Community Council Meeting

The Community Council meet via zoom for its meeting on Wednesday 5 August.

It’s with much anticipation and excitement we announce the Senior playground is completed! Children have been able to explore this wonderful new play space this week. With reports of beaming smiles, laughter and physical limits challenged, we can safely say it’s a hit! We are proud to have supported this project and we would also like to thank the former P&F committee for their support.

You will recall feedback was sought from the school community regarding families feeling connected and supported within our school community. Thank you to all those who offered feedback. Given continuing COVID restrictions, the Community Council has decided to revisit these ideas at a later time, once restrictions ease.

The Community Council is seeking input from the school community regarding the proposed use of Social Media for sharing celebrations and positive learning experiences with the broader community. Please keep an eye out for a survey being sent home with the eldest child from each family.

A request from an external Music Educator to conduct private music lessons in the school hall has been approved. More information regarding this opportunity will be made available via SkoolBag shortly.

The Community Council continues to explore several grant funding opportunities with the aim to further support our St Patrick’s School Community in numerous ways. A grant application through UNICEF was recently submitted.

We are grateful for the support of Catholic Education’s Student Welfare and Counselling program, which has been increased from 1 day per fortnight to 6 hours per week.

The tender process for the new toilets was extended to 7 August. Further information regarding this project will be available after our next meeting.

The next Community Council meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 9 September, via zoom.

We are here to help so please reach out if we can support you in any way. Take care.
