Dear Parents,

Kinder 2026 Enrolments & Tours

Enrolments for our 2026 Kindergarten class are now open! Our Year 6 students have been doing an outstanding job leading school tours, sharing their experiences and showcasing our wonderful school. The feedback from visiting families has been overwhelmingly positive, with many impressed by both the school’s offerings and our students' insights into school life.

Kindergarten Expo Success

Our recent Kinder Expo was a fantastic morning, with many prospective families joining us in the hall to learn about the many programs and opportunities available at our school. Families had the chance to hear from staff and students about key areas such as Early Learning and Successful Foundations, Gifted Education and the Virtual Academy, the Canteen, Library, Office, P&F, Clothing Pool, Garden Club, Learning Support, Aboriginal Education and EALD, OOSH, Student Council, PB4L, Sport, Music and Religious Education.

A huge thank you to our students, staff, and families for their support in making this such a valuable and welcoming event.

P&F Meeting & Family Engagement

Thank you to our P&F and Class Parents for attending this week's meeting. It is always wonderful to have open and collaborative discussions about upcoming events and family engagement within our school community.

We invite all families to join us for our next P&F meeting on Wednesday 14th May (Week 2 of Term 2). This is a great opportunity to contribute ideas, ask questions, and have your say in shaping school initiatives. We value your input and look forward to seeing you there!

Building Works Update

As mentioned in our previous Newsletter, as we move forward with our quadrangle and library redevelopment, there will be some changes affecting students and families:

Safety Fencing – will be constructed in the quadrangle. This was scheduled to occur this coming weekend, however unforeseen delays will mean this may take place over the coming week or at the beginning of the school holiday period.

Access Changes to the Quadrangle – Primary classes (Years 4-6) in the 1936 building will enter the quadrangle via a fenced walkway next to the new mural, leading to the access ramp and quadrangle verandah outside of Year 4.

Year 3 Access – From Week 11, Year 3 classes, Robo Recess, and Culture Club will be accessed via the Admin Building. Across the week, Year 3 will be making a move to their new classroom spaces in the lower section of the Infants Block. 3 Gold will be relocated in the current Learning Support Room, while 3 Blue will be relocated in the current Kinder Gold play space.

Toilet & Play Space Access – Once safety fencing is constructed, students will no longer have access to quadrangle toilets and play space. All students will use the main playground toilets. We will undertake a trial of all students in the main play spaces with a possible shift to staggered breaks in Term 2 should this be required.

Changes to Afternoon Duties

• Kenrick St Walkers & Union St Bus/Bus 14 – Once safety fencing is constructed, students will meet the duty teacher under the COLA before departure from the school.
• All other afternoon pickup routines will remain unchanged at this time.

Playground & Lunch Adjustments

Once safety fencing is constructed;

• Quadrangle teacher duties will be allocated to the main play area.
• Lunch Club (20 mins) – will be held upstairs in the new Learning Support Room.
• New Hall Activities (3 days/week) – We will be offering alternative play options within the hall at lunch and recess breaks including chess, small games, craft, limbo, colouring, and Just Dance.
• Eating Areas Adjusted – Students in Year 4 – 6 will eat their lunches in the main playground space.
• Lining Up Areas – All students will assemble in morning assembly positions before returning to class with their teachers.

OOSH & Library Adjustments

• OOSH Relocation – OOSH will be moving necessary items into the Hall this week. From Week 11, before and after school care will run from the Hall, with Vacation Care operating off-site at Holy Family.
• Library Pack-Up & Relocation – Library borrowing will cease at the end of this week. Lessons will move into classrooms from the beginning of Term 2. Staff will relocate to the OOSH space, with a modified borrowing system beginning in Week 2 of Term 2.

Proposed Construction Timeline

Demolition of the quad COLA, stairs, and parts of the library will occur over the holidays.

Construction is scheduled to begin in early Term 2, with a completion target of Term 3’s end.

