The weather is warming up and its great to see students being Sunsmart.  If students do not have their hat at school they will be asked to play in the shade.  Applying sunscreen before school would also be a great idea and something we would encourage.  Please make sure that all of your children’s uniforms are clearly labelled – there are lots of items not labelled in the lost property box!

Currently Year five students are starting their leadership journey.  Over the next couple of weeks Mrs Clay and myself are working with Year five to identify what makes a good leader and to recognise the leadership qualities that they possess which will contribute to our St Joseph’s school community. It was fantastic that the students listed many of our ways of being as leadership qualities – being respectful, kind and responsible.

We congratulate Mrs Walsh, Luke and Millie on the news that their little family will be expanding in 2025. We have loved having Mrs Walsh on staff for 2024 and we will take the opportunity later in the year to thank her formally for the amazing contribution she has made to St Joseph’s especially with Kindergarten this year.  Multiple positions have been advertised for 2025 to join our teaching team.

Blessings for a great week,

Kirsty Beavan
