Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back to Term 2! I trust that you all enjoyed the break from the busy school routine, but have also valued getting back to normal this week. The students have returned posititively and are already engaging in new learning and setting challenges for the term ahead.

This week we welcomed Deki N and Kinley N, Isabella H, Mirabel P and Gharub N and their families to the St Joseph's community. All the students were very excited to have new members of their classes to make feel welcome.

Today marks the first time the newsletter is being prepared and shared via the Schoolzine platform and app - SZApp. Thank you to those who have been able to download the app and hopefully now, are enjoying the new format. As with anything new, there will be a period of getting to know the layout and how best to maximise the potential. In the coming weeks, we welcome any feedback or ideas to further improve on this important form of communication.

Earlier this week we come together to celebrate as a faith community, the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. The fulfillment of His promise, gives us hope as faithful people that through this example of love and service to others, that we too can be Christ-like to those around us. 

Today we commemorated ANZAC day as a community, led for the first time by Mrs Sally Adams, our Defence Support Mentor, as well as the defence students within our school. Thank you to all those who were able to attend our events this week.

On Friday we have a working bee to tidy up the school gardens and to prepare for the enrolment period in the coming weeks. 

Next week is a busy week, with 4 Blue leading the Class Assembly on Monday afternoon at 2.15pm in the Hall. On Thursday we are celebrating Mothers' Day with a breakfast followed by a Prayer Celebration at 9.15am. On Friday we have the Athletics Carnival at Merici, from 9.30am to 2.15pm. All members of the school community are invited to these events.
