Another beautiful week at St Joseph’s with glorious sunshine.  We are coming to the end of term 3 and the children will be looking forward to a nice break in the holidays.

The current covid restrictions will be in place for the remainder of this term.  It is expected that Term 4 will see new restrictions.  I wish I knew what that may look like for schools, but at this stage I would not hazard a guess.  Changes have been made to allow Yr 12 Graduations and events to happen, but at this stage there has not been talk about what that can look like for Yr 6 students and our end of year celebrations.  We do need to be aware that our end of year events will look very different.  We will hopefully have a clearer picture of this when Term 4 gets under way. 

One thing that is certain is that there will be no end of year performance for St Joseph’s in 2020.  With current restrictions it is not possible to mix classes, and we would normally be well under way with our preparations. Restrictions with participating in dance, and singing make it an even more complex challenge.   It is very unclear if we would even be able to present a performance even if we remained in our classes to the whole of our school/parent community, so unfortunately this event will not take place this year.

Our Maggie Dent webinar is on next Wednesday and we are looking forward to this great event.  A link will be sent to all families next week that will allow you to log in and join the webinar.
