Week 6 Term 1 2020

St Patrick's Day Mass (at the earlier date of Friday 13th March)
Thanks to our families who supported our first Family mass for the year.
Due to the Year 5 & 6's being away on a school camp to Canberra on St Patrick's Day, mass and the activities have been moved to Friday 13th March.
The children will attend mass as a school at 9:10am and all families are welcome to join us.
On Friday 13th March our children can wear green clothes instead of their school uniform.to celebrate St Patrick's day

Assembly Tuesday 10th March 9am
There will be an assembly on Tuesday morning to present SRC and Leadership Badges as well as class awards.

Beachside Swimming Carnival Results
Today we had a total of 16 St Pats students that represented us at the Dendy District Beachside Division Swimming Carnival. The competition was held at Oakleigh Rec Centre against 6 other districts all with their top swimmers from across Melbourne. All students represented the school and district swimming exceptionally well against some tough individuals and teams. None of our students got through to the next stages but all should be very proud of their efforts.

Congratulations to the following students who had qualified and/or represented St Pats:
Max Sheedy
Noah Bacon
Caitlin Slade

Tara Magnanini
Olivia Hartnett

Child Safety WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECKS WWCC
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.
