St Patrick's Primary School is a Catholic education provider in Kilmore, Victoria where we work collaboratively to maximise student outcomes. Parents and Friends Committee The Parents and Friends Committee is a volunteer group of families that meet each month to discuss activities for the school and organise social and fundraising events for both within the school and the broader community. The P&F conduct various social activities such as Mother's and Father's Day breakfasts, disco and movie nights, Mother's Day luncheon and the new families barbeque. The fundraising activities are conducted to raise money for internal purposes such as major equipment purchases like the synthetic turf and new playground equipment, as well as for external purposes such as Caritas (international aid and development organisation of the Catholic Church in Australia), St Vincent's De Paul and other community and relief organisations. The P&F committee is made up of a president, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer and assistant treasurer, along with general committee members. General committee members can be involved in the committee as much or as little as they wish. Some choose to only attend a few meetings a year and simply provide feedback, whereas others choose to take the lead and run specific events, and others will simply help out on an ad hoc basis for individual events. There is no need for specific skills or abilities, it is more important that you bring your own life skills and experience as a family member at the school. Being on the P&F committee is a great way to establish new friendships within the school community and to also show your children that you too have a commitment to the school.

St Patrick's Primary School is a Catholic education provider in Kilmore, Victoria where we work collaboratively to maximise student outcomes. Student Wellbeing At St. Patrick’s Primary School, Kilmore we hold the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people as a central and fundamental responsibility of our school. Our commitment is drawn from and inherent in, the teaching and mission of Jesus Christ, with love, justice and the sanctity of each human person at the heart of the gospel (CECV Commitment Statement to Child Safety). At St Patrick's, we promote a safe, consistent and predictable learning environment for all students. Student wellbeing is a responsibility shared between home and school and at St Patrick's the communication between home and school provides a vital link to ensuring student well-being. The school has implemented frameworks and programs to encourage positive social behaviours such as: The Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Framework, Respectful Relationships and the We Thinkers Social Explorers program. Other initiatives that support the students include the Seasons for Growth program, social skills support programs for students, the provision of clubs at play and lunch time and Christian meditation and prayer. These moments of quiet reflection assist the students to increase their feeling of wellbeing. St Patrick's has a Matrix of expected behaviours that reinforces the school guiding value of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience. Through the explicit teaching and positive acknowledgment of the expectations every child is provided with a consistent and equitable environment that supports them to act in a way that ensures all members of the school community are respected, able to learn and interact in a safe and supportive learning environment. Wellbeing is fundamental to successful learning. Wellbeing is “feeling good” about myself, my relationships as well as my sense of meaning, purpose and growth. It is a state of positive emotional and social functioning. Students who are happy, confident, and able to establish meaningful relationships are better placed to achieve positive learning outcomes.

Please contact Deb Amodio, the Finance Officer, to setup your direct debit if you have not already done so. Late in 2021, our head office, MACS, released a new Concessional Fee Policy, which provides reduced fees for: families of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent; families with Health Care or DVA Cards; or those families facing severe financial hardship. In order to be eligible for the Concessional Fee Policy, you must be entitled to the CSEF Payment, with an eligibility cut off date in April. Do not delay in applying for CSEF and Concessional Fee, as we cannot apply the discounts if the CSEF application is not approved. If you believe that you may be eligible for a concessional fee, please contact Deb Amodio (deb.amodio@spkilmore.catholic.edu.au ) to request the documentation to apply for the concessional fee. The concessional fee must be paid by direct debit and the concessional fee is not retrospective, and any existing debt stands in full. If you face issues in paying the school fees, at any time during the year, please contact Deb Amodio, and discuss what arrangements can be made to assist your situation. It is important that you contact the school early so that we can assist appropriately. Working With Children Checks St Patrick's Primary School takes our obligations and responsibilities in relation to child safety very seriously. The school is required to ensure that anyone that has direct contact with a child has been screened and inducted into the school appropriately. The State Government's WWCC provisions establish the minimum standard in our state. At St Patrick's, with the support of our head office, MACS, we have implemented higher standards to ensure the utmost protection for our students. These standards were developed in consultation with both MACS and Victoria Police. We require all visitors to the school who have direct contact with students, regardless of their relationship to the students, to hold a current and valid WWCC. This requirement applies to parents, all relatives over the age of 18, contractors and volunteers. Direct contact typically occurs during events such as camps, excursions, classroom assistance, and interactive events like the walkathon or work showcases. For visitors who do not have direct contact with students, while we still require them to sign in at the front office for emergency management purposes, a WWCC is not necessary. This includes situations such as parent-teacher meetings or attending assemblies where visitors do not engage directly with students. The school understands that the sign-in process can be time-consuming, and the school is including additional devices during events to assist with the timely processing. That said, these measures are in place to safeguard the students. The school cannot assume that a parent without a WWCC has simply overlooked the requirement; it is possible they may not hold a WWCC due to not passing necessary police clearances. Given that a significant majority of child-related offenses are committed by individuals known to the child, we prioritise the WWCC and induction requirement to ensure the safety of all our students. The induction process must be renewed every 12 months, and an email reminder will be sent to the registered email address and can be completed online rather than coming to the school. This requirement applies to any person over the age of 18. Exemptions do apply to anyone who is under 18, or a police officer, or a VIT-registered teacher. If any of these categories apply, you can say you have a WWCC exemption. We strongly recommend all parents and family members, such as grandparents who will visit on special occasions, to ensure you have a current WWCC. Anyone that does not currently have a Working With Children Check can apply online here: 2026 Requisite List Apply Here

During Term Four the Annual Action Plan is reviewed. The evidence collected determines if the goals have been met or require adjusting for the following year. School Improvement Plan The ultimate goal of school improvement is to improve outcomes for students including levels of achievement and wellbeing. The school improvement framework promotes a four year cycle of school improvement and recognises the distinctive nature of catholic school. The catholic school vision developed by the school community provides the motivating force for all school improvement planning within that specific catholic school community. The vision is embedded in five interdependent spheres of school: Education in faith, Learning and Teaching, Student Wellbeing, School Community and Leadership and Management. The framework seeks to support schools in establishing the organisational conditions to support continuous improvement. It aims to ensure that the unique features of each school situation are recognised and that the analysis of the schools particular context is used to inform the development and subsequent implementation of school improvement strategies. The framework promotes an evidence- based inquiry approach to planning within the school. It requires schools to incorporate ongoing monitoring and evaluation of student outcomes to ensure continuous school improvement is made. St Patrick’s is currently in the first year of the school improvement cycle. A copy of the school's current School Improvement Plan can be found here .
