FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Carers,
What a wonderful celebration of our school on Wednesday at our school OPEN day. We had 17 families of kindergarten 2022 children tour the school and visit the marketplace that we set up in the school hall. It was great to see the younger siblings of many current students preparing for their start to school, and some new families who will soon be part of the St Pat's family.
Our school captains and vice captains and senior students showed their leadership through conducting the classroom and school site tours as well as setting up and facilitating the ‘Ask Me About….’ stations in the marketplace. I am so proud of our Year 6 students who accept new responsibilities as they are presented and show happy diligence to do their best.
Southern Region School Connections
At our staff meeting this week we welcomed Mrs Susan Tighe, principal of St Joseph’s Bombala, as the facilitator. We explored further our thinking and practice of moderation of student learning and making objective curriculum based judgements on samples of student learning.
This year St Joseph’s, St Pat’s Cooma and St Pat’s Bega are planning for deeper teacher collaboration around consistency of teacher judgement.
Year 6 to Year 7 Transition
This week we welcomed a number of Lumen Christi students and Principal Mr Shane Giles. The year 6 students were given a brief presentation and insight into the life of Lumen Christi.
