Dear Parents, Carers and Guardians,

It has been another productive week for our students. Our Foundation students have begun full time and yesterday we held two parent information sessions for the newest (and existing) parents of our school, and they were well attended. Thanks to Geraldine Wilmann and Katherine Gronek for the organisation and running of these workshops.

Tomorrow we will celebrate our Beginning of School Year Mass at 9.30 and this will be held in the stadium. All are welcome to attend. Thank you to Tresa Andrews for her efforts in preparing this Mass.

I would like to bring to parents’ attention the concern I have with students bringing to school particular lollies called, LIL NITRO. These lollies contain CHILLI of the hottest kind and teachers have heard students saying that they are saving up to buy these. Whilst I do not control what happens outside of school hours, I do not wish to see these items brought to school under any circumstances please. We had a sick student who was experiencing some unpleasant side effects after consuming this item. If these items are found, they will be confiscated and returned at the end of the day. Please ensure that you do check your child’s lunchbox each morning before they come to school. I encourage you to help them to choose their own snacks, however it is important that a parent takes the time to look over the lunchboxes to ensure the food is healthy and plentiful.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter. See image below.

Take care and God Bless,

Meg

Debbie has been with us for the past seven years and she is now going to be spending some much-needed time with family. I would like to thank Debbie for her wonderful hard work and dedication to the students of St Patrick’s and wish her every happiness.
