To the Staff of St Patrick’s Primary School

On behalf of St Patrick’s Primary School Community Council, I would like to express our sincere thanks to each and every single staff member for all of the effort you have put in this year to keep the school running as smoothly as possible.  We appreciate that this has only happened through much energy, determination and personal sacrifice.

2020 has been a year like no other, to put it mildly.  We have all faced challenges that have required us to draw on our own strength and resilience to persevere at times when it has felt difficult and overwhelming.  Then super heroes, like yourselves, working in schools are also helping our children navigate these unusual, and at times, unsettling situations.  We appreciate all the effort that has also gone into incorporating the extra responsibilities and requirements that have come along with this brave new world.  No role in the school has been untouched and we value what you have all done.

As parents, carers and family, we are in awe and incredibly grateful for all St Patrick’s staff providing a safe and welcoming environment for our children.  Without a doubt, it has helped our children cope and has kept them safe.

We are so proud of our St Patrick's staff and appreciate your dedication and strength during these unprecedented times.  If there is any way in which we can support you, please let us know.

Our greatest appreciation and admiration to you all.

Regards

Kat Hergenhan
