Year 7 and New Students for 2019 Information Evening

A repeat of the Year 7 and New Students Information Evening for all St Joseph’s parents and students (and any other families who missed the presentation on 23 August) commencing in Year 7 2019 will be held on Wednesday 12 September. This is the afternoon of the Placement Test which will run from 4:00pm-5:00pm. Parents are welcome to visit the Creative Arts Exhibition in the Xanten Performing Arts Centre Foyer while waiting or to return at 5:00pm where a repeat of the information will be presented to students and parents in the Fr Peter O’Reilly Centre (not in the Xanten Theatre as previously advertised). The presentation will provide families with important information about the transition program to assist current Year 6 students as they head into Year 7 next year.  

Drop off and pick up

The safety of students is a priority at the College and some very dangerous practices have been occurring before and after school each day. Please do not drop your child off or wait for them for pick up in the administration carpark at the beginning and end of the school day. This carpark is only for Priory or school visitors. 

Lateness to School

Being punctual (on time) is a mark of respect and shows that you are reliable. It means you also value other people’s time. Stress can also be eliminated by removing the anxiety of being late! It is unfortunate that lately a number of students are arriving at school late with no valid reason. It is often just due to a lack of organisation, perhaps going to bed late and therefore not being able to wake up on time.

 

We expect students to arrive at school by 8.30am in order for them to have sufficient time to be organised and ready for Homeroom which begins at 8.45am.

 

We understand that there are genuine reasons why a student may be late to school (eg. appointments, car issues, traffic), so we ask parents/guardians to please contact the College as soon as possible to inform us and to ease our concerns when a child has not arrived.
