Learning Walk Tuesday March 28th 9am.
You are invited to join myself and Mr. Tony Dalton on a Learning Walk through our school. Tuesday March 28th 9am.

We would love to see as many interested families as possible come along, especially new families to our school. It is a great opportunity to see learning in action at St Pat's. All parents who have participated in the past have found it a worthwhile experience.

School Finance Audit
Last week was our annual audit. This audit goes over 12 months of our school finance. The audit conducted was fully compliant. This can only be attributed to the accurate and organized manner in which Bronie conducts our school finances every day. Bronie manages to keep the whole school’s ‘books’ in order, while tending to sick bay, answering calls, being front of house, answering everyone's questions, school uniform and more and more and more AND ALL of this with a smile and positive attitude every day!! Congratulations Bronie, our school is truly blessed to have you in this role. Thank you and well done.
Irish Festival
Fundraiser
The Koroit Irish Festival will be upon us before we know it. Thank you to those who have completed the "We need your support" form that was sent home recently. Please see below in this newsletter for a digital copy. It would be great if those who are able, could contribute to this important fundraising and community event for our school.
Street Parade
This year the Festival is bringing back the parade as it was pre COVID. Our school is hoping to enter a float in the parade. Early thoughts are that we will have a trailer with a theme and also some students walking along side our float. Stay tuned for more information.
Kind regards,
Nick Murrell
Principal
