NAPLAN went well across Week 8 and 9 as students in Year 3,5,7 and 9 actively engaged in the four tests that formed part of the annual national testing. I congratulate all the students for putting their best foot forward, and I thank the staff, particularly Hayley Pfeiffer, for running a seamless test period.

As we draw close to yet another term here at St Joseph’s I thank the students, families and staff for their resilience and perseverance. As always, the students have engaged well in their learning and most should be proud of their results and achievements across Term 1. Interim reports will be sent out to parents via the Parent portal towards the end of Week 10 Term 1.

Secondary Parent Teacher Consultations will be scheduled for early next term. This will allow time for interim reports to be sent home to families. Further information in relation to bookings times for consultations with teachers will be sent out early in Term 2. In the interim, if you have any questions relating to the progress of your child in any area of their learning, please do not hesitate to contact us or any of the teaching staff to discuss.

Finally, best wishes to the 36 students and 6 staff who will venture overseas as part of our first ever International Study tour. Excitement is building and we look forward to updating the school community on our travels. A huge thank you to tour coordinator Mary Roberts, who has led the development of this tour.
