November

Our school athletics carnival is being held on Thursday 26th October and will be run at  East Devonport Football Ground, Girdlestone Park. Students will be bussed from school to and from the carnival. The carnival will commence at 9.30 am and run through to approx 2.15 pm. A confirmed program of events will be advised to families this week. 

The North West Catholic Primary School Carnival will be held in Penguin on Wednesday 15th November. Students from Years 3 - 6 will be selected from the school carnival to attend this event. 

As we return for term 4 students are now required to be in their full summer uniform. Hats are compulsory in Term 4, No Hat = No Outside Play. 

In the near future, whilst at recess or lunch we will hold an unannounced emergency practice with staff & students, to test our response to a potential scenario in which staff identify a threat warranting the school go into lockdown (opposite to evacuation). As for fire evacuation drills, we recognise the worth of testing this process. We have plans in place to make this practice as least disruptive as possible.

If you have queries you are welcome to call our WHS Officer Katie Ryan on 0497 681 042

A reminder to parents that St Patrick's is a Nut Allergy School and that we ask that parents not pack nuts or nut products in their children's lunchboxes.

Research shows that the first five years of a child’s life are critical for their development. The experiences they have can shape who they become as an adult. We realise the importance of these years and ensure that our SETUP sessions are full of play-based activities that allow children to investigate and learn in their own way.

Lots of time spent playing, talking, listening and interacting with you helps your child learn the skills they need for life. These skills include communicating, thinking, solving problems, moving and being with other people and children. That’s why our SETUP sessions allow children time for provocative play and exploring both on their own and with other children. We do offer arts and crafts, storytime, interactive games and activities as well as outside play.

Our sessions run every Friday from 9:00 - 10:30 a.m during school terms. Please bring a piece of fruit, a hat and drink bottle. Tea and coffee is provided for parents/carers. We hope to see you there!
