Winter Sports

I would like to congratulate all students who competed in the Moyne winter sports on Thursday in netball and football. Our students competed in a fair, friendly and active way that represented our school terrifically. Well done to the girls A netball team that won their division and will progress to the next round. 

Parents and Friends

I would like to acknowledge and thank our St Patrick's families for their constant generosity.  There have been a lot of catering, fundraising, casserole bank and other events lately and as principal I am constantly reminded and 'blown away' by the willingness of people to donate their time and resources to support their children's school. We are truly blessed to have such a supportive community, thank you. 

Kind regards,

Nick Murrell
