Dear Parents,

Our first school term for 2023, finishes this Thursday afternoon. We have certainly accomplished a lot over the past 10 weeks! This week is a very special week on our Christian calendar as we celebrate Holy Week. This is a special week to reflect on Jesus’ passion and death, culminating in his glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday. Our students are currently involved in special Holy Week activities that help them understand the significance of this very special week.

A very special welcome is extended to Winnie Huang who has joined our Year 4 class. We also extend a special welcome to Winnie’s parents, Emma and John. We are delighted to have another family join our St Patrick’s school community.

This week we sadly farewell the Murphy family as they head off to new adventures. Our very best wishes are extended to Joseph and Anna, as they join new school communities. A special thankyou to Michael and Tracey, who have been very committed to our school and great supporters of fundraising activities. We will miss the Murphy family very much and wish them every happiness for the future.

Please take care over the Easter and holiday break. I trust all families can find some time to recognise the solemnity of Easter and reflect on the meaning of sacrifice and commitment that the Easter story brings us. Also, importantly the joy and celebration of life that the resurrection reminds us of.

Wishing all of our beautiful families a very happy Easter and restful holidays! I look forward to catching up with everyone in Week 5 of Term 2.
