Principal's Update

Good afternoon families ...

Congratulations to our Choir for their wonderful performance at this week's 'Sandhurst Arts on Show' Spectacular.   Our students showcased their musical talents to the Greatest Showman's hit songs; 'A Million Dreams' and 'This is me'. We thank Mrs Sexton for preparing the students over the past few terms and choreographing the performance.

School Engagement Surveys

We do wish to receive a large representation of families' feedback which will in turn shape school improvement at St Joseph's.  One last email with the survey link will be resent to today for anyone who wished to participate and hasn't done so yet.  Thank you to all families who have completed the online surveys.  

Traffic Management

We understand how congested traffic can become directly before and especially after school.  I ask all school families to be mindful of others and follow basic traffic rules for the safety of everyone including double parking which is illegal on any street.   We have had to contact local Police asking them to monitor the situation during pickup times.

RUOK?

Students enjoyed being part of RUOK Day today ...

School Fees & Levies

Statements for school fees & levies are 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.

Kind Regards,

Peter Teggelove, Principal
