Thursday 17 March marked the feast day of St Patrick the Patron Saint of Ireland. This day is more commonly known as St Patrick's Day. He was a 5th-century missionary and Bishop, who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. The day is a widespread celebration in not just Ireland, but the rest of the world as well, with parades taking place and streets covered in green decorations. 

The Social Justice team took it as a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with all things green! 

The team were at the gates bright and early to greet the rest of the students with fresh green apples and St Patrick’s day stickers, all with lively Irish tunes playing in the background to really get into the spirit of the day. At recess and lunch, green jelly cups were sold for $1 on the Hogan green and it was great to see so many students eager to try some. Overall, the day was an excellent way to celebrate St Patrick, and have a bit of fun as a student community.  

A huge thank you to Ms Mattar for organising the day!
