"The School Advisory Council provides a forum for discussion and discernment, where the parent/guardian voice and perspective are available to inform and support the decisions made by the principal and parish priest for the good of school and parish where the wellbeing and outcomes for students is paramount." (Terms of Reference p.1)

referred to as the ‘Pink List’ that contains every child’s name, class and, with your permission,
your contact details. The Pink List is currently being finalised and you will receive a
hardcopy in the coming days.
Pink List Community Pages
This is a final call if you would like to have your business included in the 2022 Pink List as
it will be due for printing shortly.

Pre-Owned Uniforms - Can you help?
The Pre-Owned uniform shop has been overwhelmed with generous donations.
Thank you to all the families who have contributed, we are currently sorting through these items.
Families wishing to purchase uniform items can email enquiries to
the coordinators: stpatssecondhand
be collected from the school office by parents or your children once advised it is ready.
Our Pre-Owned uniform coordinator would love some help to sort donated items by
size and type and record them in an inventory spreadsheet.
If you can spare a little bit of time each week to help, please email stpatssecondhanduniforms
Pizza Nights
Traditionally the younger year levels hold a casual pizza night in a local park on a Friday night within term 1.
These are organised by P&F class reps or parent volunteers and are a lovely way to
welcome new parents or catch up with other parents in the year level.
Further communications will be coming out shortly, but the following dates have been booked in so far:
- Prep - Friday 4th March at Packer Park
- Year 1 - Friday 18th March at Packer Park
- Year 2 - Friday 25 March at Murrumbeena Park, Kangaroo Road
- Year 3 - Friday 1st April - Murrumbeena Park, Kangaroo Road
- Year 4 - TBAPatCare
The St Patrick’s community support program (PatCare) is a long-standing group that
supports members of our local community during times of need.
Its volunteer base is coordinated through the St Patrick’s Parents & Friends,
but the support is administered confidentially by the school.
We are always looking to grow the list of volunteers available to assist.
Liz Hills will engage with families or individuals experiencing serious illness,
grief or other hardship to identify what support PatCare would be appreciated,
for example with a meal or two. We also support families with new babies
to help in that initial busy period. Liz will then liaise with our PatCare coordinator,
who then contacts the list of volunteers to see who is available to assist.
The meal is dropped to the school by the volunteers,
and Liz will arrange delivery to the recipient.
If you would like to be a P&F Class Rep but you have not reached out,
please email the P&F team: pandf@spmurrumbeena.
