Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
I would like to acknowledge and thank the Parents and Friends for their contribution to the Koroit Irish Festival. A special thank you to Kate Dobson for her coordination, and to all the parent volunteers who assisted in the lead up to and on the day. Your support was instrumental in making the event a success. Thank you for your time and effort in supporting our school community.
Mother’s Day/Special Person Breakfast
Our Mother's Day/Special Person Breakfast is coming up this Friday, 9th May, in the hall (please see the flyer for more details).
To help us with planning, please register by 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday) using the following link: https://forms.gle/pcAgiCLq4E6Gn2SX9.

2026 Enrolments
Families who have not yet returned enrolment forms for siblings starting in 2026 are asked to do so as soon as possible.
We have already received a large number of enrolment applications for consideration and want to ensure that places are prioritised for existing families first.
Kind regards,
Tegan McDonald
Principal
This week we are sharing what SWPBS looks like at St Pat's when we are at the Canteen.
Koroit Irish Festival - Thanks!
Thanks so much to all who volunteered their time in the lead up to the festival and over the weekend to make our stall so successful.
Not only have we raised valuable funds to assist in providing new resources and opportunities for our children, we have contributed to a vibrant event in the Koroit community and enriched the connections in our school community by bringing together parents who hadn't previously met.
A special shout out to Simone Johnson & her parents, Sally & Brian Mugavin from Mugavin Produce & Johan & Diane at Flavo Foods - thanks for supplying the potatoes.
Thanks again to all our helpers and also all who purchased from our stall.
Kate
