Catholic Education Week

Thank you to all of our St. Patrick’s Community for supporting our Education Week activities this past week.  I was very proud of our student group as they displayed their talents musically, in dance, in rhythm drumming as well as competing in our board swim meet and showing our board eco-team around the school.  It is encouraging to see our students challenging themselves outside of the regular classroom environment.  

We also celebrated as a staff community at our Ottawa Catholic Education Week Mass this past Tuesday evening.  The celebration was extra special as one of our own - Mr. Patrick McKinnon, received the prestigious Director of Education Commendation (see photo).  Well deserved Mr. McKinnon!

St. Patrick’s Open House

The culmination of our Education week was a fantastic Arts Performance in our newly utilized Theatre.  We had the St. Pat’s band, Stage Band and the Glee Club perform.  Our Dance Team, recently back from the board Dance Showcase, performed a couple of numbers as well as our Boys African Dance group.  It was great to see our students demonstrating their talents in a very warm setting.
