14th March 2018 Issue 7 St Patrick’s School Vision Statement
St Patrick’s Catholic School in Katanning aims to emulate Jesus through its motto of Concern by engaging children, teachers, parents, community and the parish to work together in a supportive and happy environment. Our school acknowledges parents as the primary
educators of their children, and aims to further develop each child intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially and spiritually, creating lifelong learners who have the ability to draw upon processes and skills, to cope with future technologies in a changing society. Our school
strives to be accepting of multicultural and individual differences. It acknowledges the rights of children to be safe and values them through pastoral care.
Attendance Matters: Food for thought? I was both surprised and concerned at the long term implications for lack of attendance. If a child is to be successful at school then YES, attendance does matter. Swimming Carnival: A BIG thanks to Mrs. Punch and the whole St Pat’s community; students, parents and teachers/EA’s for their contribution to a wonderful day. The weather was perfect for swimming and by all accounts the day was a huge success. Congratulations to all of the students who participated and extra special congratulations to Prendiville, winners on the day! Their win breaks a 7 year drought for Prendiville as the last time they won the faction swimming carnival was 2011. Year 6 Camp: This week our Year 6 students are at camp at Fairbridge Farm. They are having a ball!! They are bonding and developing leadership skills while challenging themselves physically and mentally. The school is very quiet without them. Thank you to our Year 5 students who have stepped up this week to be school leaders. St Patrick’s Day: 9:00am – 10:00am – Whole School Mass

volunteers to cover books at various times throughout the year at home. The books and the covering will be sent
to you. If you are available to do so, please return your slip to the school office.
Many thanks for your continued support.

From Death comes Life
THE WORD Jesus said, “I tell you truly, a grain of wheat remains no more than one grain unless it is dropped into the ground and dies. Then it produces many grains. Those who love their own life will lose it; those who hate their own life in this world will keep it for life eternal.”
LOOK CLOSER Life from Death. When we selfishly seek our own happiness, we risk losing our eternal life. But if we ‘die to ourselves’ by giving to others, we will have eternal life. Many of the saints gave everything, including their lives. Like a single grain of wheat that dies and so produces a great harvest, the example of the martyrs has also produced many more believers.
Father, Help us to be like Jesus.
Change our selfishness into self-giving and bring us to
eternal life. Amen.
