This Tuesday, the children preparing to receive their First Eucharist will have a special reflection day. They will make their First Communion on Sunday 15 September at 9am and 5pm. Let's keep them all in our prayers.
Grandparents and Special Friends Day Friday 13th September
Next Friday, 13th September, we will be celebrating Grandparents and Special Friends Day.
We ask that grandparents and special friends arrive at school by 9am and make their way over to the church. The children will sit with their grandparents and special friends at mass. Mass will commence at 9.10am.
After mass our special guests are invited to join their grandchildren for a tour of their classrooms and complete a family activity together.
At 11.00am all grandparents and special friends are welcome to enjoy some morning tea in the hall provided by St Pat’s Parents & Friends.
Daffodil Day
Thank you everyone for your generous donations for Daffodil Day.
We have raised almost $1500 for the Cancer Council. An amazing effort.
Congratulations to all of our Year 6 leaders who participated in the Public Speaking Graduation Night on Tuesday evening. The students are to be commended for the high standard of their speeches. Special thanks to Mrs Sandra de Geest for teaching the children to develop their skills and to the Year 6 teachers, Natalie La Fontaine and Jo Guscott for their support.

The school review finished on Tuesday with the VRQA compliance audit. Our school was commended for many of it's exemplary practices.
Here is a link to some information about the Specific Focus Review with photos of the staff and students in action. The post is entitled Archaeological Dig Unearths Invaluable Treasure. We will receive the final report towards the end of the term. The recommendations will drive our School Improvement Plan for the next four years and we look forward to sharing this with you early next term.
Gardening Club
Thanks to Rose from Bunnings with generous donations of plants and gardening equipment, our new school garden is beginning to take shape. Special thanks to Kirsten Tranter for getting in touch with Bunnings and Grace Pius and Francoise Tran for supporting the Monday Gardening Club along with the Year 6 Leaders. We will share photos of the gardeners in action on the school Facebook Page.
Sport News
Well done to our representatives who competed at Albert Park Division Athletics on Friday. Thanks Kylie Telfer for the photo and to the parents who supported this event.
Spring has sprung and there is no time like the present to do a spring clean at home and scout around for items that can be donated to the St Patrick’s School Fair. There are several things that you may have around the house that could help us out.
Books – The Book Stall is always a winner at the event. We are seeking any good quality, second hand books that you might be willing to donate. In particular, children’s books or adult/teen fiction would be most appreciated. Books can be dropped off to Jenny Jones at 49 Brett Street, Murrumbeena (just around the corner from the School). They can be left on the porch for collection. Multi-use bags – We are also collecting any multi-use cloth or plastic shopping bags that can be used for customers to take their books home. These can also be given to Jenny as per above.
Frolic in the garden this Spring - The Fair is also seeking plastic pots (up to 20cm in diameter) for the plant stall. So if you have any lying around in the backyard or garage please drop them to the plant club table at the rear of the school - next to the bike shed. Small seedlings, indoor plants, herbs/tomato plant clippings would also be appreciated.
The Fair is an exciting event for our community. There will be several opportunities to assist us along the way or on the day itself. Please keep an eye out for communications from your class rep or through flexibuzz. If you have any special skills/sponsorship opportunities or donations please contact the committee via the school.
Thank you for your continued support of this important event.
