Latest News

A REFLECTION
As we sit back and reflect on Term 1, the word positivity springs to mind. From the outset of Week 1, the students and staff have worked together to build strong relationships. This has been evident in focused, small group and collaborative learning opportunities. The adoption of co-teaching strategies and delivery of co-teaching approach to our literacy learning has been extremely positive. Having two teachers working together in the classroom has enabled staff to target smaller groups of students to explicitly teach the concepts and skills they require to become expert readers. St Patrick’s has also began to embed a structured and systematic approach to the teaching of phonological awareness and phonics in the early years, that incorporates the use of decodable texts and explicit word work, to develop a thorough understanding of how the English code works. Even in Week 9, the students and staff are focused and are clearly working together to improve.

Our school attendance rates have remained consistent throughout the term and whilst we currently sit at a 94.9% attendance rate, all students need to be congratulated for their persistence in getting to school. As John Hattie would say…”every minute counts.”

The St Patrick’s Parents and Friends Association together with members of the School Board have been proactive and supportive of the school’s vision. Most executive positions in both groups have been filled and we look forward with much enthusiasm to the remaining terms of 2023.

Without a doubt, and in talking to all members of our staff, it has been a long time since all members of our community have experienced such a positive start to a school year. Students, staff and members of the wider community have been accountable and persistent. Well done!!

HOLY WEEK CELEBRATIONS
As you would be aware, Easter falls in the middle of our school holidays. As a lead up to Holy Week, our final liturgical celebration for the term will take place on Thursday 30 March in the Sports Shed commencing at 9:00am. The focus of this celebration will be the Stations of the Cross. This provides a focal point for our school lenten journey. Students, staff, parents and community members are cordially invited to attend this special liturgical celebration and are encouraged to reflect on the challenges provided to us with the Stations of the Cross.
  • What does the cross mean for us?
  • Why is there a cross in our worship space?
  • Why are there crosses on the walls of our rooms?
Please bring a cushion or seat as you will be invited to sit with our students in the middle of the shed.
