Fee Relief for Families Impacted by COVID -19
We wish to reassure any of our families impacted financially by the coronavirus pandemic that we want to assist you in every way possible to continue your child’s enrolment at St Patrick's.
As many in our school community grapple with unprecedented changes to finances, emotional wellbeing and physical health, we have taken a clear position on enrolments.
No parent or guardian who wishes their child to receive a Catholic education at St Patrick's will be denied the opportunity to do so because of financial circumstances.
If you have concerns about your financial situation, please contact Jenny Hawkins directly (principal@spmurrumbeena.catholic.edu.au) so that we can explore confidential financial support arrangements to enable your child’s ongoing education at our school.

Term 2 commencement
At this stage, Term 2 is still scheduled to start on Tuesday 14 April 2020 with a pupil-free school closure day. The form of the commencement via online and/or onsite learning for some or all students has not been finalised by the Minister for Education as yet. As more specific advice becomes available from the Department of Education and Training, the CECV (Catholic Education Commission Victoria) will update all Catholic schools and I will update you as soon as possible.
Continue to stay safe with your families in the coming week. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. The staff and I look forward to reconnecting with you in Term 2 in one form or another.
Every blessing for the Easter period,
Jenny Hawkins
