From the Principal

What a Wonderful Year at St Joseph's.

Today in our Presentation Day you will have witnessed a celebration of learning at our School.  

There is much to give thanks for in 2025!  However the greatest achievement is the wonderful growth in the learning of our students, in the collaboration with our families and the joy of our Faith shared throughout our year.

In my final speech I thanked all those who have contributed to our successful year.  We cannot achieve success without the support of each and every one of our families and the tireless efforts of our amazing staff.

Our children are second to none in their attitude, values and behaviour and so we thank our children for their hard work this year.

Year 6 Farewell Dinner

What an amazing evening!  Our families enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by the Steinbrook Hall volunteers. It was lovely to see our Year 6 students so beautifully dressed for the occasion. Our Captains shared a well prepared speech, reflecting on the years at St Joseph's. Mrs Murphy had put together a slide show of events throughout their schooling and it was lovely to see their Kindergarten photos against their current Year 6 photos.

Our school has farewelled our Year 6 students and ten of our families who are leaving us this year.  We ask God for his blessings on them all.

Check out our Garden Club's Produce.

Thanks Ms Sonego for your work with the Garden Club.  They have reaped what they have sown.
