Principal's Message
Dear Parents, Carers and the St Joseph's Community,
Welcome back to Term 2. What a remarkable lead up to the new term and an even more impressive start today. Over recent weeks there has been so much communicated by the school and from Catholic Education, as well as all the media commentary, but the truth of it all has been about the students' learning. Today we 'flicked the switch' on our remote learning program and, while we will continue to solve some of the challenges, it has been a very positive day. Thank you to all the students for how they have engaged in the learning that has been shared today. I have seen lots of responses to questions and also completed work uploaded during the day - I have been added to every class, so get an alert almost everytime something is posted!
Well done to all of our new 'classroom support assistants', or as we like to call them, the parents, who have been there to support their children today and over the past few weeks. We know that it is challenging to get your heads around all of this, while at the same time managing work and home life. Thank you.
Lastly, well done teachers! No shortage of planning went into preparing for today, but it is always nice to have things go well and for us to remain committed to what we do best - teach the students.
In regards to maintaining communication between school and home, I again encourage all parents to download and set alerts for SZapp. This is the main way whole-school information is shared, particulary at this time. All necessary information in relation to the remote learning program and what is happening within the school, is available on the Feed within SZapp.
Have a good end to the week and contact me if you have any questions.

Yours in Christ,
Cameron Tarrant
