School Photo Day
Our school photo day will be held on Wednesday the 1st of May.
A MSP Photography envelope has been sent home with your child. If you order your photos online the envelope does not need to be returned to school.
Maintenance Officer Position
We are inviting expressions of interest for a person to work at St Patrick's for one day a week as a maintenance and grounds keeping officer. The role requires some maintenance skills and a bus licence would be an advantage. Enquiries can be sent to principal@spcamperdown.catholic.edu.au and the application period closes on Tuesday 30th of April.
Mother's Day
Mother's Day this year is on Sunday 12th of May. We would like to wish all of our St Patrick's mothers every happiness on this special occasion. We will celebrate the day on Friday 10th of May with a mothers day stall orgnised by the P&F where simple gifts have been purchased for sale on the day. Parents do not need to donate a gift to the stall this year.
We will not be having a "Mother's Day Breakfast" this year for the following reasons:
- Not all parents are able to make the breakfast
- Some families do not have a mother as a primary carer
- The costs for the event are now significant
We are hoping to hold an alternative opportunity during the school day to incorperate this into the children's learning.
