Happy Easter & Thank you for Your Support During Term 1
As our first term draws to a close we thank all of you for your support for St Patrick's school, our students and our staff. I especially wish to acknowledge Father Leenus, our very supportive leadership team, office staff and all staff at school this term who have helped us to provide the best education for your children. Thank you to our wonderful Parish Education Board members and the hardworking Parents and Friends Committee. Thanks to all parents who have participated in parent evenings, open mornings, excursions, sports events and parent helper workshops. Together we are focussed on supporting your children to be engaged and motivated, always faithful to our loving God.
I take this opportunity to wish you a safe holiday period and a blessed Easter from all of the staff.
We look forward to welcoming you all back to school on Tuesday 23rd April.

Thank-you from Hayden's Helping Hands!
A big thank-you to the families who have so kindly donated items to help the homeless with the Hayden's Helping Hands charity... and to those who have also signed up as Volunteers! Special thanks to Vanessa Coburn and Danny Egan for the Winter clothes and huge box of socks. There's a collection box at the school office so if you're clearing out the wardrobe in preparation for Winter, feel free to drop clothing or other items in there.

We farewell and thank Miss Fiona Walsh well as she takes on a Year 3/4 classroom teaching position at her new school next term. Fortunately our expert lead teachers, Mrs Liz Hills and Mrs Kerryn Oliver will teach 6W along with Mrs Bernadette Gallagher. Together with Miss La Fontaine in 6L, they will continue to ensure all of our Year 6 student leaders are engaged and motivated.

This will be presented in Week 2 in Term 2 on Wednesday May 1st from 2:35 pm until 3:25 pm in the Year 5 and 6 classrooms.
Congratulations to Miss Maddy Kapler (1A) and Mr Luke Daidone (3D) on receiving recognition as outstanding new teachers at the recent Catholic Education Melbourne awards ceremony.
