Happy Easter
By Mrs Liz Illingworth, Principal
HOLY WEEK AND EASTER SUNDAY
Last Sunday, we celebrated Palm Sunday and entered into Holy Week, spanning from Palm Sunday to Holy Saturday. Holy Week is the final stretch before Easter Sunday, the celebration of Jesus' Resurrection. During this sacred week, Catholics pray and reflect on the profound journey of Jesus’ suffering, sacrifice, and victory over death.
Yesterday we gathered as a College Community to pray and reflect together in preparation for Easter.
I wish you all a Happy Easter and hope that each of you are able to find some time with family and friends over this period to renew, refresh and reflect on what Easter means.
COLLEGE CAMPS AND RETREATS
Thanks to the commitment and care of our staff at St Patrick’s College we continue to be able to offer an excellent Education Outdoors Program and fantastic Retreat and Reflection Day Program.
After the Easter Break, our Year 8 students will attend Camp in their House groups and our Year 12 students will attend their Retreat. This will be followed by our Year 11s as they attend Retreat early in Term 2. We thank you in advance for supporting these excellent programs, which add value to all we do at St Patrick’s College in preparing our students to be the best versions of themselves.
HEAD OF SCHOOL - MIDDLE SCHOOL
We are excited to let you all know that Mr Cameron Ivory will commence in the role of Head of School - Middle School at the beginning of Term 2.

We look forward to welcoming Mr Ivory to this position and to the College Leadership Team.
