Congratulations to Aleya Yr 6 and Chloe Yr 5. Both girls will progress to the CDF Public Speaking competition being held at St Joseph's in term 4.
Wednesday 23rd October (Week 2, Term 4)
Many thanks to Mrs Jan Hutton and Mr Sam Jay for adjudicating.
Students Making a Difference
Thank you to Samuel and Joshua in Year 5 and their dad Mathias for coming to school on a Saturday to top up the two school sandpits. Samuel saw a need and did something about it with his brother.
Thank you for making a difference at St Joseph's.
Year 6 Farewell Mass and Supper
The Year 6 Farewell Mass and Supper will be held on Tuesday 17 December at 5:30pm. This very special celebration will begin with Mass followed by dinner in the school hall. Further information will be provided to Year 6 parents early in Term 4.
Pupil Free Day - Friday 22 November
Friday 22 November will be a pupil free day as staff gather for their annual spirituality day.
St Joseph's Bus Policy and Code of Conduct
Many of our students travel to and from school on a bus. On the whole, bus behaviour is within the expectations of a St Joseph's student. However, at times, and more recently, the conduct of some students has been very unacceptable.
I have now met with students who catch the bus to teach them about the school expectations whilst on a bus and to provide systems of support to help all students to be at their best on a bus.
For your convenience, the St Joseph's Bus Policy and Code of Conduct is attached.
Farewell Mrs Bunder
On Friday, at the morning assembly, we will farewell Mrs Bunder. Parents are very welcome to attend.

The following students will receive their Principal Awards at next Monday's afternoon assembly to be held on Monday 21 October @ 2pm in the hall.
