Dear Parents and Carers,

Life is slowly moving back to familiar patterns for many of us. Our children are coming to school, many shops and businesses are reopening, our capacity to move around the local region and a little further afield is also more possible and we are resuming many activities that we enjoyed before.

During the covid-19 pandemic time there has been (forced) time for each of us to think and rethink, to make and establish new habits personally and for our families. Have you had a chance as a family to think about some of your new patterns of behaviour and life that you want to continue? One way to process this is to look at a KEEP, STOP, START protocol.

What new ways do we want to keep in our lives and family?

What do we want to stop doing? What do we want to leave behind?

What do we want to start doing? What will our new normal look like?

At school we have been reflecting on the experience and learnings from remote teaching and learning time and considering these questions.

AROUND THE SCHOOL

Continuing the joy of having our St Pat’s kids back at school here are some playtime snaps from the week.

 

       

  

Have a wonderful family weekend.

Religious Education

Sacraments

As restrictions change we will endeavour to continue our Sacramental Program. Please continue to check Skoolbag and the newsletter for updates.

Prayer at Home

Prayer leads us forward in hope - Pope Francis

COVID may have posed some challenges to gather however our community has embraced different ways to pray together.

To continue to pray in the company of others, our family, our friends, and colleagues, is an essential element of our communities and part of our religious life. Christ himself encouraged us to pray together: “For wherever two or more are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20).
