St Patrick's Day Fun

My sincere thanks to our community for a fun and memorable St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday. The day began with a wonderful celebration of our end-of-term Mass in honour of St. Patrick. It was especially pleasing to receive many compliments from regular parishioners regarding the excellent behaviour and reverence shown by our students throughout the Mass.

Throughout the day, students also engaged in meaningful classroom learning about the life and legacy of St. Patrick, deepening their understanding of his faith, courage and impact. It was fantastic to see so many children embracing the spirit of the day by dressing in green and participating so enthusiastically in the celebrations. The joy and pride across the school community were evident and made the day a special one for all involved.

I am very much looking forward to continuing the celebrations at our St. Patrick’s Festival this Friday from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. It promises to be a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together, enjoy some great entertainment, and celebrate all that makes St. Patrick’s such a special place. I hope to see many of you there.

Graduate Teachers Mass and Induction

Last Friday, I had the privilege of attending the First Year Teachers’ Mass and Induction at St Patrick’s Cathedral. Congratulations to Miss Courtney Day, Miss Tess Campigli and Miss Sophie Mackey on their participation in this important and special occasion. It was a wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate their commitment to the teaching profession, and we are very proud to have them as part of our St Patrick’s community.

Sibling - Prep 2027 Enrolments and Open Days

We are pleased to announce that sibling enrolments for Prep 2027 are now open.  

We are currently have 37 Sibling enrolments for 2027!

Application forms are available on our school website or can be collected directly from the school office.

To assist prospective families, we are hosting a series of Open Days on the following dates:

• Wednesday, 1st April
• 9.00am to 11.00am

Private tours can also be arranged by appointment through the office.

Enrolment Priority & Process As per our established enrolment policy, priority is given to current families. Following this, places are allocated to baptised Catholic children residing within our designated boundaries, followed by baptised Catholics outside our boundaries, subject to availability.

For the 2027 academic year, we anticipate forming three Prep classes with approximately 22–23 students per class.

Next Steps: Sibling enrolment interviews will be conducted throughout Term 1. This timeline ensures we can accurately determine the number of remaining places available for new families in the coming months.
