School Performance
Everyone is getting very excited about our performance tonight.
The performance starts at 7pm and goes for approximately 2 hours. Please ensure all children are present by 6.50pm. Doors will open at 6.30pm.
While parents are free to take photos/video of their own children at the performance, please be aware that as per our Digital Media Policy and Child Safe Policy, uploading any photos or video to social media that has children other than your own in it, without their permission, is not allowed. It is important to remember that not everyone is happy for their child’s image to be made public.
Transition Day
Our whole school transition day will be held on Tuesday, December 10th. Our students will spend the day in their 2020 classes with their new teachers and we wish our Year 6 students all the best as they head to their secondary schools for the day.
Carols, Awards and Graduation Night
Our annual Carols, Awards and Graduation night will be held on Thursday, December 12th, beginning at 7.00pm. This night is for all school families, not just our Year 6 families. All classes will be involved in singing a carol and it gives us the opportunity, as a school community, to farewell our Year 6 students and families, as well as other staff, students and families who may be leaving the school. Students need to wear their summer uniform.

We congratulate Rebecca Greene and Andrew Prosser on their appointments to the School Advisory Council for 2020/21. We thank them both for their willingness to accept these roles and we look forward to the knowledge and wisdom they will bring to our team.

Emmanuel College School Leaders 2020
It was very exciting to see that former St Patrick’s students were represented in the leadership teams for every year level at Emmanuel college in 2020. I believe it’s a good reflection on our school values and expectations that we are so well represented. Congratulations to Frankie Bant and Oliver Myers (Yr 8), Ted Kelly and Milly Graham (Yr 9), Isabelle Dix and Bree Fox (Yr 10), Nicola Giblin and Ava Pierce (Yr 11) and Saul Giblin (Yr 12). We also congratulate Louise Tamer (Yr 10) and Tess Dempsey (Yr 12), who although they didn’t attend St Patrick’s as they didn’t live in Port Fairy at the time, are sisters of current students.
Kind regards,
Sue Paulka
Principal
