Opportunity for Shining our Light (SOL) Service and An Invitation

St Patrick’s Parish, Mortlake have many wonderful opportunities for boys in Years 5 to 8 to earn SOL Service points. One of these opportunities is their upcoming Fiesta – see the flyer below. If a boy is keen to volunteer, they can contact Fr Tom on 9743 1017 or at thomas.stevens@sydneycatholic.org .This event would earn a boy three SOL points.

Even if not volunteering, all families are invited to attend the event. It looks like a great night! The parish will be holding a series of these twilight evening events throughout the year which involve stalls, singers, food and a kids’ play corner. These are great occasions for community building and connection.

Here is your opportunity to do just that…..

St Patrick’s College Strathfield has committed to developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Our RAP aims to support our school community in developing an educational environment that fosters higher levels of knowledge and pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and contributions. Through our RAP, we will commit to strengthening relationships, respect, and opportunities in the classroom, around the school and with the community.

Developing our RAP is a long-term commitment that will require ongoing consideration and collaborative effort. Within our community, there is unique knowledge and valuable experience that we would love to see reflected in the ‘Actions’ that we commit to in our RAP. Therefore, to ensure our RAP creates meaningful and sustainable change, we would like to seek your support. This is a call to action for parents/carers, students, and community members to express their interest in helping to drive our RAP development and implementation journey.

If you would like to be involved in any way with the development and ongoing implementation of our RAP, including being part of the RAP Working Group, please email me on felicity.warsop@spc.nsw.edu.au.  If you have any questions, please let me know.
