St Joseph's Community News

Before & After School Care

If a St Joseph's family wish to use the service, they are to apply to Rochester Primary School in the first instance. RPS will consider the application and inform the family of the decision in a timely manner. So, if you need the service, please don't leave it until the last minute to apply.

I am happy to assist families with these applications. Please let me know what your needs are and I will help write the letter requesting permission.

If you have any questions, please contact Liz Trewick.

Care Meals

St Joseph’s prides itself on being a community that is compassionate, connected and caring. At times we all need support, resources and a helping hand.

In 2023, we had donations of meals to our school from catholic schools in our cluster. We are now looking for families that can donate care meals for our freezer.

Please email etrewick@sjrochester.catholic.edu.au if you are interested in assisting with this program.

We have foil trays that we can send home with your child/children for you to fill with a homemade meal, for a family in need within our community.

Bookclub

We are looking for a volunteer to coordinate Book Club at St Joseph's. If you are interested, Sarah McInnes is willing to spend some time helping you understand the process.

Please let the office know if you are interested in this role.
