Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Week 4!  It has been wonderful this week to get back into the routine of St Joseph’s and to see the beautiful smiles of students that I have missed so much.

A huge thank you to Katrina McGrath and Ryan Forsyth who held my position in my absence.  I am grateful for the wonderful job that they have done and I know that the school was in safe hands.  A huge thank you for staff who not only had to step up and take on many extra roles and responsibilities but also for their support of Katrina and Ryan in their roles.

I have loved receiving cards and messages from the children, flowers and beautiful messages from parents and your general support whilst I was away.  It was a great source of strength for me and I am extremely appreciative to be part of such a caring and loving school environment.

For those parents and new families that I have not really had the opportunity to meet yet, feel free to pop in and say hello – I am looking forward to meeting you all.

It is a busy time of year with many things happening at St Joseph’s.  Many students are participating in the Western Region swimming carnival in Young today – we wish them all the best.  The Adelong Show is fast approaching and it would be fantastic if you could spare a couple of hours to help out with the BBQ – if you can pop your name on the google form that has been created that would be fantastic.

Have a lovely week,

Kirsty Beavan

Principal
