Dear Parents and Carers,

As we come to the end of Term 1, I would like to thank all of the St Joseph’s students for their wonderful efforts throughout the term – whether it be their learning, their participation in many sporting events and carnivals or their interactions with their peers and teachers.

The Principal’s Awards this term have focused on qualities from the Resilience Project and our St Joseph’s ways of being, and it has been great to acknowledge the many students who display such positive attributes.  Words such as empathy, resilience, kindness, co-operation and gratitude are hopefully becoming a part of the children’s everyday vocab as well as knowing how they can be all of these things.

A huge thank you to our parents for coming to school events this term such as our Opening School Mass, St Joseph’s Feast Day Liturgy and today to our Easter Liturgy and activities.  Also for helping with the Adelong Show, Cross Country and transporting students and assisting with the Rugby Gala Day.

During the Easter break, I encourage our students to take some time to rest and recharge, and to spend quality time with their families – Term 1 has been a busy term.

Students will return for Term 2 on Wednesday 26^th April, and we look forward to another great term.  Many events will be added to the school calendar over the coming weeks – so please check regularly so that you are aware when things like the WR Cross Country, Rugby Day in Wagga, excursions, Mother’s Day activities, Catholic Schools week are happening to name just a few.

Our next newsletter will be in Week 2 next term and newsletters will now be published fortnightly on a Tuesday of even weeks of the term.

Thank you for your continued support, and I wish all of our families a happy and peaceful Easter.

Have a lovely week,

Kirsty Beavan

Principal
