The book week parade was a wonderful display of Book characters, dreaming and colour. The students and staff appreciate the effort parents put in to bringing costumes together. The creative flair and clever thinking came out and the children looked very proud. Most importantly continue to read to, read with and your children, and significantly let your children see you read, to show it is a lifelong activity.

LLL Survey

Last year all schools in Catholic Education South Australia have sent out a parent/caregiver survey to ask for feedback about how they are doing. This feedback is very important in helping us make decisions with the strategic direction of the school. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. We appreciate your feedback and partnership. 

A small school with big achievements!

There is much to celebrate at St Joe’s through the many opportunities and achievements. We are very proud to have both our Netball and Basketball SAPSASA knockout teams win the regional final. The teams will each enter the finals in coming weeks - best of luck!! Also worth recognising, the hard-fought competiton from our Years 5&6 soccer team, making it through their first round of SAPSASA soccer. Congratulations to our STEM MAD Team, receiving a 3^rd place in the Primary Schools section – the youngest group in the comp! 

Thank you to our ESOs

Lastly - we were pleased to celebrate and recognise our wonderful ESOs as part of ESO Week last week, with a coffee and morning tea. I'm sure you will all echo my gratitude for the wonderful contribution our ESOs make to your children and our school community. Their flexibility to adapt to needs, step in when needed - with a smile - is greatly appreciated.

Have a great week everyone.
