Dear Parents and Friends

Well, we are certainly amid winter now! Great to see students wearing warm clothes in the morning and some St. Joseph’s beanies on display.

There are quite a few unnamed jumpers and beanies being left on the yard. Please label where possible.

Cross Country

Well done to Polly, Millie, Oscar, Leo and Noah who participated in the Division Cross Country last week. We wish Polly, Millie and Oscar all the best next Friday as they move on to regional Cross Country in Benalla.

Beanies

These are available at the office. See flyer for details.

Wood Raffle

Thanks to those parents who will be selling Wood Raffle tickets at the IGA this Saturday, 7th, from 8:00 am-1:00 pm. Please contact the office if you would like to help for an hour.

Magnify Focus

This term staff and students have been embedding routines in class with MultiLit, Intervention and OCHRE. Students are embracing the predictability of these routines and seeing the growth in their learning. As a staff we have had a few visits from Catholic Education Sandhurst staff and the Knowledge Society providing valuable feedback for next steps in implementation.

As with our recent Open Days, I encourage any parents to contact the office if you would like to visit classrooms and see this teaching and learning in action.

Book Club

The current book club that was sent home last week is due on June 19th. Please submit your orders before that date.
