We have reached the end of Term 3 with a sigh of relief that we have enjoyed an uninterrupted time of learning, compared of course to Terms 1 and 2.  I would like to thank the teachers, school officers and students for their commitment to the learning process this term.  Much has been achieved through hard work, patience, persistence and fun.  I would also like to thank all families for their support in recent months.  When I talk to new families about what it means to be part of St Joseph's, I talk about what a special community it is.  This is demonstrated not just in the support of academic progress but in every sense of belonging to our school.  

You may have noticed that we have had some renovation work taking place this term in what was the learning support area.  As of next term, the students will again have access to this area as the work has been completed.  Mrs Cathy Mills will also be relocating her office to this area.  We thank everyone for their patience whilst this work was being completed.  It took longer than expected but we now have a more modern and purposeful space for the students to use.

Finally, on behalf of the staff who work with the Primary students, I wish all our families a safe and restful holiday.
