Project Compassion Thank you for being so generous in supporting our Project Compassion appeal. We have almost raised $1000, which is double our school goal!
Classes will continue collecting in their Project Compassion boxes until the end of Lent. Michaela is a 21-year-old trainee at Purple House, a dialysis center in the Central Desert for people suffering from kidney disease.
The Aboriginal controlled service gives patients the opportunity to stay connected with their culture. They do this through traditional healing practices and income-generating activities, such as making bush balms and soaps. With the support of Caritas partners, Michaela is helping to build a social enterprise, a connection to culture and a new outlook for the chronically ill. Project Compassion 2019 can help provide essential health care, employment, and training for First Australians like Michaela.

💃✨ Memories from the Stage ✨💃 The certificates and ribbons are wonderful, but sometimes the best part is simply the experience! Our Dance Eisteddfod gave our students the chance to perform, laugh, cheer each other on and create memories that will last long after the music stopped. 🎶 For some, it may have been a wonderful day out. For others, it may just have sparked a love of performing that leads to a life on the stage. 🌟 Whatever comes next, we hope they always remember the joy of stepping onto that stage together. 💙💛 #DanceEisteddfod #MakingMemories #LoveOfDance #StPatricksParramatta #LearningIsFunAtStPats09 Sep 2026

💙 Celebrating Our Dads and Father Figures💙 On Friday morning, our school community came together for a wonderful Father’s Day Breakfast to celebrate the dads, grandfathers, and special father figures who mean so much to our children. There was plenty of food, conversation, laughter and, most importantly, time spent together. Thanks to Motiv8sports. These simple moments are what make our St Patrick’s community so special. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, prepared, cooked, served, organised and helped behind the scenes to make the morning possible. It truly takes a community, and we are so grateful for our St Patrick's community members! 💙💚💛 #FathersDay #FathersDayBreakfast #Community #StPatricksParramatta #CatholicSchools #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #learningisfunatStPats #cspd

💚💛 Celebrating Our Wonderful Teacher Assistants 💚💛 This week, we celebrated Teacher Assistant Appreciation Week and the incredible people who support our students and teachers each and every day. A very special shout-out to: Mrs Tleyji, Mrs Baaini, Mrs Scuderi, Mrs Smith, Mrs Cadman and Mrs Evans. Whether offering a helping hand, an encouraging word, a listening ear or that little bit of extra support when it is needed most, the difference you make is felt across our whole school. Quite simply, "we couldn't do what we do without you!" Thank you for the care, patience, dedication and heart you bring to St Patrick's every day. We are so lucky to have you as part of our team. 💚💛 #TeacherAssistantAppreciationWeek #ThankYou #StPatricksParramatta #CatholicSchools #LearningIsFunAtStPats #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #learningisfunatStPats

🐱📚 Book Week 2026 – Let the Symphony Begin! 🎶 What better way to begin our 100 Years of Education - Book Week celebrations than with a little fun from our St Patrick's staff! Paying tribute to the much-loved picture book Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, our teachers transformed into a very cool litter of cats! Led by our musical conductor, they paraded their way through our Symphony of Stories before taking to the floor for a special dance celebrating Pete and his love of white shoes. 🐱🎶📖 Our teachers certainly know how to bring a story to life and show our students that you are never too old to have fun with a good book! What a way to begin our Book Week celebrations! 💚💛 #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #learningisfunatStPats #cspd #BookWeek2026 #SymphonyOfStories #100YearsOfBookWeek #PeteTheCat #LoveOfReading #StPatricksParramatta #LearningIsFunAtStPats

📚✨ Where Do Stories Begin?📚✨ Last Thursday, our Kindergarten to Year 3 students had the wonderful opportunity to meet Australian children's author Ashleigh Barton as part of our Book Week celebrations. Author of much-loved books including What Do You Call Your Grandma?, What Do You Call Your Grandpa?, How Do You Say I Love You? and Dinosaur in My Pocket, Ashleigh shared her love of books, creativity and the wonderful world of storytelling. A huge thank you to Ms Pope and Mrs O'Dwyer for organising our author visits and giving our students the opportunity to learn from two inspiring Australian authors. What a wonderful addition to our Symphony of Stories! 🎶📖 #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #learningisfunatStPats #cspd #BookWeek2026 #SymphonyOfStories #AshleighBarton #AuthorVisit #LoveOfReading #StPatricksParramatta #LearningIsFunAtStPats
