WELCOME NEW STAFF

This term we welcome two new teachers to our staff for the rest of 2019, both of whom have been working in casual roles previously. Mrs Jemma Wilkins is working in 1 Green on Thursdays and Fridays for Terms 3 and 4, sharing the week with Mrs Rhianna Hancock. Mr Brent Nichols is working in 5 Green on Mondays for Terms 3 and 4, sharing the week with Mrs Vanessa Goldstein. He will also be working collaboratively with Year 5 on Wednesdays. I know that our families and staff will make them welcome.

WELCOME NEW FAMILIES

We are happy to introduce and welcome two new families to St Joseph’s this week, with three students starting on Monday. We welcome the Howell family to our school community with Mia in 3 Green and Jasmine in 4 Green. We also welcome the Sachan family to St Joseph’s with Khussh in 6 Green.   

FATHERS DAY - SAVE THE DATE

Please mark your calendars for our Fathers Day celebration which will be held on Friday 30th August. We will have a prayer service to give thanks for our remarkable Dads, Grandads and special role models at 10:30-11:00am in the MPA. This will be followed by a shared lunch with your children on the playground. We hope you can come along.

A BIG THANK YOU - SCHOOL FACELIFT

We would like to express an enormous thank you to Mr Matt Moretti (School Grounds and Maintenance) and Mrs Josie Wilton (school Education Assistant) for some much needed work to spruce up the area around the canteen. With some hard work and paint, Matt and Josie took the red brick front and side of the canteen and transformed it into a work of art, which has completely lifted it to a lighter and more inviting area. They are not finished yet…...both of these superstars have some other ideas to brighten our school environment.

GROWING MINDS OUTDOOR CLASSROOM WORKING BEE

Our school Sustainability Team have been working with Mrs Shannon Kelly (Teacher) and some experts in the field, to plan and organise the concept of our “Growing Minds' Outdoor Classroom”. The area between the Library building and Year 1 classrooms has been cleared in preparation for this work to commence. See the flyer below for all of the details for the project.  We warmly invite parents, carers and children to be involved so if you have a little bit of time, or the whole day, available on Saturday 24th August, we would love you to play a part in the work. It will start at 9:00am and go until it is complete. More details to come.

CONGRATULATIONS