We appreciate your patience and support as we navigate these exciting changes. Further updates will be provided in the coming weeks.

Holy Week & Easter Celebrations

As we come to the end of Term 1, we invite families to join us for our Holy Week events next week.

Thank you to all our families for a wonderful first term. Your support, involvement, and partnership in your child’s learning make our school community so special. Wishing you all a safe and happy Easter break, and we look forward to seeing everyone again in Term 2!

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L)

We have had a very successful first term of PB4L at St Joseph’s. Kindergarten students have enjoyed learning about our PB4L framework with explicit PB4L lessons, and we have seen much of their learning exhibited in both the classroom and playground. This term we have had a focus on:

• Act Safely – Using safe hands and feet
• Being Respectful – Including others
• Care for all – Care for the place you are in
• Do Your Best – Learn and let others learn

Our PBL Dash Tokens have continued to be a great way to reward students when they demonstrate positive behaviour. Our current house token count for the final weeks of Term 1 sits at:

House captains will complete the final count for the term at the beginning of next week, with the winning house to be announced then. This sports colour house will then receive their reward by the end of the week. Well done to all, for their efforts with our PB4L this term!

The recipients of this fortnight's PBL Awards are

Frankie T (KG), Daisy T (KB), Audrey R (1B), Sophie D (1G), George B (2B), Lillian D (2G) Zara E (3B), Leo S (3G), Sebastian C (4B), Winston M (4B), Ruby P (5B), Joe D (5G), Hannah S (6B), Juliette S (6G)

Student Representative Council News

The SRC have had a very active Term 1. In their meeting yesterday they reflected on their activity throughout the term and identified their successes. The items that were mentioned were

• Leading the whole school in deepening their understanding and appreciation of Neurodiversity Celebration Week with a presentation at a school assembly.
• New soccer goals being ordered for the large soccer field. Hopefully these will be assembled and ready to go for the new term.
• The anticipation for chicken burgers and hot chocolate being served in the canteen during the cooler months.

The SRC were consulted with to provide ideas of different activities that could be held in the Hall during Terms 2 and 3 while the construction impacts other playground areas. They had some fantastic ideas, and we look forward to student engagement in this area.

Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) 

Early next term students in Year 4 and 2 will complete the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT). 

This test measures students’ reasoning abilities in three areas: verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal. The verbal battery measures how well the student is able to learn and solve problems related to words. The quantitative battery measures a student’s ability to apply numerical concepts. The nonverbal battery assesses skills in using figures and pictures to solve problems. Like any standardised test, the CogAT measures only some of your child’s skills, and the results represent ability on the day the test was given. Therefore, these scores form one point of reference to measure a student’s potential. Test scores should never be used alone to make decisions about services or supports, but they can be helpful when interpreted in conjunction with other information and metrics. In the Maitland – Newcastle Catholic Schools Diocese, CogAT results are used as one of several measures to inform classroom differentiation, supports, enrichments, and extensions. 

If you have questions, please contact Bek Henshaw - Gifted Education Mentor via admin@merewether.catholic.edu.au

Congratulations Evan T - Year 6

Yesterday, Evan proudly represented the Diocese in the Da Vinci Decathlon—a prestigious academic competition that challenges students to think critically, creatively, and collaboratively across ten diverse disciplines, including Engineering, Mathematics, Code Breaking, Art and Poetry, Science, English, Ideation, and more!

Week 10 Learning Update

By the end of this week, you will have received a learning update (via Compass) from your child’s class. This is an opportunity to share the wonderful learning students are actively involved in each day here at St Joseph’s. Providing such information can provoke conversations about how your child is engaging with activities, their strengths or areas they may be finding challenging as well as how particular learning connects with their personal interests and passions. When you have an opportunity, please take the time to sit down with your child, and share going through the Learning Update together.

