St Patrick's Day Celebrations
“This has been the best day of school!” This quote by a student last Thursday epitomised the widespread sentiment of our school community celebration of St Patrick’s day, which was further enhanced by an adult who stared, ‘St Patrick’s School celebrated its founding saint like no other school!’ At St Patrick’s School no decision and no event is the responsibility of one person – it is an expectation at St Patrick’s that we all contribute according to our time, talents and availability. We certainly acknowledge and appreciate the leadership of Mr Atkins and the students of the Student Representative Council for their organisation of the afternoon events, Tameika Anthony and the many family members for their leadership of the ‘loaves and fishes’ event that was the morning tea and Mrs Dunn for her leadership and organisation of the morning St Patrick’s liturgy and for helping with the sausages. We would also like to acknowledge and greatly appreciate the efforts of the following people:
- Our Year 6 readers for the morning liturgy.
- Mrs O‘Brien and Mrs Kingshott for helping to organise the Year 6 Readers.
- Miss Moore for volunteering to cook the sausages and for staying behind to clean the BBQs and generally clean up.
- Miss Bailey and Mrs Dunn for helping with the cooking.
- Mr Broos for getting the BBQs organised.
- Mrs Adams, Mrs Tueon, Miss Moore, Mrs Dunn, Mrs Anthony and Mrs Marshall for helping with the serving.
- Mrs Harris for organising morning tea and doing other ordering.
…for everyone else who contributed and helped on the day.
