St Patrick's Day Family Fun Afternoon

On Monday, 17th March, the school celebrated the patron saint of our school, St Patrick, with a Family Fun Day. We began the day with Mass in the School Hall, with parishioners and families invited.  After recess, some of our school student leaders shared shamrock cards with prayers with the local community.  Students enjoyed a hot potato lunch prepared by Mrs Adams and parent helpers. After lunch, we invited families to join their children to participate in a range of activities in the school grounds.  Activities included a Shamrock Hunt, Gumboot Throwing, Rid the Snakes from Ireland, Choc o Lob, Quoits, Chalk Drawing, Lucky Pots, Guess the Number of Green Smarties, and a market stall. Thank you to our Captains, SRCs and Minni Vinnies for assisting in running activities.

A great day was had by everyone, and it was fantastic to see so many family members who were able to join us and participate on the day. A big thank you to all those who contributed to the day. Thank you to families who were able to donate items towards our stall and lunch.  Everyone’s contributions made it a great day of community celebration. The funds that were raised will be used towards making donations to our Outreach Organisations.

Winner of the Guess the Number of Green Smarties was: Eliza Raddich - Congratulations, Eliza!
