St Patrick's Primary School is a Catholic education provider in Kilmore, Victoria where we work collaboratively to maximise student outcomes. Family School Partnerships “To build and strengthen links with families and the local community to improve student learning and wellbeing outcomes.” Catholic Education Melbourne's Family–School Partnerships initiative At St.Patrick’s, we are dedicated to building and strengthen links with families and the local community to improve student learning and wellbeing outcomes. “Each person’s formation takes place within a process that is implemented over many years by several educators, starting with parents.” – Pope Francis (2014) What is Family School Partnerships? Family-school partnerships are collaborative relationships and activities involving school staff, parents and other family members of students at a school. Why are they important? At St. Patrick’s we believe that families are the first educators of their children and they continue to influence their children’s learning and development during the school years and long afterwards. It is vital for schools and families to work in partnership together. Research tells us that the most effective schools have high levels of parental and community involvement and that this involvement is strongly related to improved student learning, attendance and behaviour. A copy of the school's Family School Partnerships Policy can be found here .

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.

Assessment and Reporting Assessment and reporting is a critical element in the education process. Assessment allows teachers to track a student in their learning journey, and the reporting of that assessment ensures that the information is shared to families and goals are set going forward. Teachers, Students and Parents/Carers work in partnership in the assessment and reporting cycle. At St Patrick's, assessment is an ongoing process, both formally and informally, as they watch, record, collect data and help develop the children in the classroom. That assessment is not just academic, but can also include their social and emotional wellbeing as well. The following formal assessment and reporting events take place during the year: Term 1 - "Get to know you interviews" for parents and teachers to meet early in the term. Term 1 - NAPLAN 11-23 March 2026 for Years 3 and 5. A report to the child’s family is then distributed at a later date. Term 2 - Mid-year written school report, delivered electronically through PAM (below). Term 2 - Three-way conferences, between parent, student and teacher, where students lead the meeting to present their learnings. Term 4 - End of year written school report, delivered electronically through PAM (below). In addition to the above, there are a range of literacy and numeracy tests that the students do throughout the year to assess and develop their skill and progression in these areas. Productive partnerships are valued by the school community. At any time of the year, parents/carers are welcome to make an appointment with the classroom teacher to discuss their child’s progress. To access reports, the school uses the SIMON system and the Parent Access Module within SIMON provides access to your children's information, including reports.

St Patrick's Primary School is a Catholic education provider in Kilmore, Victoria where we work collaboratively to maximise student outcomes. Mathematics The heart of our vision at St. Patrick’s Primary School is to nurture a love of learning to enable all students to reach their full potential. Our Mathematics program, in line with with Victorian Curriculum (VCAA), supports the rationale that: “Mathematics provides students with access to important mathematical ideas, knowledge and skills that they will draw on in their personal and work lives. The curriculum also provides students, as life-long learners, with the basis on which further study and research in mathematics and applications in many other fields are built. Number, measurement and geometry, statistics and probability are common aspects of most people’s mathematical experience in everyday personal, study and work situations. Equally important are the essential roles that algebra, functions and relations, logic, mathematical structure and working mathematically play in people’s understanding of the natural and human worlds, and the interaction between them. The Mathematics curriculum focuses on developing increasingly sophisticated and refined mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning, modelling and problem-solving. These capabilities enable students to respond to familiar and unfamiliar situations by employing mathematics to make informed decisions and solve problems efficiently.” (Victorian Curriculum: Mathematics Rational, VCAA) At St. Patrick’s Primary School we aim to to develop a Growth Mindset and positive attitude towards Mathematics in all of our students and to provide a comprehensive Mathematics program where students will: “Develop useful mathematical and numeracy skills for everyday life, work and as active and critical citizens in a technological world See connections and apply mathematical concepts, skills and processes to pose and solve problems in mathematics and in other disciplines and contexts Acquire specialist knowledge and skills in mathematics that provide for further study in the discipline Appreciate mathematics as a discipline – its history, ideas, problems and applications, aesthetics and philosophy.” Victorian Curriculum (VCAA) The main reference for teaching Mathematics is the Victorian Curriculum. The Curriculum for each level is broken up across the four terms, into Term Planners, Term Planners are then used, to plan the weekly content for each classroom. Learning in Mathematics is led and supported by the Mathematics Leader and the Leadership Team. Timetabling of Mathematics assessment is determined by the Mathematics leader, and the classroom teacher according to the following requirements: PatM testing in completed during the month of November each year, or in March and November for Year One Whole term Pre-Assessments are completed during the final week of the prior term, with the exception of Term One (where they are completed in the first 2 weeks). Whole term Post-Assessment are completed during the final two weeks of each term Anecdotal notes, and checklists are completed and collected throughout the term Daily Mathematics lessons are differentiated to meet the individual learning needs of all the students in the class. This may be done through the use of open ended tasks, as well as group based tasks and activities. Students may work in a variety of different situations such an individually, in pairs or in groups. Learning Intentions and Success Criteria are communicated and/or displayed to the students as part of each lesson One of the tools used to support teaching and learning of Mathematics, is the Mathletics program. Each student in the school has their own individual account, which allows their teacher to set work and monitor progress throughout the year. Students are expected to use the Mathletics program both at home and at school. For more information about Mathletics go to their website here

