Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to two new St Patrick's students, Shawna in Year 4 and Elaine in Kinder. It is wonderful to have these students joining our school community.
Thank you for making time to speak with your child's teacher at the recent parent teacher conversations. Strong partnerships between home and school have a great positive benefit for your child's learning and engagement at school.
Thank you to our terrific St Patrick's teachers and Classroom Support Assistants for the hard work and dedication through Term 1.
We thank Mrs Noack, Mrs Wiley and Mr McGann for taking our Year 5/6 students to Camp Cooba for their 3 day senior camp. It was a wonderful experience for all, with opportunity for our students to be challenged through many fun team building and physical pursuits. We look forward to hearing about our students setting and achieving goals at camp.
On Wednesday many of our Year 3/4 students represented St Pat's at the AFL gala day. This was a great day of fun and sport. We commend 5 of our students who gladly offered to play for Tanja school to ensure they had a full team for the day. Thank you Coby, Jackson, Keeret, Evie and Shawna!
We will have a busy and enjoyable start to Term 2 with the Life Education Van visit in the first week of term.
In Week 2 we look forward to our Mother's Day breakfast and the Beachathon on the same day! We hope you have booked Friday 10th of May in your calendar. Mums and mother figures are welcome for a yummy sausage sizzle breakfast with their children, and to join in the fun of the beachathon if you can!
This year the Beachathon is one of the Community Council Fundraisers for our school. Put the sponsorship form on the kitchen counter, during the holidays your children will be able to seek sponsorship from their family, friends and neighbours. The funds will be going to more sport and play equipment at school.
Blessings on a safe and happy holiday for you and your family.
Jo
