Leonardo comes to St Patrick's Parramatta

Last year, when Miss Fabri started as principal of our school, she brought with her a special friend. He was a blue and yellow monster and he had an earring in one ear and funny green hair. Miss Fabri told us that he was very happy to come to St Patrick's with her, however he wanted us to help him as he had a little problem. The problem was that unlike all the boys and girls and adults in our school, and monsters for that fact, he did not have a name. Miss Fabri knew that the children at St Patrick's are very creative and helpful so she set about organising a competition to find a name for her little friend. As expected many children entered the competition and came up with a wide variety of wonderful names to call him. Some children chose the names of their dads like George, Sam and Mardi, some wanted to call him a made up name like Squishy or Furry and some just chose their favourite names. Miss Fabri's friend however loved  just one name and that was the name of a man that lived a long long time ago, a man that was a great artist and inventor, A man who understood that God made everyone different. His name was Leonardo Di Vinci. Leonardo just loves his name and he will be always grateful to the student in Year 5 who christened him Leonardo. Her name is Emmaline. Thank you Emmaline!

Hello, my name is Leonardo!
