From the Principal
Dear Parents and Carers,
Henry Lawson Festival School's Drama Day
Congratulations to all students on their wonderful performance of ‘Alice the Musical’ at the School’s Drama Day. They each did a magnificent job portraying their characters and were very dedicated to learning their lines and songs.
A big thank you must go to the staff for their time and effort spent preparing for the event. In particular, Mrs Green for her impressive directing efforts.
We have to decided to perform an encore for those parents and friends that were unable to attend the School Drama Day (or for those that would like to witness the magic again) on Friday 30th June at 12pm on the school stage under the Cola. Hope to see you there.
Jump into Joey’s - Connect It!
On Tuesday, we participated in a Nature Scavenger Hunt, using iPads to capture images of our findings. We had an adventurous morning, using the technology whilst exploring with Year 5/6.
Henry Lawson Festival Parade
It was a perfect sunny day for our walk in The Henry Lawson Festival procession on Saturday. Faces in the Street was the theme with our students dressed up as members of our community. Thanks to everyone who could join us to represent St Joseph’s.
Forbes Eisteddfod
On Monday, our choir will be performing in the small schools section of the Forbes Eisteddfod. We hope they have a great time and look forward to hearing how they went. Good luck!
Fence
I am pleased to say that the fencing project is now complete, with the entire school enclosed and secure. As a bonus, it looks beautiful! Thanks to Catholic Education for their support of the project.

Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Partners in Learning Survey
We would like to invite you to complete the Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Partners in Learning survey. As we value the role of parents and carers within our school community we would greatly appreciate your feedback. The information you provide will be used to maintain our commitment to working together in partnership to further improve student learning and wellbeing at St Joseph's Primary Grenfell.
The survey is anonymous and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You are able to access the parent survey on your computer or mobile device by using the link in the Compass post sent to parents last week. Please contact the Office if you need help.
