Signing in to the school and supervision

Thank you to those parents and carers who have assisted us in our sign in process entering school grounds. We appreciate you supporting us keeping all children safe.

We remind families that supervision in the morning at school begins at 8:30am. Students who arrive a short time before 8:30am are to sit under the COLA. There are a variety of before school care options who will drop students off to school in the morning. Please ask our lovely Office Aunties if you need details for these services due to early work days. 

Condolences

It is with sadness that I share the news that Tracey McMahon, mother of Joseph Hunt in Year 5, passed away last Sunday after battling illness for some time. Joe’s siblings were former students of our school and we sent our prayers and condolences to his family this week on behalf of St Joseph’s community. 

Parent and Carer involvement at school

We will be reintroducing opportunities for involvement back to school during this term in a variety of ways. We are looking for parents and carers to assist with canteen and school based activities. As teachers work through the best ways for this they will communicate with year groups. We warmly welcome you to come to events in our school such as prayer services and carnivals. Please watch the newsletter and your emails for notes as they come through across the term.

Families Learning Together 

Another way we are promoting involvement of families and engagement in learning is through out of school sessions. We are planning forward some opportunities for families to come and learn about what happens at school in practical hands-on ways during the rest of 2021. Examples could include Digi-tech, Literacy, Numeracy, social and parenting support. We also are open to suggestions of parent sessions that support you with your children, so if you have an idea you think may be of benefit to you and others, please let us know so that we can work towards some of these.

Congratulations

It is with pleasure we announce the safe arrival of a new baby brother for Cooper Grant (6H) on Wednesday.  Congratulations Cooper and family on baby Porter.
