A definite event on our calendar at Saint Patrick's School
- Annual Event
- Beginning of Term 4
- Reaching out to help people
- Raise money for the people in need
- Creating games and activity to raise money
- For Holy Angels in India
- Every year on the same day and the same time
Saint Patrick’s School is a Mission School. We have a direct link with the Sisters of the Missions and we learn across our time at Saint Patrick’s about the Mission Charism which is Prayer Community and Service.
Mission Day is an annual event held at Saint Patrick’s School Panmure every year in the beginning of Term 4. It is held on the same day and starts on the same time every year, it is always fun and functioning due to the creativity of the children who create games, activities and more to help raise over one thousand dollars for the Holy angels orphanage in India that is run by the Mission Sisters.
Mission Day is an exciting event not only for the customers but the children who put their effort into arranging the activities as it is a great time to test the creativity side of the brain. Not only do people from Saint Patrick’s come to participate in the event but the outside people like the librarians in the libraries and other people who get interested by the posters and advertisements come and enjoy their time.
It is a really great way of raising money for Holy Angels orphanage and also helping those at home here in our community by donating food to the local food bank. It is fun and there are in fact prizes that are won every year from the raffle as there are cool prizes which have included:lego, and one year even bikes. All this makes the whole day very exciting to spend your money and hope to win.
The interest of everyone drags them to have respect for others in need and to help them have a better life which makes Mission Day a very special event where no one is left out.

Mission Day
Mission Day 2017
Mission Day is an event that is held at St Patrick’s School Panmure. It is celebrated by parish members, parents, teachers and children. Mission Day is a special day for all students and teachers to help fundraise for the orphanage in India known as the Holy Angels which is run by the Mission Sisters. It is part of reaching out, not only for those in need but for those who are suffering for thirst, shelter, food and warmth and also those who may not get the opportunity to go to school and have education that will give them better opportunities in the future.
Our Mission Day, includes fun activities suggested by students in each class, raffles by teachers and food. It’s a significant day because Mission Day is part of our Mission Charism, which includes Prayer, Community and Service. Every student have the opportunity to wear mufti. At the end of the day there are prizes to win and to take home which makes it much more interesting. It is a day that draws people’s attention into Mission Day.
The key reason behind having Mission Day is that it is a way of reaching out to help others. The event was always a memorial day that reminds most of us that the importance of this day was to reach others because no matter what their belief is, age and their culture they will always be loved. Which indeed links to the golden rule “Love thy neighbour as you love yourself!”
Mission Day to St Patrick’s students has always been a special part of them and been going on for years now. It was less than an event and more of a lifetime which helps us reach out to those in need.
