Deputy Principals Mrs Diakrousis & Mr Speranza

Dear Families,

It was wonderful to see so many children and families at the festival last week. We both braved the elements to be on the dunking machine, and were so gracious for the many children who lined up to ensure we ended up in the bottom of the tank! Again thank you to the P&F for their amazing organisation and delivery or such a successful event.

A reminder that the Prep to Year 3 swimming program will be commencing in Term 2, and the upcoming holidays are a good opportunity to ensure that children have everything required to adjust to the new routine. Please see the Operoo notice for all information.

Regards,

Joelle Diakrousis, Deputy Principal / Learning Diversity Leader

Battery Recycling Program

Did you know that batteries contain harmful chemicals that can damage the environment if not disposed of properly? At St. Patrick’s, we are committed to sustainability and have a battery recycling program to help reduce waste and protect our planet.

We encourage all families to bring in used batteries and drop them off in our designated recycling bin in the front office. 

Please remember: Button batteries are extremely dangerous for children—keep them out of reach and ensure they are safely stored before recycling.

Let’s work together to create a cleaner, safer future!

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the following students for their outstanding display of kindness and compassion towards others. Your willingness to support, encourage, and uplift those around you has set a wonderful example for our entire school community. It’s incredibly inspiring to see students across different year levels go out of their way to make others feel valued, included, and respected.Your acts of kindness—whether through small gestures or significant efforts—are powerful reminders of the positive impact we can all have. Thank you for embodying the values that make our school a welcoming and caring place for everyone. Keep up the amazing work!
