Reminder: Parking Restrictions Around Our School

We kindly remind everyone to be mindful of parking restrictions around our school to ensure the safety of our students and the smooth operation of daily drop-offs and pick-ups.

 

Please avoid parking in designated bus zones, which are located on:

  • Broadway Street
  • Hay Avenue
  • Gregory Street

These areas are strictly reserved for school buses. Parking in these zones can create congestion and pose safety risks for students boarding or exiting buses.

 

We also ask that you refrain from parking in the staff car park, as this area is reserved for staff members only.

 

Additionally, we ask that you do not park in the senior citizens' car park on Hay Avenue. This parking area is reserved for elderly members of our community, and we appreciate your cooperation in keeping it accessible for them.

 

Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our school community safe and respectful for everyone

 

Important Update: Hay Avenue Crossing Changes

Moira Shire has informed us that the School Crossing on Hay Avenue has been refurbished and changed to a Pedestrian Crossing. As a result, there will no longer be school crossing flags displayed during school pick-up and drop-off times.

 

However, our school crossing supervisor will still be present at the beginning and end of the school day to assist students and families in crossing safely.

 

The permanent yellow signs indicate that this is now a Pedestrian Crossing, meaning vehicles must give way to pedestrians at all times, day and night.

 

We ask all drivers to approach with caution and always give way to those using the crossing.

 

For further information or clarification, please contact Moira Shire directly. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community safe.

 

Lunch Orders & Ordering

Lunch orders, provided by Hungie Fangs, can be placed through the My School Connect app. Orders close promptly at 8:30 AM each day. This service is available from Tuesday to Friday.

 

Out of Uniform on Your Birthday

At St. Joseph's, we encourage students to wear casual clothes on their birthday. This is so everyone can recognise it is their birthday, greet them as such and celebrate with them on their special day.

Simon Outage

 

We would like to inform you that there will be a brief outage of the SIMON and

PAM websites starting at 7:00 AM on Monday, 10th March.

During this time our hosting provider will be transitioning to new hardware in their data centre.

 

The outage is expected to last approximately 60 minutes, and services are anticipated to be fully restored by 8:00 AM.

Given that this outage coincides with the March long weekend, we anticipate minimal impact.

 

We appreciate your understanding during this brief maintenance period.

Kind regards,

The SIMON team
