Special thanks to Mr Colin Edwards who coordinated the day for us, and a special mention to all of the school staff for their assistance in running the events and for supervising the students. My sincere thanks also to the Kilbreda students who assisted at the field events as well.
Well done to all students who participated in events. It was great to see our students try their best on the day!

Kingston Junior Mayor Competition
Well done to our Year 6 students who competed in the Kingston Junior Mayor competition today at the Kingston City Hall in Moorabbin. Ezra, Nicholas, Eleanor and Hudson represented our school well in a very professional presentation. Thanks also to Mrs Liz Lamb and Mrs Bianca Latto for preparing the children for this education enhancement event.
P & F Student Disco
This Friday evening is our annual P & F Student Disco which will be held in the school hall. What a great way to test out our new sound system with ''DJ Daidone'' sending out the tunes for our students. The Prep - Year 2 Disco is from 5:00pm to 6:15pm and the Year 3 - Year 6 Disco is from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. The theme for the disco is bright fluro colours. I am looking forward to this very exciting event!
Just a reminder that all students will be dismissed from the hall deck at the end of each disco and the school playground is strictly out of bounds at the conclusion of each disco.

Car Parking around the school
Can I please ask all parents and carers who are dropping off and picking up student before and after school to observe all correct parking instructions. This includes parking in correct parking bays (not across residents driveways) as signed by the council and to never park in the child care centre across the road from the school on Childers Street. They have their own clientele to look after and it is very important that we respect their pick up and drop off procedures. Child safety, and looking after our neighbours and our wider community should be the number 1 priority for all adults in the St. Patrick's community.
Please note that the Parish Church Driveway should not be used for picking up and dropping off students.
My sincere thanks for your assistance in this matter.
