Message from the Leadership Team
Congratulations to our Primary Interschool Swimming team who represented the school superbly on Tuesday at the CAPPS carnival in Perth. There were some excellent individual results, however, the most wonderful thing to see was the encouragement of our students when each of their teammates took to the water. Thank you to Mr Watson for his organisation of the event.
Northam Town Team Children’s Street Fair
The Northam Town Team Children’s Street Fair is on this Saturday afternoon from 2.00pm - 5.00pm in the grounds of the St Joseph’s Church. Come along and support those students and families who are holding a stall. There are also many free stalls for children to take part in as well as a free sausage sizzle.
Also, this Saturday, is the first of our Community Masses, held at 5:30pm in the Church. We would love to see many of our students and their families at this mass.
Colour Run
Information regarding the Colour Run on Friday 28 March, has been sent home with each child. The booklet contains all the information you will need regarding times and what to wear. This link for online donations was emailed to families late last week and can also be found below. The link can be shared with neighbours, grandparents and extended family.
We recognise that the cost of living is difficult for many families, however, we are asking that all families try to make a donation towards the Colour Run as this is the P&F’s major fundraiser and is only held every 2 years.
With the funds raised the P&F will be making donations towards
- new home readers on the Primary campus,
- a laser cutter on the Secondary campus
- if there are enough funds then a water bottle filling station on each campus
We can’t wait for the fun of the day!

School Fees for 2025 School Year
2025 School Fees have been emailed out today. Please make sure you check in your junk mail box that it hasn't gone there by mistake. If you haven't received your fee statement please contact our Finance Department at finance@sjsnortham.wa.edu.au or by calling the Primary Campus on 9621 3500, thank you.
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.
