• 'Music 4 Mr Bennett' afternoon

Next term we are looking forward to another term of learning as we explore our school pillar LOOK AHEAD TO THE FUTURE. Some of the events that will punctuate our term include:

• The Beachathon
• Grandparents Day
• Day for Daniel
• Junior Intensive Swimming
• Life Education (the van was able to be rebooked!)

and the absolutely fabulous

• St Patrick's Community Christmas Festival - 10th Dec

Music 4 Mr Bennett Today we remembered Mr Bennett with a special tribute song 'Here Comes the Sun' at the end of the Bookweek parade, and we had a 'Music 4 Mr Bennett' sharing afternoon in the hall. We thank Mr Broughton, Mr Forbes and Mr Aldridge for entertaining us with music and song as we shared memories of Mr Bennett.

School Holiday Blessings

During Term 3, a group of students from Years 3,4 and 5 learned about the Sacrament of First Eucharist. On Sunday, 11 students from St Pat’s and 4 from surrounding schools received the Holy Eucharist for the first time. This was followed by a morning tea with family, friends and community members to celebrate this very special occasion. We would like to congratulate all the students on this important step in their faith journey and thank Mrs Grant and Fr. Adrian for their organisation.

CLUBS

This term clubs have continued at lunch 3 days a week.
The clubs are led by some of our year 6 leaders and provide an off
playground activity for students to be creative outside of their core
learning.
On Monday we have Games, Lego and Yoga. Chess is proving a
popular lunchtime activity.
On Wednesday’s it is Drama and singing. The Senior drama group have
been busy working on a Hansel and Gretal play, while the juniors have
just started with a short adaptation of Sleeping Beauty.
Fridays are busy with craft and colouring-in. Next term we would like to
introduce dancing as well.
