Latest from St Patrick’s

Concern Newsletter – Issue 15

In the latest Concern Newsletter, our Make Jesus Real focus is gratitude. As Father’s Day approaches, families are encouraged to help children recognise and thank the fathers, grandfathers and father figures who care for and support them.

We reflect on a wonderful Book Week at St Patrick’s, including the Dress-Up Parade, Book Fair, library display and Open Night. We extend a special thank you to Mrs Tenelle Quartermaine for her creativity, enthusiasm and commitment to fostering a love of reading throughout the school.

Our Year 6 students recently visited Parliament House, where they viewed Parliament in session and met Member for Roe, Mr Peter Rundle. The school also celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation with Meg, Maliyah, Matthew James and Liam, joined by Bishop George and supported by their families, staff and parish community.

Upcoming events include our Father’s Day Breakfast and Pre-Primary Assembly, Wellbeing Week, the Year 3/4 STEM Showcase and the Jumps and Throws and Faction Athletics carnivals.

Kindy enrolments for 2027 are now open. Families are also invited to experience MiniStars, held every Wednesday from 9.00am to 10.30am, which provides children with a welcoming introduction to the classrooms, teachers and routines at St Patrick’s.

Congratulations to Tommy on running 60 kilometres and raising an impressive $2,558 for the Children’s Medical Research Institute. His dedication and commitment to helping others are an inspiration to our school community.
