MERRY CHRISTMAS!
This year has been quite an unusual journey, but the resilience, understanding and trust shown to us by the families at our school has been truly amazing. We are very sad to say goodbye to our teachers, Sarah and Tom Reiman and Cindy Wells at the end of next week. Their dedication and hard work is inspirational and we are very grateful for everything they have done to make a difference in the lives of the students and families at our school. We are also very sad to say goodbye to some of the families who are leaving St Joseph’s, either as year 6 parents or those moving to another town. Thank you for the support you have shown the school and thank you for entrusting your children into our care. We are very grateful. Enjoy the holidays and a well-deserved rest after such a busy and stressful year. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas filled with peace and joy.

RANGE CELEBRATION ENDOWMENT FUND
The giant outdoor games recently purchased through the generosity of the Range Celebration Endowment Fund, are slowly being introduced to the students at lunch times. Noughts and Crosses, Chess and Connect 4 were very popular with the students and gave them the opportunity to have fun and practise their social skills.
