Deputy Principal's Report

Dear families,

I hope that you have been having a lovely week. It has again been a wonderfully busy week at St. Patrick's. I've had the privilege of attending the swimming lessons this week and observing our Year 4-6 students as they learn many valuable water safety skills. It's truly heartening to see their progress and dedication in acquiring these essential skills.

As we approach the weekend, I hope you all find some time to relax and rejuvenate. It's important to take moments for ourselves amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. 

Random Acts of Kindness

I would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to the following students for their exemplary display of kindness towards others. It's truly inspiring to witness students across different year levels supporting one another and making an effort to spread kindness. Your actions make our school community a better place for everyone.

Illness

I'd like to emphasise the importance of keeping our school community safe and healthy. With the ongoing challenges posed by various illnesses, it's crucial that we all do our part to protect one another.

One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of illness within our school is by ensuring that children who are unwell stay home until they are fully recovered. If your child is unwell, please keep them home. In the event of an absence, please notify the school office. 

Seasons Group

Can I ask that all students from Year 1-6 in the Seasons Group please bring a photo of themselves as a baby and one of them now? This will be a chance for students to see how they have changed in the last few years. 

As always, I extend my gratitude to our dedicated teachers and staff who work tirelessly to create enriching experiences for our students. 

Enjoy a lovely weekend. 

Warm regards,

Joelle Diakrousis
