FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 5/6 Canberra Camp: Thank you to Mrs Carracher, Mr Broughton, Ms Nicholas and Mrs Bateman for taking our senior students on their 3 day Canberra excursion. We know the students will have appreciated your care, guidance and teaching in that new context and for the opportunity to participate in the camp. A big thank you to Mrs Sheahan for all her organisation and coordination skills ensuring everything about the trip went smoothly! We can't wait to hear the many things they learned from the busy schedule!
Staff: We welcome Mrs Nancy Santos to the teaching team of St Patrick’s. Mrs Santos will be teaching Year 3/4M when Mrs McNoe goes on maternity leave early in Term 2. We will tell you more about Mrs Santos at the beginning of Term 2!
Working Bee: We are thankful for the rain and the growth it brings, however all of our gardens and grounds are in need of LOTS of HELP! We have planned an ALL GREEN THINGS working bee for the morning of the last Saturday of the holidays. PLEASE come. We need you! See the flyer attached for more information and put your name on the eform so we know who is coming! Thanks.
Here are the students from 12B weeding and harvesting.
Open Day: During enrolment time, on Wednesday 28th April, we have planned a school OPEN DAY. For all families considering enrolling at St Pat’s there are times to book for a tour ending in a market place in the school hall. Please inform family and friends who are considering enrolling to book a time through https://www.trybooking.com/BQERS
Easter We have walked the journey with Jesus this week from the joy of the crowds waving palms and welcoming Jesus on Palm Sunday and the breaking of the bread and sharing of the cup at the Last Supper. We have heard the story of agony from Jesus praying in the garden and walking the stations of the cross to the crucifixion. We end with the Christian celebration of all believers that Jesus has risen from the dead, and the wonder and mystery the Resurrection.
Easter raffle: Congratulations to the 10 winners of the Easter raffle prizes. Zaviea, Machlan(2), Jack G, Austin, Jayme, Eli, Flynn, Bella and Trey.
Thank you to the Community Council, in particular Mrs Shoveller and Mrs Salway for organising the raffle prizes and Mrs Kennedy for coming to help with the draw.
Wishing you all a happy and a holy Easter.
Jo
