Principal's Report

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am pleased to announce that the installation of our new school wayfinding signage will take place tomorrow across key entry and exit points. This project represents another significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to improve our campus facilities and enhance the overall experience for our students, families, and visitors. The new signs are designed to make navigating our school clearer, safer, and more welcoming for everyone in our community.

Below is a preview sample of the upcoming signage that will soon be featured around our school grounds.

Prep 2027 Orientation

The orientation process for our 2027 Prep classes will begin next month. I am pleased to announce that our 2027 Prep teachers will be Mrs Charlotte Spence, Miss Kristi Lenton, and Miss Laura Smith. 

Our Prep teachers do an outstanding job each year in preparing and supporting our newest students as they begin their school journey. The orientation process is an important and exciting time for children and families, helping everyone to feel comfortable, confident and connected to our school community. Charlotte, Kristi and Laura put great care into planning engaging, welcoming and developmentally appropriate experiences that ensure our new Preps are ready for a smooth transition into school life.

I am very excited about the Prep team we have for next year and look forward to meeting our 2027 students and families during the upcoming orientation sessions:

• Wednesday 11th November – Parent Information Evening - (6:30pm-7:30pm)
• Tuesday 17th November – Prep 2027 Orientation Session #1 (9am-11am)
• Tuesday 24th November – Prep 2027 Orientation Session #2 (9am-11am)

At St. Patrick’s, we are truly blessed to have such a dedicated and hardworking staff.
