It has been a joy to welcome all of our students onsite over the past week. Our Year 7 students are well and truly set up in the Delany building, which is doubling as our Kildare Campus at the moment, while we wait to move to our new Campus during Term 2.

Thank you to the Year 7 parents and carers and to new students and families in other year levels for entrusting your children to us and for the manner in which you have accepted the changes we have put in place. You and your children are joining a community with a real sense of connection, welcome and engagement and I look forward to getting to know many of you in the months and years ahead.

This year we have employed a number of new staff to help provide additional support to our students and to prepare for a multi campus College. We are fortunate that they bring with them a plethora of experience and skill sets that will enhance our community. Our staff are committed to improving learning outcomes for our students. They are also enthusiastic about providing our students with many and varied opportunities.

Our Kildare Campus is moving along quite smoothly - our builders have managed to recoup some time and we are in negotiations regarding an actual date when we can move onsite. Families will be kept informed of theses arrangements as they are confirmed.

Over the break, we were saddened to hear that members of our community experienced significant loss in their family or friendship groups. As always we ask that they find comfort in our St Joseph's community and that we continue to provide the support that they need during these challenging times.

God Bless.

Anne Marie Cairns

Principal
