HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY for the 17th March
We are enjoying a day of celebration today for the namesake of our school, St Patrick.
Our day began with a special mass celebrated with Fr Paul. The church was filled with a sea of green. Fr Paul reminded the children to be like St Patrick who spent time praying and trying to always be the best that he could be.
Special thanks to our Year 1 and Year 2 teachers for planning the activities and our Year 6 students for leading the activities. The day will finish with the long awaited Colour Run and a special splash of green colour for St Patrick's Day. Thanks to Michelle Barclay, Annie and Bree and all of the P & F parents for their hard work in planning and preparing for the fun run.
Parish Education Board News
The St Patrick's prayer above was shared at our AGM meeting on Wednesday. The prayer helps to remind us of our responsibility as board members to ensure we remain true to the spirit and heart of God in the work we do. Our children and their education and well being are at the heart of all decisions that we make.
Fr Paul officially welcomed three new board members to replace our board members who have completed their two year terms. Special thanks to Kylie Newman, Shaun Bacon and Travis Westcott for their valued contribution to the board.
We warmly welcomed the following parents: Jenny Jones, Steven Peters and John O'Sullivan. We also thank John O'Sullivan for taking on the Chairperson role and Gabby Paroli for continuing her excellent work as the secretary.
We look forward to sharing the annual board reports with you on our Learning Site when the formal school Annual Report 2017 is available once it is has been signed off by the Catholic Education Office.