School fee invoices will be sent out early in Term 1. All payments are made by direct debit. 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

St Patrick's Primary School is a Catholic education provider in Kilmore, Victoria where we work collaboratively to maximise student outcomes. Transition to Secondary School Transitioning from primary school to secondary school can be a time of great emotion. Whilst some students transition to other local secondary colleges, and participate in their transition days, the majority of our students transition across to Assumption College. St Patrick's likes to ensure that its students are ready for that move by implementing a range of transition sessions and programs to assist St Patrick's Primary School prides itself on its relationship with Assumption College (ACK). That deep bond between the schools extends to our Year 6 to Year 7 transition program. Our transition program is a year-long program that includes key staff from Assumption College attending St Patrick's throughout the year, as well as regular tours and invitations to participate in Assumption College events. In 2021, the transition program was extended for Terms 3 and 4 to include a fully immersive experience where the Year 6 St Patrick's students select one of Assumption College's Year 7 subjects that interests them and attend that subject onsite at Assumption College three times per week with the Year 7 students. All Year 6 students participate in this transition program regardless of which secondary school they attend for Year 7. The program is about providing our Year 6 students with a secondary experience such as attending different classrooms for different subjects, having different teachers and participating in a different style of learning. These experiences are transferable to any secondary school setting. Assumption College provides all Year 6 students with an Assumption email address and access to the Assumption SIMON Learning Management System (LMS) at the start of the program and are emailed a booklet of subject alternatives. Students electronically select a number of subject preferences and, depending on timetabling, the student will be allocated one of their preferences. As students could be allocated any one of their preferences, families are encouraged to work with their child to ensure that the subjects that are selected are reflective of the child's interests. Our Year 6 students fully participate in whichever class they attend. The class is conducted for 75 minutes, three times a week. Students are required to complete all work set both for in the class, and outside if required. Students also participate in all class assessments. Where students are required to have a laptop, St Patrick's provides the students with those laptops. As the Year 6 students are at Assumption College for almost four hours per week, there is an adjustment to the learning expectations at St Patrick's. Students continue to participate in their regular Literacy, Maths, RE and specialist subjects. Whilst students do not participate in formal SEL or Inquiry lessons, these subjects are incorporated into the other areas of their learning. As such, SEL and Inquiry are not reported on in the Semester 2 report, however their Assumption College subject will be. The content of this part of the report depends on the subject that the student participates in. Students at St Patrick's Primary School receive a unique transition experience that we believe is not replicated anywhere else. By giving our Year 6 students six months of genuine transition in a secondary school environment, the students learn how to move around a large campus, how to find and get to and from classrooms. In addition, they receive the benefits of the experience of having different teachers each day as well as engaging with current Year 7 students, from whom they can learn from their transition experiences, which helps to reduce transition anxiety in students. At St Patrick's we pride ourselves on developing the whole child, not just their academics, and this program is another way that St Patrick's sets up our students for success into the future, regardless of the secondary school they attend in Year 7. For those students who do attend Assumption College in Year 7, the Year 7 coordinator keeps in touch with the classroom teacher and throughout the year will occasionally attend the Year 6 classrooms so that the children have the chance to ask any questions they may have and it also gives them the opportunity to get to know them. For students with need, during the Parent Support Group (PSG) sessions in Terms 2, 3 and 4 there are ACK staff participating in the meeting so parents have the opportunity to voice any concerns they may have. Class teachers also fill in a personal transition form on each child in Year 6, including information about them so that their secondary school teachers have up-to-date and relevant information about the student before they get to their secondary school.
