Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
Welcome back to the start of Term 3. I hope that you all enjoyed the holidays and were able to spend some quality time together as a family.
Sporting News
Yesterday, Max Bartlett and Charlie McKinley competed in the State Cross Country event. Both Max and Charlie have progressed through our St Patrick’s cross country event, the Heyfield and District, Wellington Division and Gippsland Region cross country events to make it to the State Final. This is a huge achievement and one that we are really proud of the boys for achieving. Yesterday, Max finished 82 in the 11 and Under Boys event, whilst Charlie finished 89th in the 10 and Under Boys event.
Today, our 5/6 footballers competed in the second stage of the Winter Sports competition, after winning their way through the Heyfield and District competition. Results from today will be in our next newsletter.
Parent/Teacher Interviews and PSG Meetings
Next Tuesday and Thursday, we have Parent/Teacher Interviews. These meetings are a great opportunity for students, parents and teachers to discuss what they have achieved throughout Semester One. The parent/teacher interviews are also a great opportunity to discuss some of the areas for improvement and the next steps in your child’s learning. Parents/Teacher interviews can be booked via PAM.
For those students with additional needs, PSG meetings will be held on Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th August. These meetings can also be booked via PAM. Those students that require a PSG, do not require a parent/teacher interview.
Baptism for School Age Children
Next Wednesday 24th July, there is a Parent Information Night for those that are interested in having their child/ren baptised. The information night will be held at the Cathedral in Sale at 6pm.
Crazy Hair Day
On Monday 29th July we will be celebrating Crazy Hair Day. Crazy Hair Day is about raising awareness and money for cystic fibrosis. All students are encouraged to come with crazy hair on this day for a gold coin donation. We look forward to seeing some weird and wonderful hairstyles!
We have many other events happening throughout the term including Hooptime Basketball, our St Patrick’s Athletics Carnival, the Lions Club Public Speaking Competition, the St Patrick’s Olympics, the National Day Against Bullying and a Father’s Day afternoon. Please keep your eye out for more information on these in the coming weeks.
Kind regards,
Joel

Children can be vulnerable road users and all adults are reminded to observe all road rules and take care around the school.
Look - Be vigilant Children are small and can be unpredictable. It is up to us as adults to look out for the children. |
Park in the right place No standing zones and parking zones are there for everyone’s safety. Please park in the correct zones. |
Slow Down The zone around St. Patrick’s (although not signed) is 40 km hour – this is the law. And go easy on the u-turns near the school! |
Stay OFF Mobile Phones It is illegal to drive while using a mobile phone. It also puts the children’s safety at risk if you aren’t paying attention. |
Use the crossing & Give way to pedestrians |
Take Your Time Please don't rush! |
For the safety of all students and pedestrians - Pick up and drop off is Dixon Street and Blackburn Street.
Do not use Merrick St.
Thank-you for your co-operation.
