Message From Our Principal 

It is hard to believe we are already into Week 8 of Term 3! The weeks are certainly flying by, and there is so much to celebrate across our school community. Last week was another busy and rewarding week, with our students participating enthusiastically in our Swimming Week program and continuing to demonstrate our St Patrick’s values of respect, resilience and responsibility. As we move towards the final weeks of Term 3, there are many exciting opportunities ahead for our students, and I look forward to seeing them continue to learn, grow and make the most of every opportunity. Thank you, as always, to our wonderful families for your ongoing support of our school and our students.

Thanks to the 13 families who have already completed the ORIMA Survey, your feedback is really important to us!!

This is 19%of our families- we would love to get at least 50%!!!

This week we celebrated LSO Week, a time to recognise and thank our incredible team of 6 Learning Support Officers who make such a difference in the lives of our students every single day. Their dedication, care, and hard work support not only the children but also our teachers and families, ensuring that every student is given the opportunity to succeed. We are so grateful for the passion and commitment our LSOs bring to St Patrick’s – our school is stronger because of them!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Father’s Day Raffle by purchasing a ticket. Your generosity makes a big difference and helps us continue to support our community.

Congratulations to our lucky winners – we hope you enjoy your prizes!

Today we celebrated all of the marvellous men in our lives at our annual Marvellous Men’s Breakfast. All the men enjoyed a delicious start to the day with bacon and egg sandwiches or a sausage in bread, before taking part in some fun activities. A lucky door prize raffle added extra excitement, and the morning finished with a lively football clinic featuring the popular kids vs dads match. It was a wonderful way to bring our community together and celebrate the special role these men play in the lives of our students.

A huge thank you to Carliand her amazing team of volunteers for organising the Marvellous Men’s Stall. The time, effort, and energy that went into preparing and running both events was greatly appreciated, and they brought so much joy and excitement to our students. We are very grateful for your generosity and commitment to making these special occasions possible for our school community.

Today our school was full of colour and energy as students and staff came dressed in their favourite sports colours! From football and netball to soccer, basketball, and beyond, it was wonderful to see the pride everyone showed for their teams. The day was filled with fun, laughter, and plenty of friendly rivalry, as we celebrated the joy that sport brings to our community. 🏉🏐⚽🏀

Last week, our students had a fantastic time taking part in our Swimming Week program. It was wonderful to see students of all ages developing their swimming skills, water confidence and safety awareness throughout the week. The students embraced the opportunity to challenge themselves, learn new skills and support one another, with many showing fantastic persistence and improvement across the sessions. A big thank you to our dedicated staff and swimming instructors for creating such a positive and engaging experience for our students. We are incredibly proud of the way our students represented St Patrick’s and made the most of this valuable learning opportunity!

Next term we will trial a monthly newsletter!
