Dear Parents,

What a wonderful concert last week! It was a night full of positivity where our students were able to shine on the stage. Our 2022 school concert was designed and led by students. Student voice and agency provides the opportunity to flourish and shine, enriching their lives to know they can achieve anything they set out to do. Students chose the theme, designed the costumes, help choreograph the dances and helped write the script- what amazing talent we have in our school!

Our budding Mathematicians, Scientists, Tech wizzes and engineers took us all on the adventure of our life providing provocations that made us want to learn more and more about the possibilities out in space.

The performing arts encourages children to explore their emotions, expand their imagination and helps them develop their own, unique voice. The opportunity to perform is so important for every child building dispositions such as confidence, resilience, creativity and building important collaborative team building skills.

Congratulations to Sue Jackson, Kate Huon, Ibu Ellen and the team on the most amazing concert. This only happens when wonderful staff scaffold students believing, supporting and trusting that they can achieve anything they set out to do.

Thanks also to Kerry Coliver and Peter Whyte for leading our remembrance day service. This is extremely important in our school with many defence force families serving our country being of service to others and experiencing very challenging and difficult situations to keep us all safe in our wonderful country.

Weeks like last week really give us the opportunity to stand proud and strong as a wonderful St Joseph's community. This is lived out in the way we join together to encourage our students to be respectful, encouraging and inspiring human beings.

Just a reminder students must wear full uniform every day- black leather shoes must be worn on Monday, Tuesday and Friday and sports runners on Wednesday and Thursday. All uniform must be official uniform purchased from Beleeza. If you are suffering financial hardship please email principal@sjcribpoint.catholic.edu.au as I have some funds from a donation for school uniforms.

Our official transition session for 2023 will be held on Tuesday 6th December from 11.30- 1pm.

On this day all students in the school will attend a session with their new teacher for 2023. This provides an opportunity for students to be prepared for the following school year.

During this session your child will spend time with their 2023 teacher and class members. On this day you will be given an envelope with all of the necessary information pertaining to the 2023 school year.

You will also be invited to book in for an individual session with your child’s teacher at the commencement of the 2023 school year. This information will be provided in the information pack.

Please promote our wonderful school to all in our community. We are still taking enrolments for 2023. Word of mouth is the most effective marketing tool and so please invite any of your friends, family and community to come along for a tour of our school.

Yours in Partnership,

Gab
