PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Matthew O'Brien, Principal
Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff, Students and the wider St. Joseph’s Primary School Community,
Our student leaders will be laying wreaths at the Dawn Service and the 10:30 am march and service. Our school will celebrate ANZAC Day together at our assembly on Friday which will be led by the children of Room F4.
Welcome Back
I want to welcome everyone back to school for another exciting term filled with opportunities learn and grow academically, socially and emotionally. I encourage everyone to embrace all opportunities to learn, to ask questions, and to explore the world Remember that education is a journey, and the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. Enjoy Term 2.
Building Works
We took the opportunity to get some works done while the school was child-free over the holidays.
The undercover area outside B8 and B7 has been covered in a soft rubberized material to make this space more conducive to learning and playing.
The bag hook area outside D1 is being converted into a “sensory room”. This space is designed as a “chill out” space for all students but with a particular focus on those with sensory and emotional needs.The Wet area in F4 has been covered with marine grade carpet to avoid slips and the deck outside the F rooms has also been treated with a non-slip surface coating.
The tennis courts have had two gates cut into the school side of courts 4-6 and 7-9 which will allow for children to use these at playtimes.
The sign that faces Aquazone has been upgraded and the Perspex replaced.
Thanks to Cathy and Andrew for coordinating all of the tradies to be available during the holidays.
Congratulations
