Principal's Report

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I reflect on the phenomenal success of our recent St. Patrick's Festival, and it's all thanks to the remarkable individuals within our St. Patrick's community. Maryann, Marie, Maria, and Suzy, your exceptional coordination and unwavering commitment were the driving force behind the seamless execution of our festivities. Your dedication did not go unnoticed, and we are deeply thankful for your invaluable contributions.

A heartfelt appreciation also extends to our incredible P & F helpers who took charge of the BBQ and orchestrated the exhilarating carnival big ride events. Your hard work and enthusiasm added an extra layer of excitement to the day, creating unforgettable moments for all who attended.

To our amazing staff members, your presence and assistance were invaluable. Your support and willingness to lend a helping hand at every turn played a pivotal role in the event's success. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to our community.

But our gratitude doesn't stop there. We must also extend a warm thank you to our students for their outstanding participation and exemplary behavior throughout the event. Your enthusiasm and positive energy contributed immensely to the joyous atmosphere, and we couldn't be prouder of each and every one of you.

Together, we form a community that embodies the spirit of unity and collaboration, and it is this collective effort that makes St. Patrick's truly special. We are immensely grateful to have such a supportive and dedicated community rallying behind us.

Thanks to our major sponsor:

The third of our official 'Open Days' will be held on Tuesday 26th March. 

As per our enrolment policy, current families will have priority enrolment, followed by baptised catholics in our boundries and then baptised catholics outside our boundries, if we have availablity, we can then accept other enrolments.  We are currently expecting to have 3 Prep classes for 2025 of around 23-24 students per class.    

An Irish Blessing...

May your blessings outnumber 

The Shamrocks that grow 

And may trouble avoid you

Wherever you go.

God Bless
