Principal's Report
A beautiful celebration of our Patron saint St Joseph today at Adelong! It was wonderful to walk through the classrooms and see all of the students showcase their learning and be proud of their progress and achievements. Our St Joseph’s liturgy was a great opportunity to reflect on the many qualities of St Joseph and to those values that we aspire to live out – kindness, caring, hard working and honest. It was so lovely to see our church full of family and friends to join with us on our special day.
A big thank you to our Community Council who made cakes and slices, and organised and cooked the sausages for lunch – again we appreciate all your hard work to make St Joseph’s day a great one.
Next Monday 25th March @ 5pm Sarah Rose from Catholic Education will be presenting at our Community Council meeting. The Community Council structure is changing and Sarah will unpack that and guide us through the changes – all parents are most welcome to attend.
Yr 3 and 5 students have now completed their NAPLAN testing. Well done to all students who gave it their all – it is just one piece of assessment that is a snapshot at this time of how our students are progressing.
Week 9 Thursday 28th March we will hold our Cross Country at the Adelong Golf course. The children will be transported by bus to the course. Thank you to all parents who have consented on Compass. All parents are most welcome to attend and we would love if any parents could be helpers on the day standing at checkpoints and manning the water station. In the first week of Term 2 St Mary’s Batlow and St Josephs Adelong will host the WR Cross Country at the Batlow Golf Course. We will be calling on all families to lend a hand – either making some cakes and slices or helping man the bbq stall. This is a big event with over 500 visitors (students and parents) expected to attend. All money raised will go to both schools – more information will be distributed at the end of the term – please lend a hand on the day if you can.
Blessings for a great week,
Kirsty Beavan
