Message From Our Principal

It is hard to believe that we are already approaching the end of Term 3, with the holidays just a week away. This has been another busy and rewarding term, filled with learning, growth, and many memorable experiences for our students. With only one term left in the 2026 school year, it’s a great time to reflect on how far we have come and to look forward to finishing the year strongly. I encourage everyone to enjoy the upcoming break, recharge, and return ready for the final chapter of the school year.

Yesterday our school community came together to celebrate R U OK? Day. Students and staff brightened the day by wearing something yellow and sharing important conversations about checking in on one another. We also enjoyed some delicious cookies made by Rach and held a special raffle for the chance to win a treat hamper – also beautifully put together by Rach. It was a wonderful way to raise awareness, spread kindness, and remind everyone that every day is a good day to ask, “Are you OK?” 💛

After months of hard work and preparation, our school production is finally here! This Monday, our students will take to the stage to showcase their singing, dancing, and acting talents. Both staff and students have put in an enormous effort to bring this performance together, and the excitement is building as we get closer to sharing it with family and friends. We can’t wait to see the joy and pride on everyone’s faces as the curtain goes up at the plaza on Monday night at 6:30pm.

Thanks to the 22 families who have already completed the ORIMA Survey, your feedback is really important to us!!

This is 40%of our families- we would love to get at least 50%!!!

Last week we celebrated LSO Week, a time to recognise and thank our incredible team of 6 Learning Support Officers who make such a difference in the lives of our students every single day. Their dedication, care, and hard work support not only the children but also our teachers and families, ensuring that every student is given the opportunity to succeed. We are so grateful for the passion and commitment our LSOs bring to St Patrick’s – our school is stronger because of them!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Father’s Day Raffle by purchasing a ticket. Your generosity makes a big difference and helps us continue to support our community.

Congratulations to our lucky winners – we hope you enjoy your prizes!

We recently celebrated all of the marvellous men in our lives at our annual Marvellous Men’s Breakfast. All the men enjoyed a delicious start to the day with bacon and egg sandwiches or a sausage in bread, before taking part in some fun activities. A lucky door prize raffle added extra excitement, and the morning finished with a lively football clinic featuring the popular kids vs dads match. It was a wonderful way to bring our community together and celebrate the special role these men play in the lives of our students.

A huge thank you to Belinda and her amazing team of volunteers for organising the Marvellous Men’s Stall and the hotdog lunch. The time, effort, and energy that went into preparing and running both events was greatly appreciated, and they brought so much joy and excitement to our students. We are very grateful for your generosity and commitment to making these special occasions possible for our school community.

Last Friday our school was full of colour and energy as students and staff came dressed in their favourite sports colours! From football and netball to soccer, basketball, and beyond, it was wonderful to see the pride everyone showed for their teams. The day was filled with fun, laughter, and plenty of friendly rivalry, as we celebrated the joy that sport brings to our community. 🏉🏐⚽🏀
