Chicken Coop News

Mrs Meade will bring some chickens in to start eating the food scraps, weeds and occasionally the over abundance of spinach that we continue to produce.  When we clean out the chicken coop, this material will then go into the tumbler to make rich organic compost to renew our garden beds and feed our herb garden and fruit trees as well. Thank you Mrs Meade.  We know the chickens will be well looked after here at St Joey's.

Volunteers.  Thank you so much!

Thank you to Brad Stubbs for volunteering and moving many of the roofing tiles from the shadehouse to the new bike shed pictured in photo 1 above. We really appreciate your efforts with that.

Attendance

This is a timely reminder to parents that it is a legal requirement that absences are explained within 7 days on Compass.  It really can't be any easier than to log onto the app and put in an explanation. Let's make Term 4 a term with no 'unexplained absences'!

Visitors

Please remember to sign in and out of the school through the kiosk, everytime you come through the front gate. It is imperative that we have a record of everyone who is on the school grounds at all times - this is to keep children safe and in case of any emergency that may arise.

Working With Children Checks

If you are involved in volunteering here at school in any capacity you need to have a current WWCC.  These are available through Service NSW and are free for the volunteers check.  We are sending out sms messages to our current parents whose WWCC is expired or due to expire soon. If you have not sent through your details to the office we would very much appreciate it if you could make it a priority.
