Dear Parents, 

It was so wonderful to return to school last week and catch up again with all the staff and students.  Most exciting was visiting the classrooms and seeing our students happy, healthy and fully engaged in their learning.  While students indicated that they enjoyed their time at home and their parents did a great job with teaching, the overall consensus was that students were excited to be back at school and learning alongside their friends. 

Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes during my absence.  While it has been a lengthy recovery time, due to a number of unexpected complications during a routine operation, I am grateful to be finally on a good recovery path and look forward to returning to full time work in the near future. 

Many grateful thanks to the incredible staff at St Patrick's that continued to provide exceptional education during the remote learning period.  Everyone agrees that school is not school without our beautiful students and the incredible joy they bring to our everyday classrooms.  A special thank you to the Leadership Team of Mrs Wilson and Mrs Howe they continued to provide support and encouragement to staff, parents and students during remote learning and on return to face to face teaching.  It has certainly been a time of extreme changes.  Thank you also to parents for the wonderful job you did teaching your children from home and continuing with their education during difficult times. 

St Patrick's School is now accepting 2021 enrolments.  You may have noticed our Facebook posts and videos to promote our beautiful school.  Please ensure you SHARE these posts as we want to try and reach as many local and surrounding area families as possible.

As restrictions ease, we ask that parents continue to be vigilant with their children's health and keep them at home if they show any signs of illness especially coughs and colds as we enter into the winter season. 

Best wishes for a wonderful week ahead.  So lovely to have some much needed rain. Stay warm and healthy ! 

Kind Regards 

Christine Baron
