Here is a special prayer reflection for the universal year of St Joseph.
Beachside Swimming Carnival
Today we had 13 St Pats students that qualified to represent the Dendy District at the Beachside Division Swimming Carnival. The competition was held at Oakleigh Rec Centre against other districts all with their top swimmers from across Melbourne competing. All our students represented the school and district exceptionally well, swimming beautifully against some tough individuals and teams. We will hear more results soon to see if any students progressed through to the south metro comp.
Congratulations to the following students, all should be very proud of their efforts.
Year 4: Ewan, Eliza, Audrey
Year 5: Jonathan, Max, Joe, Noah
Year 6: Caitlin, Harper, Olivia, Grace, Millie, Carla
Congratulations to our award winners from this week. You can check out the presentation of awards on this video.

2021 Pink List
Thanks to the wizardry of our Pink List coordinator Christie Alexander, collation of children & parent details have been finalised, with copies anticipated to be sent home next week. Each family will receive one hardcopy and a year level list electronically. Thank you to all families for your prompt responses and to Christie for her hard work. Please check out our community pages and support our school families where you can.
P&F Fundraising for 2021
In consultation with the school, money raised by the P&F in 2021 will help fund the installation of a running track in the rear yard in memory of Michelle Barclay. Michelle taught PE at St Patrick's for many years and sadly passed away last year. We think this will be a wonderful tribute to her, and a fitting legacy item for our children to enjoy at school.
Next P&F Meeting - Tuesday 16th March at 7.30pm (School Hall & Zoom)
The next meeting of the P&F Committee will be on Tuesday 16th March at 7.30pm in the school hall (unless COVID restrictions apply) or via Zoom.

We’re excited to be launching a new program at Chadstone – The Fashion Capital supporting our local schools.
We are pleased to have St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School on board.
We are making some changes to current advertising already in market to include St Patrick's school, so please note St Patrick’s will not feature on our in-centre activation or all participating schools lists until the campaign commences this Saturday 6 March.
With $20,000 worth of prizing on offer, this program encourages the support of families, teachers and friends within your local school community.
To ensure this program has the greatest impact locally, the prizing will be in the form of resources chosen by the school at selected participating Chadstone retailers.
For example, the Apple Store for new devices/computers or STEM games, Rebel Sport for a range of sporting equipment and JB HiFi for cameras, TVs and electronics.
How does it work?
Vote for your school to receive up to $20,000 worth of resources!
The voting process at Chadstone has been designed to be engaging for kids with a fun display of interactive token boxes located next to the main Concierge Desk, opposite Michael Hill.
The school with the most tokens will receive the Chadstone Loves Local Grand Prize!
