Dear Parents and Carers

We have managed to fit a lot into 9 weeks. I hope you enjoy reading the recap from each class / unit.

We are a great space to be because we work together to add value to our students lives. Whether it be academic, physical, emotional, spiritual or social. Everyone has pulled together to provide an environment where all children feel valued and important.

We have many things to look forward to in Term 3. The final page of our newsletter has dates for Term 3. Some of these may change and some may be added. Please keep an eye on them.

We are thrilled to announce that a grant application to be a part of Dogs Connect has been successful.

Eliza McNamara has spent a great deal of time working with School Focussed Youth Services to secure a grant for this for our children.

We understand there are some students that don't like being around dogs. We will be mindful of this as we introduce Sully to all children.

All children will be a part of a Responsible Pet Ownership session, to support the introduction of Sully to St Joseph's.

If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to talk to your child's teacher after the holidays.

We hope to see movement at the Kildare Centre over the holidays. At the moment, Bay Building are working on spaces that don't require permits.

There may be some altered entry spaces after the holidays. Families will be informed of these before school returns.

Hot Chips hit the spot today for our lunch to celebrate the CAUGHT YA! award winners for this term. Illness and holidays meant some of our winners were not present to share lunch with us.

Students receive the CAUGHT YA! award because they have lived our school expectations in an exceptional way.

We look forward to celebrating more students in Term 3.

I am away for the first week but can be contacted by phone in an emergency. Otherwise, I am back on the 1st July.

I hope you have a restful break and we look forward to working alongside you in Term 3.
