A Message from Mrs Escalante
Dear Parents, Carers and Guardians,
Yesterday afternoon I attended the Athletics carnival for our year 3-6s at Toomuc Reserve. It was a hot day but the students were amazing. It was incredible to watch how well they encouraged one another and got in to lend a hand. All students participated, even students not actually in events, but running the marshalling of events and helping with other bits and pieces. Thanks to all the grade 3-6 staff and our ESOs for their wonderful work yesterday. And to Louise Breeden, our superstar Phys Ed teacher, who as always, prepares the most organised events and ensures that everything runs smoothly! A great day.
God Bless,
Meg

Paddy’s Kitchen-Food Drive
Paddy’s Kitchen is an outreach program initiated by the parishioners of St. Patrick’s Church, Pakenham, to serve our community.
Students, staff and parents of St Patrick’s school have been playing an important role to reach out to the community by volunteering to help with cooking, serving and cleaning. This year our school as a part of the Advent giving program, will be doing a Paddy’s Food Drive to reach out to our beautiful Pakenham community.
Through this program, our school community makes it evident that, ‘The person is not only sacred but also social. Moreover, we believe we have a right and a duty to participate in society, seeking together the common good and well-being of all, especially the poor and vulnerable people.’
One family - one item and we together can make a difference. Thank you.
