Reconciliation
Special thanks to Bishop Elliott and the visiting priests who ensured that the combined 3N and 3O Reconciliation evening went so well. Bishop Elliott spoke to me afterwards and commended the teachers and the children on how well prepared the children were. Thank you to all of the families who participated and supported their children. Thank you to Mrs Mullan and the staff who contributed to such a beautiful celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Thank you and POPE (Parents as Open Partners in Education) feedback opportunity
A HUGE thanks to our parents who continually show their support for all that we do at school. We appreciate you taking the time to come and talk to us whenever you have any questions or concerns. We are grateful for the positive feedback we receive. Our staff are continually reviewing practices to ensure our children are: Engaged and motivated learners always faithful to our loving God.
Based on best practice research around collecting feedback (see Schools That Deliver Conference information and video at this link ), I will be getting in touch with parents to arrange a one to one meeting time linked to our vision narrative “We value rich, regular, quality feedback...”
I will be asking, “What is going well at St Pat’s for your child/children ?" This will be personalised according to the year level of your children.
Child Safety at St Patrick's
This is the first of a series of videos I am preparing with our Year 6 leaders. We hope that parents will watch these videos and discuss them with their children as we focus on our role as a Child Safe school. Our aim is to share the systems we have in place at St Patrick's school. Please come and speak with me if you have any worries and concerns or follow the flowchart link below.
You can access our concerns flowchart at this link on our learning site.
Request for parent support with our Nude Food programme
Last year, the children began a compositing programme at school. Unfortunately the parent who was helping us is unable to continue to support this initiative. We would be grateful for any further support from our parent community. Please let me know if you would like to help us.
Special Assembly for semester 2 SRC Representatives
At assembly on Monday 6th August, the Semester 2 Student Representatives will be presented with their badges. All parents welcome.
Sickness
Recently we have had a few instances of gastro so we have been encouraging the children to follow healthy hygiene habits, especially washing their hands regularly. If your child feels unwell in the morning, please keep them at home to rest and recover.
