A Message from the Principal

Welcome to the 2024 School Year!

What a fantastic start we have had to the 2024 school year! As you can see from the photos below our students have come back happy and excited to see their friends. The classrooms look great as the teachers have been very busy setting up the rooms to foster a successful  year of learning. 

A special welcome to our new students and their families. We hope you enjoy your time at St Joey’s Stage 1: Zarabelle Bhardwaj; Stage 2: Charles Hand & Dougie Pengilley and Stage 3: Bradley Colgan, Bailey Garden & Braxton Hand.

Important Dates for your diary

School Swimming Carnival this Thursday 8th February at the Werris Creek pool from 9.30am. I look forward to catching up with our parents and grandparents as you cheer the students along.

Class Information Session and Welcome Back BBQ Monday 12th February from 5pm. This is a wonderful way to start the year: you can meet your child's teacher and education assistants, find out about how you can support your child's learning and meet other parents.  Just bring your family along. All food and drinks will be provided by the school. 

Welcome to the New School Year Liturgy and Student Leaders' Induction Tuesday 13th February at 10.30am in the library. All parents/carers & friends are invited to join us for this special liturgy. Come! Share the Spirit.
