SYMPATHY

I would like to extend our Sympathy to the Timbs family on the passing of  their grandmother Mary.  May she rest in peace.

Census

This Friday 2nd August is Commonwealth School Census Day for schools across Australia. This Census is the key federal government data gathering instrument for the funding of the Catholic Schools Office and hence staffing levels at St Patrick's for 2020. It is a detailed process and I would like to thank Sally & Anthea in the office for all of the work they do.

Woolworths Earn and Learn

We are pleased to announce that St Patrick's collected a total of 7952 points to spend on new resources. The resources should arrive in Term 4, 2019. A big thank you to the students and parents who collected their stickers and have contributed immensely to these new resources for our school. A HUGE shout out to Mrs Pittman who organised and counted them - thank you.
