Prayer to St Patrick

May the shield of God defend us.
May the host of God guard us against the snares of evil

and the temptations of the world.
May Christ be with us, Christ before us, Christ in us, Christ over us.
May your salvation, O Lord, be always ours this day and forevermore.

Amen

HARMONY WEEK - In 2023, Harmony Week is celebrated from 20-26 March. Harmony Week is thecelebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds. It is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values. Our school will celebrate Harmony Week with a variety of activities on Tuesday 21 March. Students are also encouraged to dress in their school uniform with orange accessories on the day. As a multicultural school, it is important to celebrate our diversity.

STAFFING - Mr Paul Brennan has decided to extend his leave for the remainder of Term One. Paul is enjoying spending time with his elderly Mother as well as with the rest of his extended family. I would like to thank all the staff that have taken on additional duties in Paul’s absence.

DAD'S HAIR CARE NIGHT - Last Friday saw our dads learn a few new skills in the hair department. 60 dads learnt how to braid, fish plait and all other tricks with the help of some trusty and knowledgeable ladies! A huge thank you to Matt Nettleton and Dave Dawes for organising the evening and to Hannah Beacon, Fiona Colli, Tanya Dawes, Grace Davis,
Abigail Properjohn and Sienna Colli for teaching all the dads their new skills! Please see the gallery for photos!

NAPLAN - We are currently in the middle of NAPLAN testing for our Years 3 and 5 students. These assessments are a snapshot of how your child has performed on a particular day and should not cause any added stress for your child or family. Please keep these students in your prayers during this time. If students are away on their scheduled test day, catch-up sessions will be held.

KINDY ENROLMENTS 2024 - I have begun the Kindy interviews for 2024. If you have a child born between 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, please ensure your application has been received by the school office.

PARENT - TEACHER INTERVIEWS - Parent Teacher Interviews will be held during Week Nine, commencing on Monday 27 March 2023. On Monday 27 March, school will finish early to allow for Parent Teacher interviews to begin. Kindy students conclude at 12pm, Pre Primary students at 12:15pm and Years 1-6 students at 12:25pm. Parents book online to secure a specific time and are allocated a 15 minute timeslot to speak with their child’s teacher and find out how their child has settled into the 2023 school year and how he/she is progressing in his/her learning. If parents require a longer meeting, then they will need to contact the classroom teacher to arrange a separate time. Bookings will open next week.

COMMITMENT MASSES - Just a reminder to the families in Years 3, 5 and 6 that we have the Commitment Masses next Sunday, 26 March for those students who are participating in the Sacraments this year. Families can attend any of the 3 Masses held on the Sunday. The times are 8:30am, 10am and 5pm. Please ensure you pick up your Information Booklet and Enrolment Form before Mass. These can be collected outside the Church on the Wood St entrance.

If you are unable to make one of the Commitment Masses next Sunday, there is a catch-up Mass the following week on Sunday 2 April at 5pm.

SUNDAY MASS - The Parish is trialling an initiative to make all 5pm Sunday Masses shorter and more child-friendly, with the anticipation that this will entice more families to attend Mass from the school community. If any parents and their child/children would like to be on the roster to read at the 5pm Sunday Mass, you can contact Paula Bonetti via email at bonettipaula@gmail.com

Please let Paula know that you are a family from St Peter’s Primary School.

This is a wonderful initiative from the Parish, and we hope to see many families from the school community in attendance.
