Principal’s Report
Dear parents and carers,
WELCOME BACK!
It has been fantastic to see all the smiling faces return to
school this week. The holidays are such a fun and relaxing
time so it can be hard to get back into the swing of things
(especially in this weather!), but we are very impressed by
how positive all our classes have been so far this week. We
love hearing the stories of holidays, day trips, visits from
family and friends and all the other exciting things our
students get up to in the holidays, and it seems there were
definitely some memorable moments over the last two
weeks.
For the first 6 weeks of this term Jane Addison will be on
leave and I will be doing my best to 'hold the fort'. Miss
Megan Callow has been employed to cover for Jane's absence
and will share the teaching duties on Year 5/6 for the next 6
weeks. This will free me up to be in the office from 12:00
each day and will enable me to do any administration work
that is needed. It will also give me the time to chat to parents
and catch up with what is happening in the other classrooms.
So feel free to drop in and say hi, or if you would like to talk
about something more specific please remember my door is
always open.
Later this term our Year 5/6 students will be off to Canberra
for their 2016 excursion. Due to the availability of times and
venues the dates needed to be changed, so please ensure
you have the updated dates if this applies to you. The
excursion will be on the 14th and 15th of September (Week
9). If you would like to chat about this further just send me an
email or give me a call.
On behalf of the staff of St. Joseph's I'd like to wish Peter
Chitts and his family the best of luck as Peter prepares to
have surgery in the next few days. Peter is a valued member
of our staff and we are all hoping for a quick and easy
recovery. Our thoughts are with you, Peter. Our thoughts
continue to be with Nikki and the Duck family as well. It is
fantastic to hear that Nikki is now home and can continue her
treatment more comfortably (albeit with a bit more travel!).
Keep on swimming, Nik.
Over the past two or three school weeks it has become very
apparent how caring our school community is. From parents
offering kind words and support to our teachers, to our
community banding together to support a family in need. It
makes you realise how lucky we really are. Thank you to all
those parents and families who continue to be a source of
positivity and kindness within our school. We truly appreciate
it.
I hope you all enjoy the first week back at school and the
normality it brings to your home, and I look forward to
chatting to you all at some point in the coming weeks
Take care.

Missing uniforms
Term 2 ended with a handful of children missing items of
their school uniforms with their names on them. Can we all
please ensure we check our children’s clothing & if it does not
belong to them please return them to school? Can we all
ensure that all items of clothing be marked with your child’s
name as there are a couple of jackets in the office without
names. This will also make it easier to return to the students
who own them.
Cadbury Chocolate Fundraiser
Dear Parents and Carers,
There are still monies outstanding for chocolates that were
due at the end of Term 3. Please send into the office a.s.a.p.
so the P&F can finalise this wonderful fundraiser. Many
thanks to everyone that enjoyed the chocolates!
Kind Regards
Katrina Halliburton
Q: Why did the picture go to jail?
