Lent
Ash Wednesday is the start of the Lenten season. On Ash Wednesday Christians receive a cross of ashes on their foreheads to symbolise their repentance and a wish to turn back to God and try not to make the same mistakes again. Lent is a time of prayer, fasting and giving to the poor.
My Body, My Life Puberty and Personal Development Program Year 5 and 6
The Archdiocesan Relationship Education Team are very excited to be visiting
St Patrick’s Primary School to run the My Body, My Life puberty and personal development program with Grade 5 and 6 on Tuesday, 7th March 2023.
Our team of relationship educators and trained youth ministers will be working in small groups with the year 5 and 6 students for 2 hours, to give them the best opportunity to be involved in discussion and learning.
St Patrick’s requested early access to the online units for all parents of last year’s grade 3, 4, 5 & 6 students. Parents can access the content, at their discretion, with or without your child. The videos are still available here at his link: https://cgcatholic.org.au/my-body-my-life/st-patricks-bega/.
For more information, please see the parent information letter on Compass.

Supporting Students - Transition to Kindergarten
Will one of your children be of school age next year? It is not too early to book a meeting to discuss how St Pat's can support the transition to Kindergarten. We will share further information about our Big Steps program in the coming weeks.
Some of our Pre-Kinders are already practicing wearing their school uniform to preschool!
