St Patrick's Primary School is a Catholic education provider in Kilmore, Victoria where we work collaboratively to maximise student outcomes. Playgroup and Breakfast Club At St Patrick's Primary School our Community Lounge is more than a staff room, it is a space for everyone, staff, students and families, to interact with the school. We value the relationships with our families and we believe that when we enrol a student, we enrol the whole family. That's why at St Patrick's we offer opportunities for younger siblings and their parents/carers to also engage with the school through our Playgroup and for students to come together and participate in the Breakfast Club program. Playgroup Playgroup takes place in the Community Lounge every Thursday from 9:00am to 10:30am. It is a fun environment for babies, infants, through to kinder aged children, to come together and play. It is also a wonderful opportunity for parents and carers to come together and get to know each other. The St Patrick's Playgroup is open to everyone, including existing families and those families looking to enrol at St Patrick's in the future. The playgroup allows both the children and the families to get to know the school and the staff, which aids with transition to school as the children get to school age. Breakfast Club St. Patrick’s Breakfast Club is open to all students every Friday between 8:15am and 8:40am. Whether a child is in need of breakfast, or is looking for a social opportunity, breakfast club is open to all students. With the support of St Vincent De Paul, the breakfast club encourages students to eat breakfast and to engage with other students in a relaxed environment. Parents/Carers must give permission for a child to attend and provide any allergy information. A permission form is sent to all families at the start of each year via the Parent Access Module (PAM) which can be found in your SIMON Everywhere phone app or through the computer login.

Cyber Safety Cybersafety is the safe and responsible use of information and communication technology. It is about keeping information safe and secure, but also about being responsible with that information, being respectful of other people online, and using good ‘netiquette’ (internet etiquette). When sharing anything using technologies such as computers, mobile devices, email and the internet it is important you and everyone else invited to your account understands about netiquette and staying safe online. Even if you are confident about cybersafety it would be a good idea to check if all those invited to your account have the knowledge they need, too. When choosing a password, choose something consisting of letters and numbers, that would be difficult to guess from public information about you. Never write your password down or share it with anyone. If you think someone is acting suspiciously, or requesting information you feel uncomfortable about advise your parents or the school immediately. If you think you are cyber safe, take the following quiz from the Office of the eSafety Commissioner to see just our cyber safe you are: We are excited to announce that St Patrick’s is now officially an eSmart school.
