Whole School News
Message from the Leadership Team
Congratulations to all those involved in last Friday’s Swimming Carnival. It was a wonderful day and well done to Leonard House for taking out the Overall Combined Shield. While there were many individual success stories, the biggest winner on the day was the overall school spirit. I congratulate those students who attended on their behaviour and willingness to have a go.
Uniform Issues
Sports shirts
- Thank you to those who have provided us feedback about the challenges faced with the fabric of the new sports shirts. We have been in touch with the supplier and will be working with them to try to find a solution moving forward. Please note that it will not be a quick fix.
Formal uniform
- We have asked Perm-a-Pleat to add the school as a drop-down option for the delivery address for those who only have a PO Box. Until that happens families are able to type in the school’s address (1 Lance Street) and the item will be delivered to the Primary office.
- We have passed on the concerns about lack of tracking of the parcels and they are working on this. We are hopeful that this will be added to their processes.
- Unfortunately , there has been a delay in the fabric for the softshell jackets and these will not be available until early May. However, the jumpers are now available online from the Perm-a-Pleat store: https://stjosephsschoolnortham.permapleat.com.au/shop

School Fees for 2025 School Year
The School Advisory Council has endorsed the increase of the school fees by 4%. This is an average figure, with the primary fees not being impacted as much by the increases. This was tabled at the Annual School Community Meeting in November. A link to the 2025 school fees can be found here.
