Dear Parents and Carers

What a fabulous celebration we had in honour of our patron saint, St Patrick, yesterday. Fr Bill told us a lot about Patrick in his homily at our school Mass, and many of our students knew so much about the life and ministry of Patrick. Thanks to Mrs Sheahan, Mrs Ferris and Mrs Grant for all of their organisation.

Thank you to the members of the Community Engagement Committee for their organisation of a fun and family oriented St Patrick's gathering in the hall and on the flats after school yesterday. Many thanks to Nicole , Roz , Tam from the committee and the team of other Community Council members and parents/ grandparents including Carmen & Brad, Pam, Dean, Katrina & Errol, Emily, Fiona, and of course the great student team for the hair spraying and face painting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Year 6 Leadership

Congratulations Rylan on being appointed one of the two ICT Leader at St Pat's. Thanks for your willingness to help with technology across the school.

Learning and Engagement

We continue to promote our 'every minute counts' language at school so that our students know the importance of using their time wisely to fully engage in their learning. Mrs Sheahan and I have been enjoying visiting classes to see learning in action as well as to honour students who are being recognised daily for the attributes of St Pat's kids.

Covid 19 and other illness

Thank you for your diligence in keeping children who have even mild symptoms home from school. We have noticed that there have been several different illnesses in our community in recent days.

Some families have asked about when students can return to school after covid isolation. The advice is to isolate for 7 days after a positive test result, or as a household contact of a positive case returning to school can occur from day 8 if symptom free.

Blessings on a restful weekend.
