Dear Families and Friends



Welcome back to another year at St Joseph’s School. It is my great pleasure to take up the role of Principal for 2021. I look forward to leading the school this year and ensuring all students are supported to reach their potential. Shaun Joseph has taken up the role of Assistant Principal and it is great to have him as part of the St Joseph’s School family. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all our new students and families to our school; we are so happy to have you as part of our school community.


Miss Gabby

 

Hi everyone and welcome back to St Joseph's for 2021. I'm so excited to be part of the team and look forward to meeting you all as the term progresses. It's been such an exciting start to the year with so many smiling children back at school and having a wonderful learning experience each day. 


I have felt very welcomed by the staff and families that I have met so far and look forward to chatting with you all some time during the year. I have been working in the Kimberley for the past three years and supporting schools in literacy across WA for the past five. As the new Assistant Principal, I'm looking forward to bringing all of my expertise and experience to assist the already fantastic learning that is happening here at St Joseph’s. 


Thank you all for such a warm welcome and have a good week. 


Mr Shaun
