Thank You 

We want to extend a massive thank you to the members of our community who have stepped up in recent weeks in various capacities. Whether you have contributed to the meal train, volunteered to assist at the Athletics Carnival, or helped with the organisation of our Mother’s Day Breakfast. 

We are incredibly grateful for the way our families consistently step up in times of need, offering their assistance and energy to ensure that events at school run smoothly and are made even more special for our students. 

It is a privilege to be part of a community where everyone shows up for one another and doesn’t hesitate to offer their support in times of need. We are so fortunate to have such a strong, caring group of families who help make our school a warm and welcoming place for everyone. 

Your time, efforts and kindness does not go unnoticed, and we are deeply appreciative of everything you do for our school community.

Class Feature – Kindergarten and Year 6 Buddies
 

Two weeks was a long time for our Year 6 and Kindergarten buddies to go without one another over the Easter break. The reunions on the first day back were so special to witness and how lovely it was to see the connections that have been built between our youngest and eldest students in such a small amount of time. On the last day of Term 1, our mighty and mini mates got together to give cards, thanks and cuddles for the love, support and fun that has been had so far at big school. 

 

Mother's Day - SchoolTV 

Please click here to view this week’s special edition report on SchoolTV Celebrating Mother’s Day 

Happy Mother’s Day for Sunday to all of our beautiful St Joseph’s mothers, grandmothers and mother figures within our community. I hope you find the time to relax and reflect on your amazing contributions to your child’s life and education this weekend. Enjoy the love and appreciation you so richly deserve!  

Our thoughts and prayers are with those this weekend who: 

  • Are grieving the loss of their mother. 
  • Have lost children. 
  • Are yearning to be mothers. 
  • Have difficult relationships with their mothers. 

May we all take the opportunity to show appreciation, offer support, and hold space for the full range of experiences within our school community.
