Principal's Report
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Week 8 and the onset of Autumn! The cooler mornings and evening have been very noticeable lately and it is a timely reminder that jumpers are a good addition to the school bag every day.
This week is a very special week for our St Patrick’s school family as we celebrate the feast day of our school patron saint-St Patrick this Thursday 17th March. All students and staff are asked to wear as much green as possible and come ready to enjoy a day of great fun. Staff have planned some great rotational activities for the afternoon. Thank you to our tuckshop helpers for organising some special ‘green’ lunch treats to enjoy as well. I know everyone is looking forward to those green sausages!!
A special welcome is extended to Justin Sedrak who has joined our Year 1 class. We also welcome Justin’s parents, Simon and Sylvia to our school community. We look forward to the Sedrak family becoming part of our school family.
We are very happy to be able to put in place all of the updated COVID regulations given our continuing low positive case numbers. Cohorting will be removed as from tomorrow and RATS kits are only required to be used when symptomatic. Masks remain optional for staff and students to use. We are delighted to finally welcome parents and visitors back onto school grounds as well. Parents are now welcome to enter the school grounds to drop off students or pick students up in the afternoon. We will continue to operate school activities under COVID safe procedures.
St Patrick’s Parish will be hosting a two day street stall this Thursday and Friday. All donations of saleable food and items are welcome. Please drop donations to the street stall in the morning.
May the luck of the Irish be with you all this week and may St Patrick bless and guide our school community always.
