Principal's Message

Dear St. Joseph’s Staff, Parents/Carers, and Students,

As we come to the end of another school year, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to every one of you. Thank you for a wonderful year of learning—academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. It has been a privilege to walk alongside you, and I am truly grateful for the trust you place in our community. Your partnership in raising and educating your children is valued more than words can express.

It is with a heavy heart that I write my final newsletter for 2025. St. Joseph’s holds a very special place in my heart, and the memories, relationships, and shared achievements of this year will stay with me always.

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Mrs Arundal and Mrs Sefton all the very best as they step into the roles of Acting Principal and Acting Deputy Principal, respectively, for 2026. I have absolute confidence that St. Joseph’s is in exceptionally capable hands. Their dedication, strength, and deep faith commitment to our students and community will ensure that the school continues to grow and flourish over the coming 12 months.

To all members of the St. Joseph’s community, I wish you a safe, peaceful, and joy-filled Christmas, and a prosperous and hope-filled New Year. May this festive season bring rest, renewal, and time spent with loved ones.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support, your kindness, and your faith in our shared mission. It has been an honour to serve this community.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Sarah Iddles
