Dear Parents and Carers,

Opening School Mass

How special it was to join as a school community yesterday to ask for God's blessings for this new school year. We welcomed the new students and staff members and blessed the new student leaders for 2023. 

There are some very special traditions that St Joseph’s has that connect us with each other - including the Star Banner and “I have called you by name” song. These personal touches remind me how blessed we are to be apart of a warm and caring community.

It was lovely to have Fr Jiss, parents, family and parish members joining us for morning tea after the event. A joyous occasion, that has set the tone for a wonderful year ahead.

Thank you to Fr Jiss for presiding over the mass for us, as always he did a wonderful job making everyone feel warm and welcome. Thanks also to Mr King for assisting him as acolyte and to Mrs McFarlane for her behind the scenes work preparing the mass.

Playgroup

Last Friday was our first official St Joey’s Playgroup. It was a great success with a number of parents and carers joining Mrs Baker for a fun morning of activities. It was also fantastic to have Kathy out the front with the Unwind coffee van for a great Friday morning pick me up!

Please let anyone know that may be interested about Playgroup and remember to grab a coffee when you drop the kids off or drive past.

Kind thoughts,
