St Joseph's Primary School Barraba

Principals' Message

Mrs Dominica Bearman

Dear Parents and Carers,

We welcome everyone back to the final school term for 2024!  We hope you were able to enjoy quality time with your children and family members during the holiday break. It has been great to witness the smiles on the students' faces as they have enthusiastically and eagerly entered the school each day, rejuvenated for another action packed term. It is truly wonderful to see our school with such a buzz of excitement in the classroom and on the playground as the staff and students begin Term 4.

 

The final school term is always a busy and exciting time and there are always plenty of things to look forward to as the year draws to a close. This is especially true for our Year 6 students and their families as they conclude their primary education. We encourage you to make the most of the special moments that will occur over the next few weeks and to cherish the memories created during your time here at St Joseph's.    

Kindergarten Transition Program

This week we continued our Kindergarten Transition Program and once again warmly welcomed the pre-schoolers and their families to St Joseph’s School. The children are attending full days this term. A great start to Kindergarten is an important part of the educational journey. We look forward to a long and happy association with our newest school members and their families here at St Joseph’s Primary School.
