Principal's Report

Dear Parents,

Welcome to 2022! I hope that all our St Joseph’s families had a wonderful break and are ready for the school year ahead. St Joseph’s has welcomed 43 students back for the 2022 school year. 

A special welcome to our new students in Year 1, Isabella and Josephine. We also welcomed 5 beautiful little Kindergarten students Emily, Harley, Skyla, Emily and Jack. We are excited to welcome you and your families to St Joseph’s as you begin your learning journey with us.

Swimming Carnival

A big thank you to our parents that helped out at last week’s swimming carnival - or came to cheer on and watch the children swim. It was a great day and the children have been congratulated on their efforts. The next level of competition will be Lake Cargellico on Thursday 24 February. I will be in touch with the parents of students who have qualified for the next level.

COVID-19

Yet again we face Covid-19 challenges as the school year begins. Each day you will receive an email from Compass of any reported COVID-19 cases. A few updates regarding COVID-19 and what that means for schools at present.

  • You only need to notify the school if one of your children tests positive and we suggest you perform the RAT twice a week - on Monday and Wednesday morning.
  • Any student or staff member who is unwell and/or displays symptoms of COVID-19 will be asked to stay at home and complete a RAT or PCR test.
  • Students or staff must not come to school until they are symptom free, even if they get a negative RAT result.
  • All school staff will be required to wear masks indoors.
  • No parents or carers are allowed on school site for the first 4 weeks of Term 1.
