PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Matthew O'Brien, Principal

    Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff, Students and the wider St. Joseph’s Primary School Community,

    Parent Teachers Interviews and Reports

    On Friday 16th June, Semester 1 reports will be released via the Parent Access Module (PAM) accessible from the SZApp and our website. These reports provide families with information about children’s progress socially, academically and behaviorally. The written report will be accompanied by each child’s “Work Sample Folder”. This folder will contain examples of the children’s work across the semester. It may include a range of subjects, assessment pieces, unedited work and published pieces. 

    Following the reports we will be conducting the mid-year Parent Teacher Conversations.  These conversations are designed for two way communication between parents and teachers to further discuss children’s progress. 

    Parent Teacher Conversations can be booked via PAM. Parents are welcome to book a phone call or come into school for a face to face meeting.  Please note that some parents have participated in a PSG in the past few weeks and this meeting will take the place of the Parent Teacher Conversation. 

    Confirmation

    Congratulations to all of the children who celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation last week.  Fr John gave a great analogy in his homily. He made the observation that we cannot see electricity but can see what it does e.g. boil a kettle, turn on a light. The Holy Spirit is similar in that we cannot see it; we can only see what it does.

    Eisteddfod

    Congratulations to all of the children who participated in the Warrnambool Eisteddfod poetry recitals last week. A special mention to Evie Cooper and Aila Kamath who came first in their division and to Francesca Di Cesare and Anna Robson who placed second.

    Andrew Chinn Concert and Workshops

    Andrew Chinn entertained our whole school with his highly energetic and engaging music and dance routines. Throughout the day Andrew met with different groups for workshops where he taught songs and actions or the concert later in the day. The highlight of the concert was the enthusiasm and joy that everyone participated in the singing and dance moves. 

    FYI - Andrew let us know that his music can be found on Spotify if you want a family singalong on your next car trip!

    Regards
    Matthew O'Brien, Principal