Holy Week

Holy Week is a time to remember Jesus’ last days and moments. This year Holy Week falls in the middle of the school holidays. As the image above shows, it begins on the Sunday before Good Friday, called Palm Sunday, when Jesus triumphantly enters Jerusalem on a donkey and was greeted by many people praising him. On Holy Thursday, Jesus performs an act of service for his disciples and washes their feet. He also shares a meal with them which is the Last Supper. On Good Friday, Jesus, as the ultimate sacrifice for us, he is sentenced to death and is crucified on the cross. Finally, on Easter Sunday, three days later, we rejoice as Jesus is risen. This is known as Easter Sunday. Students will engage in the following prayer/liturgy/formation experiences in Week 11:

Monday - Palm Sunday

Thursday - Holy Thursday

Friday - Good Friday

So far, we have raised $500 for Project Compassion, supporting students in schools in Samoa. Thank you for your generosity! With one week to go, let’s make a final push to raise even more. Every donation helps provide education and opportunities for those in need. Together, we can make a difference!

Can we reach $750 by the end of the week? Every little bit counts! Students can contribute to their class project compassion box or final donations can be made via QKR.  

Let’s show the power of our community and make a lasting impact!

In Week 11, our teachers will be preparing to plan and teach the Term 2 Religious Education units of work. As part of this, students from Kindergarten to Year 4 will engage with the Pedagogy of Encounter, which encourages deep thinking, questioning, and reflection on their faith and experiences.

We look forward to sharing this meaningful learning journey with our students next term.

Parish Bulletin

https://www.newcastlecatholic.org.au/weekly-bulletins/ 

Leanne Skinner

Religious Education Coordinator 

At St. Joseph's, we've been exploring the fundamental concept of "Practice Makes Permanent" - a thoughtful revision of the familiar saying "practice makes perfect."

Practice can certainly make you better at something, but perfection is not always attainable. The principle of Practice makes permanent reminds us that meaningful learning isn't about mindless repetition, but rather deliberate, focused effort that develops lasting habits and skills that serve our children throughout their lives.

Understanding the Principle

We've all witnessed a child learning to ride a bicycle. Those initial wobbles gradually transform into confident pedalling. Why? Because their brain and body adapt to repeated actions, strengthening the neural pathways controlling balance and coordination. What they practice becomes permanent.

The Science of Learning

Neuroplasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to reorganise and adapt, is the foundation of this principle. When children practice a skill, whether solving math problems or playing an instrument, their brains form and reinforce specific neural connections. These skills then require less thought and effort, reducing the cognitive load. Proper practice doesn't just improve skills temporarily; it physically reshapes the brain for lasting ability.

Supporting the Practice Journey

As teachers and parents working together, we can support children as they approach practice with intention and patience. We understand that growth rarely follows a straight line—setbacks are natural stepping stones toward mastery. Together, we can help children embrace the process, learn from mistakes, and develop persistence.

Quality Matters

Effective practice prioritises quality over quantity. When we collaborate to:

• Encourage focus on specific areas needing improvement
• Help break complex tasks into manageable components
• Support deliberate practice with clear goals; and
• Provide constructive feedback to refine approaches

...our children develop stronger, more permanent skills.

Celebrating Progress Together

When we acknowledge children's efforts and progress, however incremental, we reinforce their motivation and resilience. By celebrating these moments together, we foster a positive relationship with learning and skill development that extends far beyond the classroom.

Seeing It in Action:

This principle applies to countless skills our children are developing:

• Mastering spelling patterns
• Learning multiplication facts
• Tying shoelaces with confidence
• Developing typing proficiency
• Riding a bike independently

By embracing "practice makes permanent" as a school community, we create an environment where children understand that consistent, thoughtful effort creates lasting capabilities. Together, parents and teachers can support our children as they transform dedicated practice into permanent progress, building skills and confidence that will serve them throughout their lives

Looking Ahead - Term 2 Wellbeing Dates & Events

St Joseph’s Biggest Morning Tea

As many of us know, cancer is something that has unfortunately touched the lives of countless families, friends, and loved ones. Whether through personal experiences or the experiences of those we care about, cancer has left a lasting impact on so many of our community members.

