FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Carers
This week our student and staff community has been significantly impacted by a variety of illnesses. We are thankful to work in strong partnership with you for the health and wellbeing of your children and of all our students. Thank you for keeping your children home if they are unwell, thank you for collecting your children if they become unwell at school. We hope that we will soon see all children back at school and the class communities can be complete! If your child is recuperating at home and well enough to continue some learning please access some of the learning resources that are available on Seesaw.
Welcome Mr Healey
We are so happy to have employed our new Maintenance person at St Pat's. Welcome Mr Cam Healey! Perhaps we should say welcome back. We are so happy that Mr Healey loves our school so much that following being a student, including being the school captain, and a parent in our community, he is now on staff!
Congratulations Lily and Henry
We are so proud of our two St Pat's kids who swam their fastest at the State Championships in Sydney. We congratulate Lily on winning her freestyle event. Wow! Lily will now compete at the NSWPSSA Swimming Championships! Congratulations Henry for placing 13th in 50m Freestyle!
Year 6 Leadership
Will and Monique are our Indigenous Leaders in 2022. I thank them for their patience in awaiting the badges to honour the role. We will share a photo of Monique next week.
