Insight SRC is conducting this survey on behalf of St Patrick's Catholic School and Catholic Education Tasmania. It is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of parents' perceptions of their children’s experience of school.
The results will benefit everyone within the school by providing valuable information about how the school can use staff, student and parent input to plan programs and activities to improve your child's experience at school.
While your participation is voluntary, it is important to remember that the success of this important project is dependent on the involvement of all parents. Surveys will be emailed to families the week beginning Monday 24th March.

We are fortunate to have Catholic Care Counsellor Jasmine Bier working at St Patrick’s on Mondays and Tuesdays each week. Jasmine can work with students in a variety of ways. Her work includes:
- Protective behaviours
- Grief and loss
- Conflict resolution
- Social skills
- Personal Development
- Family relationships
Parents and carers can request a referral for a consultation. Before consultation begins, necessary forms are filled out and returned to Jasmine. The parent / carer forms allow Jasmine to obtain necessary information about presenting issues. The forms can be returned to the school office. All information is treated confidentially. If you feel your child would benefit from counselling please contact the school office, or myself Mrs Carmen Aylott on 6426 1626.

- The weekend of 5/6th April is the first round of the local junior football roster, this could impact player availability on the Sunday morning.
- If we happen to get a lot of interest, we may have to have a selection process in the form of a 'try out'. More information will be communicated to interested families once numbers are confirmed.

Research shows that the first five years of a child’s life are critical for their development. The experiences they have can shape who they become as an adult. We realise the importance of these years, and ensure that our SETUP sessions are full of play-based activities that allow children to investigate and learn in their own way.
Lots of time spent playing, talking, listening and interacting with you helps your child learn the skills they need for life. These skills include communicating, thinking, solving problems, moving and being with other people and children. That’s why our SETUP sessions allow children time for provocative play and exploring both on their own and with other children. We offer arts and crafts, story time, interactive games and activities as well as outside play.
Our first session begins on Wednesday 26th February. The sessions will run on Wednesdays from 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. in the school hall. Please bring a piece of fruit to share, a hat and drink bottle. Tea and coffee is provided for parents/carers. We hope to see you there!
