EXTERNAL THERAPISTS:

As mentioned in previous newsletters and with parents at a meeting with Mrs McKenzie last week, our procedures around accessing external therapists is changing in 2025.

If your child currently works with an external therapist at school and you wish for this arrangment to continue, please reach out to Mrs Augustus (via: info email address) as soon as possible. 

Each case will be assessed individually based on:

• alignment of therapy to student goals
• the functional impact that the student's disability has on them in the school environment
• a clear plan for communication between the therapist and the school exists so that we can best support these students in the classroom.

There will be limited spaces available for therapists to work and a timetable will need to be created in order to cater for student needs. It will be a family responsibility to  inform therapists if sessions need to be cancelled eg. school masses, events, illness.

ENROLMENTS - Kindergarten 2026 and Year 7 2027

Applications are now open in Compass for Kindergarten 2026 and Year 7 2027 enrolments (for current Year 4 students).

To apply, click the cog wheel on the top right-hand side of your existing parent Compass account and then “Family and Enrolments” in the drop-down. If you are applying for your currently enrolled child please click on their name in Student Profile, complete the profile to get to 100% and you will then be able to create an application. For new students (e.g. Kindergarten), please create a new student profile before submitting an application. You must select at least two school preferences to submit. Upon submission, you'll receive a confirmation email, and your Compass account will display the status as “submitted.” Here is a step-by-step guide if you need assistance.

Open days will be held in early Term 1 2025 (dates to be provided here early next year), and final enrolment applications are due in late March/early April. 

Each school will confirm their deadlines during the open days. Feel free to share this information with friends, family, and community members who may be interested in enrolment. 

If you are not returning to St Patrick's in 2025 and you have not notified us yet can you please inform the office on info@stpsutherland.catholic.edu.au as soon as possible.
