Congratulations to Charlie Sammut who recently joined the Catholic Church Community by being Baptised.  The ceremony was held at St Mary's Cathedral Sale.  St Patrick's School wishes Charlie well on your faith journey.  

This week at St Patrick’s we have participated in National Child Protection Week. This year the overarching message is, ‘Every child in every community needs a fair go’. This message captures the essence of National Child Protection Week, which aims to promote a safe and supported life for every child, now and into the future.

Throughout the week, each classroom has completed child safety lessons and participated in Australia’s Biggest Child Safety Lesson. The focus of Australia’s Biggest Child Safety Lesson video was on consent. They covered the concepts of my body, my choice and asking permission, and provided strategies that children can use when they need to seek, give or deny consent. The students were really engaged in the video and I’m sure that they learnt a lot. Your child may have questions about a variety of topics covered, so please take the time to discuss these further with them if they ask. The more that your child knows and understands about child safety, the safer they will be.

School Wide Expectations

At St Patrick’s we have 3 School Wide Expectation. Our School Wide Expectations describe the general ways that all school community members (staff, students and parents) are expected to behave at all times. The table below shows some of the expected behaviours for each of our School Wide Expectations.

Kind regards,

Joel
