2025 Term 2 Week 6
Vision & Mission Statement
Principal's Reflection
Our Diocesan theme for this Catholic Schools Week is One Call One Mission Pilgrims of Hope. There is a lot of meaning to these 7 words. One Call. One Mission. Each of us here are together we are one - one with ourselves, one with our community and one with our Diocese we are all answering the same innate call. A call to be Christians, Disciples of God. We have one shared Mission – this is evangelisation – to spread the Good News of Christ. These ideas are not new, certainly not new to any of us who are a part of Catholic Schools, and you would, I hope, have heard these words and ideas many times. What is new this year is the concept of Pilgrims of Hope.
Hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one's own life, or the world at large. As a verb, Merriam-Webster defines hope as "to expect with confidence" or "to cherish a desire with anticipation".
Additionally, Hope is an act of binding.
To hope in God means to bind God’s promises to yourself. Hope intentionally wraps His words and truth around your heart, mind, and life.
On announcing the Jubilee for 2025 – Pilgrims of Hope Pope Francis said:
“We must fan the flame of hope that has been given to us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and farsighted vision.”
Putting these three ideas together – What hope can we offer the world, and what impact can we make? Fr Timothy Radcliffe in his book What is the Point of Being Christian? suggests that it begins with each of us and how we live our lives as Christians. He writes:
“If we are pointed to God, then this should make a difference to how we live. This is not a moral superiority. Christians are usually no better than anyone else. But the lives of Christians should be marked by some form of Hope, freedom, happiness and courage. If they are not, then why should anyone believe a word they say?”
Radcliffe’s insight challenges us to embody the love, compassion, and justice that our faith promises, making our lives testament to the transformative power of living in alignment with God’s will.
In responding to Jesus, we are called to be active participants in His mission, striving to build the Kingdom of God through our actions and relationships. By living this mission, we can not only transform our own lives, but we can also inspire and lift those around us. Here at St Patrick’s our students can articulate the values of our own Mission which they live each day to make a difference to themselves and others. Our children follow the Josephite values of kindness, compassion, forgiveness, justice and respect to live out their call and mission.
As we celebrate this Jubilee year, I encourage you to lean into hope. Hope for yourselves, your family and our community. Fan the flame of hope – the greatest journeys are those we undertake together.
Christian hope does not deceive or disappoint because it is grounded in the certainty that nothing and no one may ever separate us from God’s love.
– Pope Francis
Spes non confundit: Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee 2025
As we continue to teach and learn and gather information on each child, teachers are already collaborating on report grades and comments. The reports will be released on Compass in Week 9 this term. There are some really important points to consider before reading your child's report.
- For Years 1-6 the grade reported reflects student achievement using the five point common grade scale in relation to the NSW syllabus outcomes for your child’s relevant stage of learning. Your child's performance is compared to a set of outcomes, not to other students.
- Teachers have used a variety of assessment strategies and considered what has been taught to this point in time to determine the grade that best matches the outcomes demonstrated so far by the student.
- The scale below describes the knowledge, understanding and skills that students working at each grade typically demonstrate and are outlined as follows:
- The inclusion of social skills in semester reports reflect how a student navigates interactions in a way that fosters an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, respected, and cared for. Developing strong social skills, such as collaboration, communication and respect, demonstrates students’ ability to contribute positively.
- The grade a student receives is based on the current body of work being assessed. The grade they received last semester for the same subject area has no relevance to the grade they might receive this time around. The concepts are different.
- For Kindergarten students the overall achievement is recorded using three levels rather than the five point scale.
All parents and carers will be given the opportunity to meet with classroom teachers to discuss your child’s progress in short, sharp Parent Teacher Interviews which will be offered in Week 10 this term. More information to come via COMPASS in coming weeks.
Bishop Michael Kennedy has launched the Bishop’s Flood Appeal to assist those specifically in the Manning region following the recent natural disaster and flooding events. Whilst the immediate danger has passed, the impact is ongoing and the road to recovery will be long for many.
Three of our Diocesan schools which are in this region have also been significantly impacted – St Claire’s High School, Taree, St Joseph’s Primary School, Taree and St Joseph’s Primary School Merriwa. The impact on these schools and communities is extensive and the stories of the outpouring of love to assist in cleaning up the schools from their communities is heart-warming.
The Bishop’s Appeal will provide direct assistance to those most affected across our Diocese, with funds directed to the local parish to provide on the ground support as people rebuild their lives. Every donation—no matter the size—will offer real hope to those in need. The Catholic Development Fund has also pledged to match all donations received, doubling the impact of this initiative.
