Dear Families,
World Teacher's Day will be celebrated in Victoria this year on this coming Friday 25th October. We are so fortunate to have such a passionate staff who strive to improve the learning outcomes of all students. I would like to acknowledge and thank the staff at St Joseph's for the immense effort and dedication that they put into their work in educating, inspiring and empowering learners. I feel extremely fortunate to work with such a dynamic team.
Hats off to our teachers!

Year 3/4 Camp
The Year 3/4 students will enjoy a two day camp at Lord Somers Camp. Camps are an important part of the curriculum and provide students with opportunities to build social skills, resilience, team work, independence and confidence. Thank you to Staff accompanying students (Vicki, Jess, Emma, Brittany, Jenny and Megan). I look forward to joining them on Thursday afternoon.

A big thank you to Jane Byrne, Mel McFayden and those who assisted with the planting of the garden area near the retaining wall.
