Principal's Report
Dear St Patrick’s families,
I hope families had time to enjoy the beautiful weather over the long weekend and enjoy time outdoors or relaxing in some way. We are moving quickly into the last few weeks of Term 2 with Semester One reports and parent/teacher meetings now becoming the central focus.
Semester One Reports: Thank you to teachers who are working hard to prepare Semester One reports in readiness to go home next Friday. Assessment data that has been collected over the past two terms is being collated to prepare for report gradings. As previously mentioned, there will be NO comments on Semester One reports with Parent/Teacher meetings highlighted as the essential communication pathway for these reports. Teachers will be setting up interview timeslots in COMPASS over soon and parents are asked to choose a selected timeslot. 15 minute timeslots will be allocated per student.
2024 Open Day: Please encourage anyone who has a child ready for Kindergarten in 2024 (or any year level), to come along to our 2024 Information session next Thursday 22nd June at 5:00pm. We can’t wait to tell the community about our fabulous little school!
TTFM Surveys: Parents are asked to please fill in the Tell Them From Me surveys that have been provided for feedback. The feedback is greatly appreciated as it enables us to plan forward for the 2024 school year. The survey has been extended until this Friday 16th June.
WR Athletics Carnival: Best wishes are extended to our students that will be attending the WR Athletics Carnival in Tumut this Friday. We hope they enjoy the opportunity to participate in their selected sporting fields with other students from Catholic schools across the Western Region.
Stain-Glass Window: A new stain glassed window is going to be installed in the front entrance of our school administration area, this coming Thursday. The stain-glass window, has been beautifully designed by Deb from Elegance Stained Glass, and reflects our Catholic culture together with symbols of the Gundagai area, including the beautiful Murrumbidgee River. The window was made possible by a very generous donation from ex-St Stanislaus families, Bernie Harrington and Raymond Young. This has been a long work in progress, but we cannot wait to see the finished result.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who suffered the tragic loss of loved ones over the weekend and all families in our local community who need our support and prayers.
