From the Principal

Dear families,

As the 2024 year draws to a close, I wish to share a few final messages and celebrations.

Year 6 Graduation

Last night, our Year 6 students graduated from St Joseph’s School. This was celebrated with a Mass at Sacred Heart Church, followed by dinner at Jarmer’s Kitchen. It was beautiful to mark the end of a journey in this way and the students did themselves proud with each presenting a heartfelt speech, showing and sharing just how our school has helped to form them as the wonderful young people that they are. In my words to them as they presented for graduation –

You are ready for the journey ahead. You have the tools, the wisdom, and the faith to make a difference in the world. Wherever you go, carry the spirit of "In All Things Love" with you. Be peacemakers. Be compassionate. Be courageous. Be kind.

2025 Staffing

On Monday, the students spent some time in their new class with their 2025 teacher/s. This was an important part of the transition process and I thank you for supporting this process with your encouragement of your children to ‘embrace new things and new opportunities’.

Below, for your information, is a full staff list for 2025.

School Board, AGM and Meet the Teacher Evening - Save the Date

Following our return to school in the new year, families are invited to our annual AGM and Meet the Teacher Evening which is scheduled for Monday 10 February starting at 6pm. Please save the date in your diary. The AGM, where myself, the School Board Chairperson and the P and F Chairperson will share brief reports, is the final meeting of our 2024 School Board. I wish to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing Chairperson, Craig Costello for an outstanding 6 years as a School Board member. I also wish to thank Laura Vrbanac and Romina Cirillo for contributions over their 2-year term. Laura Morris, who completes her term this year, has been renominated and will continue as a valued School Board Member. I also wish to welcome Ben Thompson, Dimitria Stavropoulos and Catherine Tiani who will join the 2025 School Board.

St Vincent de Paul and Moore St Day Centre Christmas Appeals

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our students and families for your incredible generosity and support during this holiday season. Thanks to your kindness, we raised $185 for our St Vincent de Paul Christmas Casual Day, and our Giving Tree is overflowing with generous gifts for the Moore St Day Centre hampers.

Your contributions reflect the true spirit of giving and embody our school motto, "In all things, love." We are grateful for your continued support and for making a difference in the lives of those in need this Christmas.

Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful holiday season!

On this last day of the school term, I wish all our families a very blessed Christmas and a safe and joyful holiday break. I am very much looking forward to our 2025 school year and continuing to work in partnership with you, our families.