If you can at all offer your support to the communities of the Manning please use the QR code on the flyer to donate or donations can be made directly through the Diocesan Website: https://mn.catholic.org.au/bishopsappeal/
Please be cautious as you come down Miller’s Lane. Following the recent heavy rains there are many large potholes and more are developing. We have contacted the council to assist, however, for the moment it is a bumpy ride.
Additionally, please be mindful of local businesses and homes at drop off and pick up times. I understand carline drop off and pick up is of great assistance to many families however we cannot block the driveways to businesses and homes. Watch where you are and if need be, please park and walk your child into school or pull over as not to block roads and driveways. Please also keep left as you wait in Miller’s Lane. We need to be courteous in these shared spaces. Many thanks for your support.
Please be aware the staff car park is for STAFF ONLY. Please do not park here to drop children off at school. When all staff arrive, there are actually not enough parking spaces. We have been known to double park and park each other in – You don’t want to be parked in – we might put you to work for the day!
In sincerity, though, especially at this time of year, it is important that teachers can park in the staff car park. The sun is setting earlier, and many teachers are leaving school in the dark. It is much safer to walk to the staff car park in the dark than out on the streets. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in keeping our staff safe at night. Many thanks!
Just a friendly reminder that Monday is a public holiday, so there will be no school. I hope you all enjoy a well-deserved break and make the most of the long June weekend.
To those who are traveling, please take care and have a safe journey. Whether you're heading away or staying local, I hope your weekend is filled with relaxation, fun, and quality time with loved ones.
Warm regards,
Petrina Massey

Catholic Schools Week Liturgy and Celebrations
This week as part of our Catholic Schools Week liturgy, we were invited to pause and reflect on our school values of respect, kindness, compassion, justice and forgiveness which make our Catholic school such a treasure.
We are a family of faith, hope and love for our God and for each other. This week is a time to celebrate the success and joy that makes our school such a wonderful place where we walk side by side, supporting one another, growing in faith and inspiring the next generation to shine His light in our world.
This Jubilee Year brings an extra special reason to celebrate as a Catholic School community as we are inspired to carry forward this Sacred mission with hearts full of hope and trust in God our Father.
This is a week to rejoice in our students, and staff and all that we achieve every day.
The Jubilee Logo
The logo shows four stylized figures, representing all of humanity, coming from the four corners of the earth. They embrace each other to indicate the solidarity and fraternity which should unite all peoples. The figure at the front is holding onto the cross. It is not only the sign of the faith which this lead figure embraces, but also of hope, which can never be abandoned, because we are always in need of hope, especially in our moments of greatest need. There are the rough waves under the figures, symbolising the fact that life’s pilgrimage does not always go smoothly in calm waters.
Often the circumstances of daily life and events in the wider world require a greater call to hope. That’s why we should pay special attention to the lower part of the cross which has been elongated and turned into the shape of an anchor which is let down into the waves. The anchor is well known as a symbol of hope. In maritime jargon the ‘anchor of hope’ refers to the reserve anchor used by vessels involved in emergency manoeuvres to stabilise the ship during storms. It is worth noting that the image illustrates the pilgrim’s journey not as an individual undertaking, but rather as something communal, marked by an increasing dynamism leading one ever closer to the cross. The cross in the logo is by no means static, but it is also dynamic. It bends down towards humanity, not leaving human beings alone, but stretching out to them to offer the certainty of its presence and the security of hope. At the bottom of the logo is the motto of the 2025 Jubilee Year: Pilgrims of Hope.
Sacraments
Please see Compass for details relating to upcoming Sacraments of Initiation offerings at our Vineyard Parish. These have also been sent home as a hard copy this week to Catholic students. Please contact the Cessnock Presbytery to enrol your child/ren for one or more of the Sacraments. Monique: Ph. 49901551
Parish Mass
To continue to support our Parish and School partnership, and for students to experience Mass at the Church, Primary teachers and students will be attending the Wednesday morning Parish Mass at St Joseph's Catholic Church, Cumberland St, Cessnock over the next few weeks.
The Mass will begin at 9am, and parents/carers are asked if possible, to drop off their child at the Church from 8.25am. Teachers will be there to supervise at this time. Parents/family members are most welcome and encouraged to attend the Mass as well. If this arrangement is unattainable for your family, please email your child's classroom teacher.
Following fruit break in Bridge's Hill Park, students will walk back to school with their teachers and continue a normal day of learning. Student's will take their school bag with them to the Church, and these will be kept secure during the Mass.
