Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
St Patrick’s Day
St Patrick’s day was a sensational celebration of our patron saint with a reverent liturgy, delicious morning tea of green cupcakes and an outstanding display of talent at Green Faces! To see our students’ courage and creativity on display through their performances was a pleasure to watch. Congratulations to everyone who had the bravery to get up, show a vulnerable side and entertain us with their efforts. Thanks to Ms Tegan McDonald for organising and coordinating the sensational St Patrick’s Day program.
Folk Festival BBQ
Last weekend, our school community was part of an amazing event, the St Pat's BBQ, at the Port Fairy Folk Festival. This was an incredibly organised and well-run event that was extremely popular with the patrons, with its reputation preceding itself. The teamwork and atmosphere from the volunteers was energetic and fun for all involved and for a great cause, our school and our students. I would like to thank all volunteers who contributed in any capacity to ensure this fundraising event was continued success in 2023. Well done and thank you to all, much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Nick Murrell
Principal
