Principal's Update
St Joseph's is a child-safe school.
We promote the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of all students.
Good afternoon families ...
Art Show
Last week, we were able to showcase the artistic talents of our students at the St Joseph's Art Show. We appreciate families supporting this event with your attendance and interest. A special thank you to Mrs Michell and her team of organisers for presenting a memorable display. The silent auction items raised over $1,000. This money has been added to the PFA's fundraising account, which will fund new shade sails over the outdoor area near the school hall.
Book Week Parade
This has to be one of the highlights of our school calendar. I congratulate all our wonderful students for the creative and imaginative costumes they produced on the day as we celebrated our annual Book Week with the enchanting theme, 'Reading is Magic.' Our students fully immersed themselves in a variety of activities that brought the magic of reading to life. From storytelling sessions to creative arts and crafts, the joy of reading was truly felt throughout the school. A huge thank you to all our wonderful parents for your incredible support of the Book Week Parade!
Fathers & Special Persons Day
Please join us Monday morning for a special 'blokes' breakfast from 8am, to honour the important role they have in our children's lives. Don't forget to wear your favourite sports colours and grab a sausage for the kids.
R U OK? Day - Thursday September 12
Kind Regards,
Peter Teggelove, Principal

Hats on at St Joseph's
“Hats On!” at St Joseph’s - At St Joseph’s Primary School, our SunSmart Policy notes that all children will be required to wear school broad brimmed hats from ‘Hats On Day’- September 1 to ‘Hats Off Day’ - May 1 whenever they are outside including sports lessons. However, if the UV is 3 or above it is recommended hats be worn for protection. Children without hats will be required to remain in the outdoor eating area (green tables) at all times – ‘NO HAT, NO PLAY’ policy will be enforced.
School Fees & Levies
Statements for school fees & levies have been emailed to families. Please check your statement and contact the office if you have any questions.
It is expected that all school fees and levies are finalised by the start of December.
The school provides a variety of options for payment of school fees and levies - in full at the start of the school year / part payment at the start of each school term / by direct debit – weekly, fortnightly, or monthly / by direct payment into the school bank account or by regular payments at the school office by cash or EFTPOS. You can even pay over the phone if you wish.
It is important that payment of school fees and levies are honoured and prompt payment is much appreciated. However, if you are experiencing difficulty meeting your obligation for payment, please contact the school to arrange a time to discuss this with the Principal, Mr Peter Teggelove.
