International Day of Happiness

Today at school we celebrated 'International Day of Happiness'. Organised by Kim Paku and the children, all of the teachers were presented with flowers and had a wonderful morning tea. Many of the children have also contributed to a 'What makes me happy' display. Look out for this in the corridor outside Room 1.

Year 4's on the beat!

Today at assembly four Year 4 students were recognised for their community spirit. The four boys were involved in helping recover a stolen bike and were presented with the Consideration Cup by Mr Day and Constable Cody.

Great work boys! 

St. Patrick's Day celebrations

St. Patrick's Day is never a normal day at school! There is always lots of colour, noise and laughter and this year was certainly no different!

Hot air balloon visit!

It's not every day you get the chance to watch a hot air balloon inflated right in front of you. The St. Patrick's children today really enjoyed watching 'Sweet Pea' inflate and learning lots about what it is made from and how it flies. 

Variety Bash visit to St. Patrick's

This morning we were lucky to host the annual 'Variety Bash' at school. The children had a great time looking at all the cars and trucks, listening to the horns and enjoying their gift packs.
