The 2025 Soccer Season will commence on Saturday, 5th April. As in previous years, there will be two rostered games before the first term break for school holidays, and will then recommence on Saturday, 3rd May.

Students from Kinder to Year 6 can register to play in the 2025 season. Registrations are now open and will close on Thursday 27th March. Please register via https://www.playfootball.com.au/

All teams will require a coach who must be registered on the Football Australia website and must complete the school-issued safeguard briefing and hold a current WWVP card. Any teams who do not have a registered coach will be unable to compete in the 2025 season. 

I have been assured that the registration website will be much easier to navigate this year! Further information will be forwarded to families as we receive it. 

The second installment for 2025 fees is due to be deducted on the 28th March. Thank you to families who have returned their Payment Arrangement form indicating their payment plan and payment method. To families who have not returned their Payment Arrangement form, please complete this as soon as convenient. This form needs to be completed and signed by both parents/guardians (as per your child’s enrolment form). The form will then be in place for the duration of your child/s enrolment.

A 3% early payment discount will be offered on Fees (tuition fees only) if paid in full before the 31st March 2025.  Please reduce your full fees by the listed discount below if paying in full by the 31st March 2025.

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 on Monday 24th March. 

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.

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!
