It is lovely to see everyone return to school with enthusiasm and energy ready for the new school year. A special welcome to all of our new children across the school and of course our preps and their families. |

PARENT CONNECTION EVENT WEDNESDAY 6TH FEBRUARY 7-8pm
This Wednesday at 7pm in the school hall, all parents are welcome to join us. You will get an opportunity to meet all of our staff and learn about our plans for 2019. There will be representatives from the Parents and Friends and our Parish Education Board attending the event too. The staff are looking forward to coming together with the parent community for our first event for the year.
ST PATRICK'S SCHOOL CHOIR
The lunch orders are now being delivered at the earlier time of 12:00.
This means that there will not be enough time to ring through any late or forgotten lunch orders. Children will need to remember to put the order in their lunch order tub.
Nude Food
All lunch rubbish (including food scraps) such as Glad wrap, apple cores, fruit boxes etc will be taken home by the children. We are trying to encourage an awareness of waste and sustainability and your support is appreciated.
WEEKLY ASSEMBLY
The whole school come together in the hall every Monday morning from 9:00-9:20 am. This is the time when awards will be presented to children
WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECKS
During the year there are many occasions when we will request the assistance of parent helpers with activities. These activities may include: inter-school sports events, school excursions, classroom helpers, cooking, etc.
In line with our Child Safe Policy, St Patrick’s requires that any parents who wish to help in this capacity must have a current Working With Children Check. Parent helpers are asked to bring their WWCC card with them when they sign in on the i-pad at the school office. WWCCs can be applied for online at http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au and are free for volunteers.
We value the contributions of parent helpers across the school and strongly urge ALL parents to apply for a WWCC.
PLAYGROUND SAFETY
A reminder that dogs are not permitted in the school playground.
