Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Term 2!

I hope you are all following Mrs Scott-Pegum’s pilgrimage on our Facebook page. 

This week St Pat's students represented the school and various clubs at the ANZAC Marches across the Bega Valley. I am so thankful for these students and their active participation in our local community. 

Upcoming Dates - Term 2 

The Term 2 calendar is looking rather busy. Below are some of the events we have coming up. 

Mother's Day 

In a few shorts weeks we will be celebrating Mother's Day. Today invitations were sent home for our breakfast and liturgy celebration on Friday 12th May. Please send back the RSVPs by Wednesday 3rd of May so we can ensure catering is organised. 

Sacrament of Confirmation 

Please see dates from Mrs Lott in the news for the Religious Education Coordinator 

Reconciliation Week  27th May-3rd June (Week 6)

On Monday 22nd May we have an Indigenous Performance as part of our curriculum focus for Reconciliation Week - Be a Voice for Generations.

With his quirky laid back style, Tjupurru quickly has his audience greeting him and

responding to his questions in the language of his ancestors the Djabera Djabera

people from the Kimberly region of WA. With numerous opportunities for both individuals on stage and whole audience participation, Didjeribone is a uniquely Australian music experience accompanied by both personal and ancestral stories.

Using the didjeribone, face bass and cutting edge music production equipment, music is played, recorded then instantly played back on a loop to form a backing track. The process is repeated with loop track after loop track being added creating a rich, deep, multi-layered sound-scape. It’s then that the true magic happens as from the didjeribone the haunting wind, howling dingoes and humorous kookaburras populate this genuinely Australian piece of music.
