It was FABULOUS to once again have a live audience at our concert! Imagine it is the first time our Kinders, Year 1's and Year 2's have had a live audience for their performance! 

And, an event like that needs a lot of people to make it a success, and now it is time to iterate our thanks!

Aleeta Northey - fabulous choreography

Adam Twyford - lights, camera, action!

Ross Mannell - Videography

Mrs McPherson and Ms Grainger - for the fantastic backdrop

School Captains and Vice Captains - waxing lyrical and connecting the whole concert with STYLE!

Teaching and support staff - for DEDICATION, persistence, and patience in support of everyone's learning and performing:)

Mrs Sheahan - everything administration and organisation & behind the scenes 

Mrs Grant - Tech wizard

The St Pat's stars - For entertaining us - as they always do.

St Pat's Community Council - Fundraising Committee and volunteers for a great dinner and some concert snacks.

**If you haven't seen the photos from the first matinee performance on BDN take a look.

Sudsy challenge

The St Pat's Leadership Team and staff are supporting the Sudsy Challenge from Orange Sky Laundry once again this year. We will wear the same clothes for 3 consecutive days to raise awareness and money in support of people suffering from homelessness.

All students are invited to join us! Yes - wearing the same school clothes for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Some challengers choose to sleep in the clothes too, we are not at that level (yet!).

R U OK?Day 2022 - Nationwide event

R U OK?Day is Thursday 8 September 2022. It’s our National Day of Action when we remind Australians to ask, ‘are you OK?’ and start a meaningful conversation to support those in their world through life’s ups and downs.This year the message is: Ask R U OK? - No qualifications needed. We want to remind Australians they already have what it takes to support their family, friends and colleagues. You don’t need to be an expert to have an R U OK? conversation. Listening and giving someone your time might be just what they need to help them through. Tune in for our nationwide virtual event where we’ll be joined by a number of special guests who will help us share conversation tips and personal stories. Register for the free short event here:
