St Patrick's Primary School is a Catholic education provider in Kilmore, Victoria where we work collaboratively to maximise student outcomes. About St Patrick's Primary School St Patrick’s is founded on the values and teachings of Jesus Christ as they are presented to us in the Gospel. They are central to the vision and mission of our school and permeate every aspect of school life as our community accepts the challenge to walk in Jesus’ footsteps each day. At St Patrick’s, the children in our care are central to everything we do. Their uniqueness is recognised and celebrated as we strive to cater for individual learning needs. St Patrick’s is located at the southern end of Kilmore, situated 57 kilometres north of Melbourne. It is a rapidly developing, light industrial and residential town. The leading industries are pastoral, horse racing/trotting, education and tourism. Many of our parents commute to the outer northern areas of Melbourne for work each day. The township of Kilmore and the surrounding townships that form part of the parish of St Patrick’s have been predominately Anglo-Saxon but this is changing as more people establish themselves in the immediate area. St Patrick’s is a co-educational school offering a comprehensive curriculum including opportunities for multi-ability grouping. Children learn in a positive environment that encourages co-operation, risk-taking and effective communication between teachers, students and peers. Within this environment, students are expected to develop positive self-esteem, work cooperatively with others, take pride in their school and their work, value achievement and respect staff and other students. At St Patrick’s we aim to: Welcome and work in partnership with parents, who are the prime educators of their children. Nurture a caring community of staff, students and parents by promoting the values of respect, tolerance and co-operation. Personalise the children’s learning experiences by using a diverse range of teaching styles and methods Provide suitable opportunities that enable the children to develop in spirit, mind and body.

St Patrick's Primary School is a Catholic education provider in Kilmore, Victoria where we work collaboratively to maximise student outcomes. Sacraments of the Catholic Church Celebration of Sacraments reflects and influences what it is we proclaim, who we are proclaiming and what we do. The parish provides the experience of belonging to a worshipping community. All Sacraments are celebrated in the Parish Church. Families and teachers work in partnership to prepare children for the celebration of the Sacraments by attending Faith Formation Forums for each sacrament and attending a Commitment Mass prior to celebrating the Sacrament. During the time of Sacraments being celebrated the focus is supported by the whole school. There are seven sacraments of the Catholic Church: Baptism; First Reconciliation/Penance; First Eucharist (Holy Communion); Confirmation; Anointing of the Sick; Holy Orders; and Matrimony. At St Patrick's students celebrate First Reconciliation/ Penance in Year Three, First Eucharist in Year Four and Confirmation in Year Six. Students who are not baptised Catholic or who do not receive the sacraments are expected to support their peers by participating fully in the program. The students participate in a Reflection day prior to receiving each of the Sacraments. First Reconciliation/Penance The Sacrament of Penance teaches students to be aware of their relationship with God and the people around them. Students learn about sin and its effects on their relationships with God and the people around them. Learning to make peace with the people we hurt is an important part of this process. First Eucharist/Holy Communion This sacrament is often referred to as First (Holy) Communion. Students learn more about how Jesus becomes present through the bread and wine that is offered during the Eucharist. It is during the Liturgy of the Eucharist that the bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Jesus. Confirmation Confirmation is celebrated at a special ceremony officiated by the Bishop and the Parish Priest. Confirmation candidates are encouraged to go out into the world, just as the Apostles did, with the Holy Spirit in their hearts.
