P&F Meeting

The P&F team have had a great start to 2025. There’s lots of new faces on the team, plenty of energy and so much happening to look forward to. 

We’d love to welcome as many parents and families as possible to our next meeting on Wednesday 2 April from 6.00-7.00pm in the staff cafe.

Find out about the planned capital works and how the P&F is supporting this exciting project, have your say on the future of our Parents and Friends Association and find out how you can get involved! 

There’s also a cheese platter to enjoy.

Easter Raffle

The P&F are EGG-excited to host the annual St Joseph’s Easter Raffle.

Each classroom will have a basket for collection of donated easter eggs, please ensure your children take them to the classroom when they bring them in (and not to the playground for a second delicious breakfast!).

Tickets are available via QKR only. Ticket sales close at midnight on Tuesday 8 April.

Funds raised will be used to support other events planned for 2025.

Thank you to anyone who has expressed an interest in helping out with this event. If you are yet to let us know what you’re available to help with this year, please take some time read the information below.

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!