This morning tea organised by our wonderful Student Wellbeing Team, is a time for us to come together to acknowledge and celebrate the strength of those who are battling cancer, as well as to remember those we have lost. It is also an opportunity to raise much-needed funds for cancer research, which will go towards supporting those in need and provide them with the resources they desperately need in the hardest of times.

We encourage you to bring your loved ones, enjoy a cup of tea and share some delicious treats. Your involvement will help us raise awareness and show our support for those whose lives have been affected by cancer.

There will be a QR code to scan and donate digitally on the day, or if you would like to get a head start, please scan the QR code below. Every dollar counts.

We are looking forward to seeing you at our Biggest Morning Tea event.

Class Feature

4 Blue, Ms Parish and Mrs Parkes have had a wonderful first term together practising gratitude. Thank you to Seb, Flynn, Aurelia and Alice who took the time to write an article on behalf of 4B to share with our community.

We have a special wall in our classroom that we add our gratitude grabs to. This helps us to reflect on our thoughts and feelings on the day, change our mindsets into a more positive headspace, and start the day with the right attitude. Our class is a really welcoming place where everyone gets a turn, and we all feel like we are seen and have a special role.

“It makes me really happy to see everyone’s thoughts and ideas up on the wall. Sometimes it inspires me to have ideas about how I can be better. When we focus on gratitude it makes me think about all the good things we have and how I can care about things more to make our world a better place.” -Seb C

“I like going up and looking the wall and seeing everyone’s different thoughts and knowing we are all different and special. Some people have really great ideas. I especially like knowing what my friends are grateful for because it helps me to think of ways that I can be kind or help them.” - Flynn M

“It makes me feel good to get the time to write down my thoughts and really think about what I’m grateful for. I find it helpful to get out my thoughts rather than keep it inside. I love how everyone is different in our class, no one judges what we write and it makes me feel like I can be myself.” - Aurelia M

“Gratitude makes me reflect on all the things that we do have at Joey’s and at home. It makes me think about how others maybe don’t have all the things we do and how lucky we are to live in Australia.” - Alice B

Big thank you to 4 Gold who completed a special activity where they were asked ‘What is St Joseph’s most important PBL expectation and why?’ Here are their interesting insights:

Another big congratulations to the Semester 1 and 2 Student Wellbeing Team. We look forward to seeing your impact in the wellbeing space at St Joseph’s. (A number of students not pictured who were away).

The Semester 1 Student Wellbeing Team have commenced rostered playground duties in their SWT vests. Please see an outline of their roles below:

Morning duty – Assist Mrs O'Neill (Pastoral Care Worker) inside the Union St and Farquhar St gates, welcoming in students with a smile, saying good morning to students and families, assisting infants' students to feel confident at morning drop off.

Lunch and Recess duty – Monitor buddy bench (where students go when they have no one to play with), provide peer support as needed, model upstander behaviour and school expectations.

Equipment Monitor – Assist the Sports Captains in returning sports equipment to the black boxes at the end of each break to ensure our belongings are looked after and last.

Second Step SEL Program

All classes across K-6 are currently utilising the Second Step social emotional learning (SEL) program in their classrooms to increase students' school success and decrease problem behaviours. The program promotes social-emotional competence and self-regulation. It teaches skills that strengthen students' ability to learn, have empathy, manage emotions and solve problems. Second Step targets key risk and protective factors linked to a range of problem behaviours. The program aims to impart skills that help schools create a safer, more respectful learning environment, and promote school success for all.

Second Step is based on the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework of social and emotional learning (SEL). Second Step teaches the five core competencies outlined in the CASEL Framework: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making.

A range of topics covers areas such as self-regulation (focusing attention, listening, using self-talk, and being assertive), empathy, emotion management (for both positive and negative or distressing emotions) and problem-solving.

