Notes from Liz 

Welcome Mass

This morning, we were fortunate to kick off the 2025 school year with a mass at St Joseph’s Church.

We were delighted to celebrate our connection with the parish of St Joseph’s Church. Fr Caldow graciously blessed the staff and the 2025 Student Leaders.

After mass, we took a whole school photo with Fr Caldow. We look forward to welcoming parishioners to our school and spending more time with Fr Caldow.

Elmore Summer Send Off Thank You 

Thank you to all the volunteers who worked at the Elmore Summer Send Off Ball. 

Volunteers represented St Joseph's in the following roles: 

• Marquee set up 
• Traffic management 
• Merchandise 
• Car park security 
• Saturday evening kitchen 
• Saturday evening bar 
• Sunday morning breakfast 
• Final clean-up 

We are truly fortunate to have so many parents and friends committed to our school community. It was an absolute pleasure working alongside you across the weekend. 

Elmore Tractor Pull 

Enclosed is the colouring competition for the Elmore Tractor Pull. 

Although St Joseph’s is no longer partnered with the Elmore Events Centre, we still want to make sure all children have the chance to participate and win prizes. 

A hard copy of the colouring competition will be sent home today. Families are kindly requested to forward their entries to the Elmore Events Centre. Details are on the entry form.
