PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Matthew O'Brien, Principal
Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff, Students and the wider St. Joseph’s Primary School Community,
Project Compassion - Lent
School Arrival and Before School Care
Many children are arriving at school well before 8:30 am when our school gates open. Some of these children are being dropped off in the loop and others are making their way into the school grounds via the Russells Creek path. Please ensure that your child does not arrive before 8:30 am so that we can be confident that everyone is safe and supervised.
Child safety when walking home
We have had a report of a student from a neighbouring school being approached by a man on Ardlie Street near Willow Way. Please be aware and speak with your child about the importance of safety when walking to and from school. Such as considering walking with a friend or if they see someone ahead on the path and feel uncomfortable, consider crossing the road if it is safe to do so. Please contact police if your child is inappropriately approached by a member of the community when walking to and from school.
