Week 3, Term 1, 2019

Family Mass Sunday 17th February
This Sunday we will be celebrating our first family mass. Thank you to the families and the children who are participating with readings and the offertory. We look forward to welcoming you all to mass at 9am on Sunday morning.

Living the Word
The tree in the corridor is slowly growing as every child is represented by a butterfly with gospel quotes for every class.
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us Psalm 67:1



Year 5 and 6 Camp
Our Year 5 and 6 children spent a wonderful few days participating in the activities at the ADANAC CYC Campsite in Yarra Junction. Special thanks to Mr Paul Jones who coordinated the camp and to all of the staff who supervised and ensured the camp was a great success. Photos will be available to view shortly.

Calligraphy Incursion

During art lessons on 19, 20 and 20 February, students from all year levels will be enjoying a wonderful experience with calligraphy artist, Kerry Lucas from “Le Petit Moineau”. Kerry is a former teacher with a passion for calligraphy. Each class will learn about the history of calligraphy and have the opportunity to experiment with new tools and materials, to create designs and lettering. It would be fun to get them to show you their new skills when they come home and practise some new lettering styles.

School Photos
A reminder that school photos will be taken on Monday 18th February. All students need to be in full school uniform- no runners- and hair tied back if below the shoulders. Please do not send your child in oversized (JoJo) bows for the school photos. Ribbons should be white or navy.

Siblings ONLY envelopes are available from the office and must be returned to school with your children on Monday.

Children will give their order envelopes to the photographer on Monday.  If you have sent yours to school, they will be handed back to your child on Monday.  If you have ordered online it is still good for the children to have the envelope because they like to hand something over.

Because photos will commence at 9am, there will be no assembly next week.
Parent Teacher Meetings Wednesday 20th March - School finishes at 1PM
Bookings for Wednesday 20th February are now open to meet with your child's teacher.

Meetings will be held in the school hall. Timeslots are 10 minutes.
Parents are reminded to bring the blue information sheet that went home last week, along to the meeting.
Children will be dismissed at 1pm. Lunch orders will operate on this day and Team Kids will be open early from dismissal time.
NB: For those parents who have already booked in for PSG meetings, you will not be required to book another meeting this round.

Parent and Friend Pink List Each year the St Patrick's P&F distribute a parent contact list known as the pink list. The list includes contact names, emails and phone numbers of parents at the School and is a great way for our community to keep in touch. It puts names to faces and helps you to get to know other parents. It is also great for organising playdates, birthday parties, holiday catchups etc.

This year we are changing our data collection process and moving to an 'opt out' procedure. There are multiple ways to update your family details:

* A draft copy will be available to for you to check at the parent teacher meeting on Wednesday night (preferred)
* a direct email to parents will be sent to confirm individual details
* an updated contact form will be available at the office
* direct email to: christiemalexander@gmail.com

If you have any queries, please contact Christie Alexander via the email address above.

Thank you for your support of this useful communication tool.
