Electronic Signboard

The brand new electronic signboard has now been installed and it looks AMAZING! Thanks to Bec Knight for arranging the purchase and installation of the signboard and Susie McLelland for completing the development application with council. A big thank you to the P&F of course, for funding the purchase.

We hope to have the electrical installation soon and can’t wait to be sharing with the whole community the wonderful things happening at our school as they’re driving past!

Jump into Joey’s - Read It!

At St Joseph’s we want to promote a love of reading from a young age and Read It! was a fantastic opportunity to share our love of reading with our Jump into Joey’s friends.

National Simultaneous Storytime is held annually. Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops, and many other places around the country. The aim is to promote the value of reading and literacy.

We had lots of fun listening to this year's story, ‘The Speedy Sloth’ by Rebecca Young. The St Joseph's students then assisted our Jump into Joey's friends to create their very own sloths to take home. Well done to Year 5/6 for running a fantastic morning.

Tell Them From Me Survey

Every year Catholic Education conducts a survey regarding the performance of our school. Staff, parents and students (Yr 4-6)  are surveyed regarding feedback on Catholic identity, teaching and learning, school operations and student wellbeing.

Parents will be receiving a link to this important survey via Compass today. If you did not receive the link please let our front office know.  Results of the survey are important to us and all parents are encouraged to participate. The survey is open from Thursday 25th May to Friday 9th June.

Uniform and hats

A reminder that students are required to wear full Winter uniform, including ties and hats. Spare hats are not available due to the risk of sharing head lice (which we have recently had cases of at school). Please help support your child to ensure they are prepared for school and bring their necessary items.
