Farewell and Celebrations

New Staff 2025

On Friday next week, students will meet with their teachers and grade peers for 2025. Everyone is looking forward to a wonderful start to their new year. 

We are thrilled to welcome Mrs Melissa Abbott, Ms Nicole Weaver, Mrs Alana Bensch, Mr James Schumann and Mrs Lisa James to our school community! As passionate and dedicated educators, these teachers brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to their respective roles. With a strong commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment, they are excited to get to know each of their students and building strong relationships with staff, and families as we embark on another successful school year together.

Further exciting news… Ms Weaver also has another friend joining her here at Joey’s, Bertie the therapy dog will also join our team. Welcome Bertie!

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our new staff and wishing them a wonderful year ahead.

SRC and Sport Leaders 2025

It is always a special time when our Year 5 students learn about and prepare for leadership opportunities. We were so impressed and proud of their efforts as a group in this process and would like to congratulate next year’s Student Representative Council and Sport Captains.

Christmas Hamper Appeal

Each year the major act of service to the communtiy that our students and families make to our Parish is through the Christmas Hamper Appeal. Through your generosity and hard work of our Mini Vinnies team we have been able to supply hampers to those in need in our parish.

Thank you for your generous donations!

Christmas Disco

Through feedback from our Tell them From Me surveys we found that the students wanted more events like school discos. With a bit of Christmas cheer and generous time from our teachers and Parent Community Group (PCG), we threw our Primary and Infants a wonderful disco evening.

Welcome to the Joey's Family!

Wildfire Songwriting Day

We had a blast when our favourite Diocese of Lismore Band, Wildfire, stopped by to write a new school song with us!
#Everybody needs a champion, everyone needs a friend, with courage, compassion and humility, we are all one in Christ. We are all one in Christ!#
