STUDENT FREE DAYS

Don’t forget to plan for your children’s care on our two additional professional learning days:

Monday 30^th May

Friday 1^st July

Dear Parents and Carers

What a wonderful Week 3 at St Pat’s, and if you like to note the week starting on Sunday, then the beginning of this great week was Mother’s day. We hope families were able to enjoy some quality time together.

A huge school Thank You to the Fundraising Committee for the amazing Mother’s day stall both at school and at the Sapphire Marketplace. I have had a lot of feedback about the delicious scones! We thank the crew at Tulgeen for working in partnership with our committee to pot up such a great variety of beautiful plants and blooms!

I have enjoyed meeting many of our Kinder 2023 students at their interviews and hearing about all the great things 4 year olds like to do and play. If your next child is starting school next year please complete the online enrolment form and our office staff will connect with you to book your interview time.

   

We are looking forward to Open Day for Enrolments next Friday 20^th May. Our Year 6 student leaders will be leading short school tours and then hosting our new families at a St Patrick’s Marketplace they are designing in the hall. Each Year 6 student, or groups of students in their leadership ministries are setting up ‘Ask me about …. @ St Pat’s’ stations. It is great to see our student leaders shine in their preparation for this day.

Wellbeing at St Pat's 

Mrs Grant and I are currently engaged in a professional learning program with Smiling Mind, we were blessed to secure places through the Regional and Rural Schools Program. We look forward to being able to implement some of the wellbeing strategies and use the resources of Smiling Mind at St Pat's into the future.

If you have not used Smiling Mind before, there is a free app with many great resources including meditations. You may find these useful to use with your children. 

Congratulations to the St Pat’s students who have been representing our school far and wide. Please read Mrs Harnett's sports news for further information.
