FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Term 3.

We have had a happy and wonderfully busy start to the term with the commencement of the Footsteps program on Wednesday, the School Athletics Carnival yesterday, and the multiple learning activities and the liturgy celebration for NAIDOC week. 

Thank you to the families who brought their 0-5 year olds for the first morning of Storytime and Connection - Footsteps! Thank you to Mrs Collins for facilitating the fun. The focus of the morning was a story about monsters, making monster masks and other playtime fun.

Thanks Mrs Harnett for another great day on the athletics track and field yesterday. Congratulations to every student who participated and strove for their personal best in every event. Well done to the age champions and to the winning house on your well deserved success. More information in SPORT news.

At the end of Term 2 we farewelled Mrs Chantelle Dixon-Stewart from her 2 day per week role as Aboriginal Education Worker. We thank Chantelle for her dedication and service and thank her for remaining on the casual roster so that we may see her from time to time. We hope to recruit another AEW soon to join Mr George Aldridge in this important role in our school.

At our liturgy for NAIDOC on Wednesday, we unveiled a memorial sculpture in honour of Aunty Kim Aldridge and her dedication and service to St Patrick's school as our Aboriginal Education Worker from 2000 - 2017. The sculpture is a black duck, Umbarra, the totem of the Yuin Nation. Mr George Aldridge, Kim's son, and one of our current AEW's did the honour of unveiling.

We thank Mr Jordan Tarlinton for his artistic creation and installation.

Today many of us have spent time honouring and remembering Harmony Morrow, some of you may have been at Harmony's funeral. As we mourn the loss of Harmony, we remember her face and voice as a happy, efficient and friendly member of our office team, and also as a parent in our community. We remember her for her kindness, caring and love, her zest for life, and her wonderful friendship. We send our deep condolences to Tim, Kayden, Noah and Ryder. And we pray,

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. AMEN
