Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Semester One reports will be published for parents and carers on Friday 27 June. 

A reminder that last year a new report format was provided. The following will be evident in your child’s Semester 1 report:

• A report format released via Compass reflecting the outcomes of the K-10 English and Mathematics syllabuses providing a descriptor for each of the focus areas found in the respective syllabuses
• There will be no general comment in Semester 1 reports. This was a diocesan decision and is consistent across all CEDoW schools. 
• All Kindergarten students will receive a written report in Semester 1 and Semester 2 with a three-point grade scale used to report student achievement using the following performance descriptors:
• Thorough
• Sound 
• Basic
• Students in Year 1 - Year 6 will continue to receive semester reports twice a year with a five-point grade scale used to report student achievement using the following performance descriptors: 
• Extensive
• Thorough
• Sound
• Basic
• Elementary 

We look forward to sharing your child's learning growth and effort with you and appreciate your continued support in your child's educational journey.

Like last year, there won't be scheduled parent / teacher interviews this term as they occurred in Term One. However, if you have any concerns or questions about your child's report, please contact the school to arrange a meeting with your child's class teacher.

Kindergarten 2026

I am close to officially wrapping up Kindergarten interviews for 2025. Places of offers will go out to families on Monday 23 June. It has been a pleasure to meet so many families who have chosen a Catholic Education for their son or daughter. I look forward to welcoming our newest members of St Patrick's to our school community later this year when the children attend transition to school playgroup.

Something that I hear often from parents is what a good name St Patrick's has in the local community. I feel blessed to lead such a wonderful school community, with dedicated teachers, engaged students who treat each other with kindness and compassion and supportive parents and carers. It is a privilege and responsibility upon us all to keep the culture and spirit of St Patrick's alive and well.
