Principal's Report

Dear Parents,

We hope our families enjoyed some relaxation time over the extra long weekend. The staff certainly appreciated the time last Friday to spend time re-engaging with Professional Development on the CATAYLST program and completing Module 4 of the High Impact Teaching Practices. Staff were able to review Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction and the Four Strands of High Impact Principle’s. Daily reviews are being incorporated into teaching practice along with other strategies to support Cognitive Load Theory.

WR ATHLETICS CARNIVAL: This Thursday, student representatives from Years 2-6 will head off to the WR Athletics Carnival at Cootamundra. We wish all our competitors a great day and look forward to hearing the results of the day.

WR CHOIR COMPETITION: On Thursday 23rd June, students in Year 5/6 who have joined our school choir, will head off to the WR Choir Competition that is being held at Hennessey Catholic College, Young. Our very grateful thanks are extended to Mrs Alicia Hargreaves who has been conducting the singing lessons with the support of Mrs Anne Field and Mrs Kate Graham. Our choir group has come a long way over the past few weeks and are nearly ready for the big event.

Tell Them From Me (TTFM) our online survey platform has been extended until Friday 17th June. This platform is open for all parents to provide feedback about St Patrick’s School. The information collected is a valuable tool to help us evaluate and plan ahead. Please use the link provided below to undertake the survey. We appreciate the input from our parents to help us as we plan for the 2023 school year.

Semester One Reports: Teachers are busily preparing student Semester One reports to be ready to go home in Week 9. Report gradings are based on assessment data that is regularly collected across Term 1 and 2. A final comment has been included in the report but please note that teachers are limited to 800 characters for comments.  This year, parents will be asked to book an interview time via the COMPASS portal. The interview times will be available from next Monday 20th June. 

Stay warm and enjoy the week ahead.
