From the Principal's Desk
Dear Members of St Joseph's Community
Today our Year 6B class entertained us with a wonderful assembly item, reliving their Primary school years. There were lots of laughs as the students dressed up as staff members as they recounted their favourite memories. Congratulations to Mr N and the students on their creativity.
Philippines Immersion Trip
Good luck to Mrs Sally Clements and our six Year 11 students who will be embarking on the Philippines Immersion Trip this Saturday. We are sure you will make a significant difference in the lives you touch. Stay safe, and we look forward to hearing your stories next year.
Confirmation
Congratulations to those Year 6 students who received the Sacrament of Confirmation last weekend. The entire school community is very proud of your commitment to your faith.
Step Up Day
The highly anticipated Step-Up Day happens this coming Monday. Students from Kindy to Year 6 all move into their classes for next year and get to spend some time with their new teacher. New students to the school will be joining us so we can’t wait to meet new friends. Our new Year 7 students will also be joining us for their Transition Day.
