Principal's Message

(Heads, Hearts & Hands)

Dear Lord

Please bring comfort and healing to those in our hearts who are in need. We pray for our family members, our friends and all in our community. Keep our loved ones safe and well and in your loving care.

Amen

Dear families

Welcome back to Term 4! I hope everybody had a restful break over the holidays and is ready for a busy term here at St Joseph's. 

The children have settled back into class after the break and we are all looking forward to the warmer weather. 

Over the break we have had some OHS work done on the playground with tree roots removed and new tarmac to remove any tripping hazards. Next week we will be having a large shade sail installed outside the Junior Block to encourage some more teaching opportunities outdoors.

Mrs Jenny Keely visited us on Friday and sends her love to everyone. We also wish Ms Cooke a restful couple of weeks while she is on Long Service Leave. Jo Hemmings has done a great job looking after and teaching our Foundation students while Hanna has been on leave. 

Thank you Jo.

A reminder that Art Club with Jo starts on Thursday in the hall at 3.45pm.
