First Communion and Youth Mass

This Saturday evening at 5:30pm at the Cathedral in Sale, Catholic students from our local schools will be celebrating the Sacrament of First Communion. Lexie Fischer will be a part of this celebration. This Saturday evening mass is also a Youth Mass. All families are invited to come along and join in the combined celebration of First Communion and the Youth Mass.

Lawn Bowls

On Monday, St Patrick’s has a team of Year 5 students competing in the East Gippsland Division Lawn Bowls Final in Bairnsdale. Our Year 5 students have had several practice sessions throughout Term 1 and the start of this term and are excited and ready to take on this challenge. St Patrick’s has never had a team enter the lawn bowls competition, so this is an exciting new adventure. We wish Charlie Gartung, Charlie McKinley, Max Bartlett, Riley Bartlett, Will Longmuir and Koby Dorning all the best and look forward to hearing how they go.

ANZAC Day

Next Thursday 25^th April, we commemorate ANZAC Day. ANZAC Day is the anniversary of the day when Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed at Gallipoli in 1915. Like in previous years, St Patrick’s will once be involved in the Stratford ANZAC Day March and Ceremony. All students are invited to attend the event. Students who are able to attend must assemble at the corner of Tyers and Blackburn Streets (Endeavour Service Station) at 8:20am. Students attending are asked to wear their full winter school uniform. Following the ANZAC Day March and Ceremony, families are invited to attend morning tea in the hall afterwards.
We have had a positive response from students and families in the past and hope lots of students participate again this year.

School Closure Day

Next Friday 26^th April is a school closure day for all students. This is a Time in Lieu (TIL) day for all staff so there won’t be anyone onsite on this day.

Uniform

Throughout Term 2 and Term 3, all students are to wear winter uniform. As in previous years, we will allow a two-week transition period. During this time, students can wear their summer or winter uniform, depending on the weather. From the start of Week 3, Monday 29th April, all students are expected to wear their full winter uniform.

Please find below a list of winter uniform clothing items.

Huge big thank you to the wonderful parent helpers who we would not have been able to run the day without.  Really appreciate them giving up their time to volunteer.
