Dear Parents, Carers and the St Joseph’s Community,

The first P&F meeting for Term 3 occurred last week and it was great to be together at the school for the first time in almost a year! Did you know anyone can come along to these meetings? If you are interested in hearing what’s coming up, you have feedback or you’re just interested in learning more about the role of the P&F then feel free to drop in to the next meeting in week 6.

At the meeting, we discussed some key items that are dear to all members of the P&F. The first of which is organising some events for the school community. While we were hopeful to have a parents event this term, the current COVID situation is making this a little difficult to plan. Hopefully, towards the end of the year, things will settle more and we can get this underway. In the meantime, we’ve decided to focus on getting something happening for the kids! Great news to share with your little Joey’s, we have another Nacho Day happening on Tuesday 24 August. These days are run by mum, P&F member and full-time worker (and general super friendly lady) Nichole Hanlon. But she can’t do it alone! If you have an hour to spare on the 24^th please follow this link to volunteer to help Nichole and support treating our kids to a special lunch.

The other event we have scheduled is the ever-popular disco. Mark it in your diary – Friday of Week 9! We’re hoping to get something special happening for the kids on this date, so if you’re keen to get involved either contact President Kate at boroniadrive@gmail.com, or come along to our meeting in Week 6 (via zoom).

Finally have you ever wondered what P&F fundraising supports? Next time you’re in the school hall check out the new chairs! The P&F along with Camp Australia provided funds to help Cameron and the team purchase these ahead of the school musical.

A big thanks to all our members, our volunteers and of course our dedicated teachers for all their work over the first half of the year. We look forward to bringing our community together for some events soon!
