Principal's Report
Dear Parents,
As we approach the joyful celebration of Christmas, I want to extend my warmest wishes to all our students, families, staff, and friends. This is a time of great hope, peace, and love, as we come together to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
In the midst of the busy season, I encourage each of you to pause and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas – the gift of God's love made present to us in the birth of Jesus. This holy season invites us to open our hearts to Christ, embrace the spirit of compassion, and share His love with all those around us.
I am deeply grateful for the vibrant and supportive St. Patrick's community. Your commitment to nurturing a Catholic environment where faith, learning, and service thrive is a gift in itself. May this Christmas bring you all joy, peace, and blessings, and may the New Year be filled with hope and promise.
On behalf of the staff and myself, I wish you all a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. Let us continue to walk in faith together, guided by the light of Christ.