Confirmed Parish Mass Attendance
TERM 2 | GRADE | Father James/Father Solomon |

CSW Cathedral
Last Friday 3 of our student leaders represented the school at our annual Catholic Schools Week Liturgy at the Sacred Heart Cathedral at Hamilton. Mrs Ryman accompanied by Amity, Ella and Sophia celebrated this Mass with other representatives from schools throughout the Diocese as well as Bishop Michael who presided the Liturgy.
NAIDOC Celebration
On the Tuesday 1st July, 2025 our school will be holding our annual NAIDOC celebration.
NAIDOC is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their histories, cultures, achievements and continuing contributions to our country.
Our school celebration will begin with a smoking ceremony (Uncle Warren), followed by a liturgy and some engaging rotational cultural activities including dance (Mount View High Students), Aboriginal art, games and storytelling.
We are reaching out to our school and parish community to assist in facilitating some of these proposed activities. If you or someone you know within the community has cultural skills in these areas and would like to facilitate a group on this day, please contact Mrs Kennedy.
We are warmly inviting families to engage and support students in the activities on the day.

Religion in the Classroom
Year 6 Emerald
Year 6 Emerald are enjoying exploring the Christian Scriptures and learning about the messages and themes found within them. The students are doing very well at relating these themes to their daily lives and interactions with others.
In this activity students learnt how The Scriptures are the inspired word of God, presenting God's word in human words. They unpacked the passage and created an artwork of pictures, symbols and words to explain the meaning.
Students chose from John 15:1- 17 Jesus sends the holy spirit, Luke 2 :41-52 Jesus Obeys his parents, Matthew 16:13-20 The first Pope , Mark 14:12 –26 The Last Supper.
Some very valuable conversations came from this activity as to how we can live a fruitful life in relationship with the Holy Trinity: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We have also been following the Conclave to elect our new Pope, Pope Leo XIV and the Papal Inauguration that followed. Year 6 are very much looking forward to catching up with Fr James who was fortunate enough to be in Rome during this time. They will have many questions for him.
PB4L
At St. Patrick’s our PB4L is based around our five Catholic Values that underpin everything we do at our school – Respect, Kindness, Compassion, Forgiveness and Justice.
Our PB4L focus is highlighted each fortnight. Children work hard to display our focus positive behaviours both inside the classroom and on the playground.
Our PB4L focus for Weeks 5 and 6 was: Respect
- Use kind words
- Use appropriate language and gestures
- Greet teachers and visitors appropriately
Our PB4L focus for Weeks 7 and 8 is: COMPASSION
- Help others
- Take turns
- Include others in your games
- Be aware of students who are by themselves

Reconciliation Week hands with Kindergarten
Kindergarten
In Religion this term, our students have been on a meaningful journey of discovery, deepening their understanding of God through the person of Jesus Christ. This module invites students to encounter Jesus as the Son of God who lovingly leads us to the Father. A highlight of our learning has been the way students have responded creatively to Bible stories. Using loose parts—such as natural materials, craft items, and symbolic objects—they have represented key moments from the life of Jesus, offering thoughtful and imaginative interpretations of His teachings and actions. This hands-on approach has brought the scriptures to life and encouraged personal reflection and deep engagement.
In Mathematics this term, our students have been enthusiastically exploring the properties of 2D shapes. Through a variety of engaging and hands-on activities, they have been learning to identify and describe shapes based on their sides, corners, and other features. One of the students’ favourite activities has been using geoboards during our morning group times. These tools have allowed the children to create and investigate shapes in a fun, interactive way—developing their spatial awareness and fine motor skills at the same time. We have also been exploring the concepts of “heavy” and “light” through hefting, where students compare the weight of different objects using their hands. This has sparked great discussion and curiosity as they begin to understand measurement in a very real and tangible way. Our learners love being hands-on, and it’s wonderful to see their mathematical thinking grow through active exploration and play.
The students are thoroughly enjoying the MAT skills program. They are developing many skills that we are incorporating into our everyday life. It is a definite highlight of our week.
Year 1
One of the highlights of this fortnight was inviting our special people into our learning spaces for catholic schools week. The students loved showing off their classrooms and sharing what makes our school such a wonderful place to learn and grow.
In Maths, we’ve been busy learning all about data. The children have enjoyed collecting information, organising in ways that make it easier for us to read and understand. Year 1 was able to find out a lot about their classmates such as their favourite ice cream flavours.
In History, we’ve been learning about how families have changed over the years and what makes each family unique. The students enjoyed sharing stories about their own families and comparing them to families from the past. We also had some fun looking some photos of families from the past and recreating them.
In our religion lessons we have enjoyed learning about Jesus’ life and his family. The students enjoyed recreating temples that Jesus would have worshipped in when he was younger, using a range of materials. They were able to reflect on the similarities in Jesus’ life and their own.
