General Information
School Uniform
The official changeover to the summer school uniform is Term 4. However, with the weather now warming up, students may wear either the winter or summer uniform. Parents are advised to use their discretion depending on the weather. Please remember that we do not mix the winter and summer uniforms. Therefore, depending on your choice, the students are to be dressed in either full winter uniform or full summer uniform.
School Summer Uniform: Girls are to wear their summer dress and boys should be in grey shorts and blue short sleeve shirt. All students will need to wear short navy socks and black school shoes. Please ensure that your child has their hat clearly marked with their name.
Thank you for your support in maintaining our high standards in regards to uniform as we transition to the warmer weather.

Lost Property
We have a number of items in our lost property that have not been claimed. Can you please make sure that all uniform items are clearly labelled with your child's name so they can be returned. It is impossible to return items that are not labelled or unreadable. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated.
Mobile Phones
Please remind your child that if they are bringing a mobile phone to school, they must hand it into the office at the beginning of the day. They are stored securely and students can collect them at the end of the day. Thank you for your support with this.
P&F Meeting
The next P&F meeting will be held Tuesday, 28th October at 5:30pm in the library. All parents and friends are welcome to attend.
Supervision of Students
A gentle reminder that supervision of students begins until 8:15am each day.
St Joseph's gates open at 8:15am each morning. To ensure all children are kept safe, please do not drop them off at school before this time to be left unsupervised.
Application for Extended Leave
Family holidays and travel are no longer considered under the Exemption from School Procedures. Travel outside of vacation periods is now counted as an absence for statistical purposes. Please see the office if your child will be away from school for 10 days or more as an application form will need to be completed and approved at the discretion of the Principals or delegate.
Change in Routine
Can you please advise the school office before 2:30pm if there is any change in your child's afternoon routine so we have time to let them know.
