From the Principal's Desk
Dear Members of St Joseph's Community
Welcome to Term 4!
I hope everyone enjoyed a well-deserved holiday and is feeling refreshed for the final stretch of the year. Believe it or not, there are only eight weeks left! The festive season is already being mentioned in passing—yes, someone in the office has already brought up Christmas, which feels a bit premature!
As we say goodbye to our Year 12s on the Secondary campus, we’re excited to welcome our incoming Year 6s through the transition program, details of which were sent to students and parents at the end of last term. It’s a big step, and we’re eager to help them settle into high school life smoothly.
Lastly, this Friday, 11 October, is World Teachers' Day. I want to extend a huge thankyou to all of our dedicated teachers. The hard work they put in—both during school hours and behind the scenes—makes all the difference. From organising camps and excursions to planning special events, their commitment to our students' success is truly appreciated.
God Bless.
Sharon Cusack
Head of Secondary (Acting Principal)
