Dear Parents and Carers,

This week has been a week of focussed learning for our students with many of them being recognised at morning assembly, and throughout learning and play, for demonstrating St Pat's Kids behaviours. I was thrilled to have many students come and visit me to share their learning journals, others shared when I visited their classrooms. Many students proudly show a growing number of St Pat's stickers that they have been awarded for their behaviours for learning and engagement. 

 

 

Yesterday I had the privilege of spending quality time in Kinder during their Maths block. I was so impressed by the students engagement and readiness to learn. In groups they were using dominoes to 'make 9,' some students found the single dominoes with 9 dots, others found 2 or even 3 dominoes where the sum of the dots was 9. There was great mathematical language, 'I need more,' 'I have too many,' '6 and 3 more is nine,' etc being shared between the students. After Maths the children enjoyed a few minutes of reading time.

  

Congratulations to our St Patrick's students who displayed beautiful and creative Visual Arts work at the Bega Show. It was wonderful to see some of our students achieve an award from the judges.

   

Congratulations to our swim team for the fantastic results at Narooma yesterday! Thanks to the dedicated parents for getting your children to the carnival and to Mrs Harnett for managing our team. A summary of the results are in Mrs Harnett's sport news, one proud swimmer who returned to school for part of the day showed her ribbon to me.

Blessings on a family centred weekend.
