Student Leaders Today we honoured our Year 6 students at the opening school Mass and presented their leadership badges. Congratulations to all Year 6 students for the roles you will assume this year.

Parent Information Night Next Wednesday night we will have PIN, short for a Parent Information Night. We will meet in the hall at 6pm for short messages from myself and the Leadership Team and to introduce our staff. You will then move to your child's year level /stage for a presentation from the teachers about the year ahead, and some information about the term. Finally, you will get to see your child's classroom. This is a parent / carer event. If you do not have care for your children we will have quiet supervision available in the library for the duration of the classroom part of the meeting.

Faith in Learning Day On Monday our staff gathered with 2300 teachers and support staff from across the archdiocese for Faith in Learning Day. The focus of the day was building knowledge and understanding of both the Science of Learning and the Science of Reading and the implications for classroom practice, as well as connecting and sharing with colleagues from across the system. The day began with three addresses to the gathering from Archbishop Christopher Prowse, our system director Ross Fox, and Noel Pearson. Many nationally and internationally renowned speakers presented throughout the day. We are excited to continue the Catalyst journey at St Pat's this year.

 

Have a great weekend. See you in Week 2!

Blessings