Cross Country

Last Thursday we were blessed with an amazing day to traverse Empire Park and its surrounds for the cross country. Students from Year 2 to 6 enjoyed the beach view as they ran either 2km or 3km under humid conditions, either for enjoyment or in an effort to be selected for the diocesan cross-country team. The top 3 qualifying boys and girls from each age group will compete on the 14th of May at Maitland Park.

We extend our congratulations to Eve C, Christian B, Hugo C, Nash D, Alice K, Zara E, Sebastian C, Bodhi P, Reggie M, Amelia R, Ruby F, Beatrice P, Hugo S, Adrian F, Thomas B, Eve D, Billie, D, Ellie V, Luca O, Riley B, Vincent M, Ava K, Harriet M, Lila K

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to our parent sport committee and volunteers. This day would not have been possible without the help and organisation of Renee Mantle, Anna Graham, Julian Johnson and Karen Childs and all the other amazing parents who gave up their time on the day to be a pace setter, photographer, director of traffic, finish line cheer squad, ice block aficionado or cow bell ringer. You are all super stars!

Diocesan Winter Sport trials

Over the past few weeks, St. Joseph’s talented athletes showcased their skills in various winter sports trials. We are pleased to announce that several of our students have been selected to proceed to the next level, representing our school with excellence and determination.

Billy G, Alex B, Beatrice P and Saphina D demonstrated exceptional talent as they represented St. Joseph’s in the diocesan soccer team. Their performances were amazing, filled with skill and determination. A special congratulations to Billy, Alex and Beatrice for their selection in the Polding team – a testament to their hard work and dedication.

Vincent M and Joseph C left a lasting impression at the Rugby League trials, demonstrating both toughness and skill. Their teamwork and enthusiasm were truly commendable. We extend our congratulations to Vinnie for his selection in the Polding team, where he will proudly represent our region.

We are very proud of our sporting stars and we know that they represented our school with pride and sportsmanship. We look forward to hearing about your successes still to come.

Upcoming Events

Premier's Reading Challenge

At St Joseph’s all students are encouraged to complete the 2025 Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC).

Kinder, Year 1 and Year 2 students have received an information sheet and their logon cards. Years 3,4,5 and 6 have a sheet in their classrooms with their logon and password details. All students have new passwords this year.

Students are encouraged to borrow marked PRC books each week.

Library Borrowing

It is a very exciting time for the library with all the preparations for the renovations happening at the moment.  We have started packing books into boxes and we hope to have this finished next week. As a result of the books being packed away, there will be no library borrowing next week or in the first week of Term 2. Students have been told that the books they borrowed this week are to be kept over the holidays and until Week 2 next term. 

We are looking forward to starting our borrowing from the OOSH room in Week 2.

Get Involved – Volunteer EOI

One of the things that makes our school special is the strong sense of community that brings us together. Our events are a huge part of this—creating moments of joy, connection, and belonging for our kids, our families, and the wider school community.

But these events don’t happen on their own—we need your help! If you can spare a little time, we’d love to hear from you. Please take a moment to fill out this Volunteer EOI Form and let us know how you’d like to be involved this year.

We know life is busy, and another long-term commitment might feel like too much. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to sign up for everything—just one thing makes a difference! Whether it’s booking a venue for the Welcome Cocktail Party, cooking hot dogs at the disco, donating a raffle prize, or lending a hand at the cross country, every bit of support counts.

How to Volunteer

To participate, you’ll need to be a registered volunteer with the Diocese. The process is simple, but it does take a little time for approval, so it’s best to get started early. Here’s what you’ll need:
* A Volunteer Working With Children Check (WWCC) –  may be required. This is free and can be applied for via Service NSW.
* An approved Catholic Diocese of Maitland Newcastle Volunteer Registration.

If you have any questions, please reach out to sjpandf@gmail.com.

Thank you for being part of our school community—we truly couldn’t do it without you!
