Welcome to week 5!  It has been another busy week at St Joseph’s with lot’s of professional development for staff.  Mrs Murray and myself were in Cootamundra yesterday for a Challenging Learning workshop.  Today we have Adjunct Professor Kaye Lowe in the school working with the children on their writing and reading and working with Mrs Murray.  Miss Braun, Mrs Dean and Mrs Baxter are in Cootamundra today for a Challenging Learning workshop that focuses on Philosophy for children, so there is lots of learning happening this week for both staff and students.

Our next community council meeting will be held next Wednesday 20 November, minutes of the previous meeting and the agenda will be emailed out this week.

Just a friendly reminder about the mowing roster.  This is the time of the year when snakes are heading out and about, so if you are rostered on to mow and you are not able to do it, please swop with another family as it would be great to keep the grounds well maintained so we can see any visitors coming!!  A big thank you to Scott Murray, Paul Dean and Mrs Reynolds who have whipper snipped and mowed recently.
