Deputy Principal's Report

Dear Families,

 I hope that Week 4 of the term has been wonderful for you all. St Patrick's school has been buzzing with energy, creativity, and a whole lot of curiosity. 

Prep Excursion

On Tuesday 24th October the Prep studnets attended their very first excursion to the Frankston Arts Centre to see the Pevan and Sarah concert. The Preps were very excited and had a marvellous time at this edutainment event.

The concert performance that weaved its way through literacy, numeracy teamwork, social skills and emotional management in a fun interactive format. 

Safety on the Yard - before and afterschool

Just a reminder that bikes and scooters should be walked on school grounds at all times.

Seasons for Growth 

This year I have been running the Seasons For Growth Program for students in Years 1-6. The Seasons for Growth program is designed to help students who have experienced significant change such as loss, death, family breakdown, or other change which has had an impact on their wellbeing. This year's sessions will soon come to an end but I will notify families of sessions for 2024.

2024 Camps

The students of Year 5 and 6 will be heading to camp in Term 1, 2024. The Year 5s will head off to Portsea (12th-14th February) and the Year 6s to Canberra (4th-8th March). 

If your child will be attending these camps in the new school year, please complete all necessary forms that will be sent via Operoo in the next few weeks.

Year Six Rugby Tops

An Operoo notice was sent to all current Year 5 families to purchase the Year 6 Rugby Tops for their child.  

The rugby tops are priced at $45 each or two for $80.

Please finalise all purchases by Friday 1st December 2023. 

We're loving the energy, spirit, and smiles we see every day. Let's keep that positive vibe going, make each day count, and continue learning, growing, and making the most of this term.

Enjoy your week, and remember, every day is a fresh opportunity for something amazing to happen!

Have a wonderful rest of your week,
