Book Week Book Character Parade

Thank you - The Cambridge

Our new computer lab was made possible by the generous donation from The Cambridge hotel. At the conclusion of our St Patricks Quiz Night The Cambridge very generously donated the computers, which have now been set up for our students to create PowerPoint presentations, practice their typing, carry out word processing and much more. 

 ~ Thank you to the Cambridge for their amazing contribution to our school ~

Canteen Volunteers

We are looking for parent helpers to assist Hellen in the Canteen. Even if you have just an hour to spare, it would be very welcome. Please drop by the office and we'll take you over to meet Hellen.



(You won't need a Working With Children Check if your child is enrolled at St Joseph's)

Send Your Kids to School

Send your kids to school - it is the best possible way they can get a good education.

If your child misses one 1 day per week of school,

by the time they are in Yr 4 they will have missed 1 whole year of school.

Already they will by 1 year behind expected learning!

It may take some tough love, but it is worth the effort to make your child go to school every day.

Set a good routine from Kindy, don't let them miss a day.

It will give them the best start in life.

Thank you to those generous families who have donated their recycling money to our school through Containers for Change!

School Recycling Bags

CHECK FOR THE 10¢ MARK

We've ended up with a lot of non-recyclable containers in our school recycling bags.

Which means we have to sort through the bags to remove them.

It's easy to save your 10¢ containers from landfill so they can live another life — just check for the 10¢ mark!

Most aluminium, glass, plastic, steel, and liquid paperboard drink containers that are 150ml to 3L are accepted.

This includes:

• Most single-serve water and fizzy drink containers up to and including 3L.
• Most single-serve alcohol containers, like beer bottles and pre-mixed spirits.
• Flavoured milk containers that are 150ml to 999ml.
• Coconut water, pure fruit, or vegetable juice containers that are 150ml to 999ml.

~ Make sure you take off the lids ~

~ Bring the lids into the school office and we'll recycle them separately ~

Items that we don't accept include:

• Glass bottles or jars of any sort - too many get broken when dropped into the recycling bag
• Plastic milk bottles
• Unflavoured, plain milk cartons
• Cordial bottles
• Non-food plastic containers (eg laundry detergent)
• Steel food cans

School Bus Pick-ups and Drop-offs

For the safety of our children, we would like to remind parents that children catching our white Coaster school bus will be dropped off in the afternoon ONLY at the address from which they are picked up in the morning.

Attempts to accommodate parents who ring during the day asking that their children be dropped off elsewhere have resulted in an number of confusing situations, whereby children have ended up going home to an empty house or to a house where they are not expected.

Children who live in Lakeside or out of town may not catch our bus home to a different address.

Your child can only be dropped off at a different address if it is an emergency situation (eg you have an emergency visit to the hospital and an arrangement has been made for your child to be cared for by another family member or friend).

Many thanks for your cooperation.
