Assistant Principal's Message

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

P&F Meeting and AGM - Tonight

All parents are invited to attend the final Parents and Friends (P&F) Meeting for the year this evening at 7.00pm here at the school. This will also be the Annual General Meeting (AGM), where positions are filled for 2023.

Attending this meeting does not require a more substantial commitment on the P&F itself, as all parents are welcome to attend any P&F Meeting.

By attending the P&F Meeting, you are able to hear about, and contribute to, the community building and fundraising plans for 2023.

We hope to see many new faces at our meeting tonight.

School Board 2023

In preparation for next year, I am pleased to confirm that our current School Board will remain in place for the 2023 school year, meaning that we are not calling for nominations. However, we take this opportunity to thank Nicole Mahar for her contributions in 2022 as P&F Rep on the School Board, and for her efforts over recent years on the P&F and as Uniform Shop Coordinator. A new P&F Rep will be appointed to join the School Board in 2023.

The School Board for 2023 is:

Fr Paul Nulley	Molly Henson	Amy Doszpot	Cameron Tarrant	Rebecca Jackson
Si Kayser	James Strachan	Simon Loftus	Alicia Porter	Jane Childs
Tiffany Fletcher
