Your child’s report is a written record of their demonstrations of learning. It represents a summary of progress based on judgements made by the class teacher from formal testing, work samples and regular consultation and classroom observations.

KINDNESS PROJECT
This term at St Patrick’s School, we are focussing on Kindness. Last week I began my discussions by attempting to define Kindness. This week I would like to discuss Kindness as a personal choice. In my research, I came aross a beautiful quote: “Kindness is the sincere and voluntary use of one’s time, talent, and resources to better the lives of others, one’s own life, and the world through genuine acts of love, compassion, generosity, and service.” Moreover, kindness involves choice. Kindness involves choice because there are many alternatives to kindness that will tempt us through life — including, of course, apathy and anger. Circumstances may test us. People may try us. News may trouble us. Yet, despite these obstacles, we each have the beautiful ability to actively choose to be kind.
When we actively choose to be kind, we can begin to see kindness as so incredibly meaningful, magnetic, and memorable, in part, because kindness can make us and those around us feel utterly incredible — incredibly useful, incredibly optimistic, and incredibly honoured to be of genuine service to others. When we choose kindness, we can begin to truly accept that we’re all worth the effort and all our efforts have worth. Through choosing kindness, we can do something important every single day and not only end up changing the world for the better, but also ourselves as well: when we’re kind to others, we make people feel valued and when we’re kind to ourselves, we refuse to let ourselves be devalued. Kindness is our ally – our friend.

A TOUR OF OUR SCHOOL
|
Our school was originally established by the Presentation Sisters in 1902 to serve the catholic families of the Central Highlands area of which Emerald is the geographical hub. The Sisters ended their ties with the school in 1992 due to the decline in their numbers and a shift in their mode of service to people and especially children.
St Patrick’s School exists for the education of children from Prep age (Five) to Year Six and is a co-educational facility serving the township and surrounding districts of Emerald. At our school, we aim to develop within our students the ideals of academic excellence and personal growth which are centered around the deepening of our Christian faith. We strive to have these aims as the centre point of any relationships and curriculum which occur within our community. |
