the school day allows students to make the most of instructional time and fosters a positive classroom environment.

In the event that your child arrives after 8:50am, we kindly ask that you sign them in at the school office. This helps us maintain accurate attendance records and ensures that any missed instructions or announcements are communicated to the students promptly.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we appreciate your cooperation in instilling the importance of timeliness with your child. Consistent and prompt attendance supports their academic progress, social development, and overall success in school.

Should you have any concerns or if there are specific challenges your family is facing regarding attendance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to support you and work collaboratively to ensure the best possible learning experience for your child.

Warm regards,

Joelle Diakrousis
