Student Support

Dear Families,

Last week was Australian Teacher Aide Appreciation Week. We are fortunate to have a wonderful team of Educational Assistants (EAs) at St Joseph's Primary School: Mrs Kim Wadwell, Miss Kim Taggart, Miss Jade Hewitt, Mrs Sumudu De Silva, Mrs Lisa Vile and Miss Taylor Bruce, Mr Alex Taggart and Mrs Stephanie Simmons. 

Our EAs are involved in providing targeted support in the classroom guided by the class teachers, running specific programs of intervention such as MiniLit and Read3, enhancing the skills of students for whom English is a second language as well as developing helpful relationships with a range of students in order to support their wellbeing and learning. 

Being an EA requires punctuality, flexibility, initiative and collaboration. We take this opportunity to thank our EAs for demonstrating these skills and we celebrate and acknowledge the significant role that they play in supporting learning at our school. 

Kind regards,

Miss Phoebe George
