Happy New Year
I would like to take this opportunity to extend a Happy New Year to all of you in our St. Patrick’s community. I hope that the Christmas holidays provided you with an opportunity to relax and spend some time with family and friends. All of us at St. Patrick's look forward to working with our stakeholders in 2016.
St. Patrick’s Christmas Hampers
We recognize that our strength as a school community can be seen when we work together with good intentions in mind. This quality was at the forefront of our Christmas Hamper initiative this December. All of our grade 7 and 8 classes, as well as staff and members of our School Council, came together to contribute to Christmas packages for those in our community who might not otherwise have food and gifts during the holidays. The amount of goods contributed was overwhelming. A big thank you to all who participated in any way they could.

St. Patrick’s Career Fair
On December 16th, all of our grade 7 students had the opportunity to visit our Career Fair, organized by our Student Services Department. We had community representation from several vocations and agencies including first responders, colleges, and private sector businesses...to name a few. This initiative gave students an opportunity to ask questions and get additional information on various careers. Thank you so much to those in our community who gave of their time to provide information at the fair.
