Welcome to the 2025 school year and first newsletter of the year. I trust all families had a safe and relaxing break.

We have had a very calm and settled start to the year. Our new Kindergarten students have made a great start and are settling in really well. We trust their time at St. Joseph's will be one of wonderful learning, friendship and support. Successful Foundations for learning, with a focus on building academic success and wellbeing, will be a part of the first five weeks of Kindergarten. Please see some more information on Successful Foundations included below in the newsletter. We also welcome Dakota and Indianna to 4/5/6 and 2/3. 

Communication 

• Your children’s teachers are the first people you should contact with any concerns about your child or other students. Teachers are very approachable and would like to hear of issues as soon as possible so they can be resolved. 
• If at any time you feel unsatisfied with the result of a conversation or the follow-up from a conversation please contact me! There is nothing too small when it comes to our students and parents. 
• I am very happy to meet with parents on confidential matters or matters they do not wish to talk about to anyone else. My door is always open for these discussions which can be slotted in if they are of an urgent nature. 

Together we can ensure a wonderful, safe and successful learning environment and achievements for our students!

Peace &Best Wishes
