Out and About

This week St Pat's students have been out and about on excursions.

Junior Primary went on a walking excursion to the Bega Library on Wednesday for National Simultaneous Story Time. 

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. Now in its 24th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.

On Wednesday Year 6 attended Lumen Christi's Open Day. The students participated in Science, Physical Education and Art lessons.

On Thursday Year 5 and 6 attended a NRL Gala Day.

Upcoming Events - National Reconciliation Week Picnic

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

On Friday 31st May at 11am St Pat's will be hosting a picnic for morning tea on the bottom flats with story sharing and games. Families and the community are invited to attend. We will provide fruit platters and popcorn for the children to share.
