Transition to Winter Uniforms

There will be a two week transition to full winter uniforms when we return to school after our Easter holidays. This means children are allowed to wear either their summer or sports uniforms. They must be in full winter uniform from the 4th May. Students are still required to wear sports uniforms on M/W/F and formal uniforms on T/T. Uniform orders may be placed in Compass on your parent app's during the holidays, and the first day for collection will be Friday the 24th April.

We do have a special order placed for extra small sports pants to be made up (53cm). These are estimated to arrive in May so if we do not have a small enough size in sports pants for our Kinder students, please feel free to send your children in plain navy track pants in the interim.

Every year we have jumpers handed in with no names on them during the colder months. Can families please label their childrens uniforms. Even a simple biro will write on most of the labels.

Clothing Pool Reminder: Please don't forget that school uniforms can be donated at the front counter to our school clothing pool. These items are then sold for $5 each. Everyone is welcome to purchase from the clothing pool. Please call into the front office anytime to take a look at what donated uniforms we have for re-sale.

P & F Fundraiser

Final day for orders will be Friday the 10th April 2026.

Volunteer Induction Meeting 7th May

Any volunteers that we have in our school, whether they are parents, grandparents or friends of our families who do any type of volunteering for St Joseph's School are required to attend a short volunteer induction. This ranges from our canteen volunteers to any volunteers who help cook a BBQ or time sports races at any of our sporting events.

This induction meeting covers mandatory modules such as evacuation and lockdown procedures, child protection and general protocols for volunteering in our school.

We will have two sessions on the 7th May, to be held in the school hall (entry via Douglas St car park). These will start at either 2.30pm or 5.30pm, and will not go any longer than 30 minutes.

If you have attended an induction in previous years, it is requested that you attend this to refresh your understanding of our safety requirements. There is no need to RSVP, please just turn up.
