Little Joeys Merewether Play and Stay
We are very pleased to share that starting in Term 3, we will be launching an exciting new initiative called Little Joeys Merewether Play and Stay. This program will invite all 3, 4 and 5-year-old children and their families to come into our school, giving prospective families a first-hand look at the caring, dynamic and supportive learning environment we provide at St Josephs.
This initiative is a key part of our efforts to strengthen connections with local families, build community engagement, and showcase the wonderful culture and learning environment we have at our school. We are aiming to foster early relationships with future students and promote a sense of belonging even before formal enrolment begins.

Wellbeing Week
What a wonderful Wellbeing Week we’ve just had at school! Each day was filled with fun, relaxing and enriching Recess time activities that gave our students a chance to connect, relax, and simply enjoy.
It was beautiful to watch the children arrive each morning, eager and full of energy, ready to embrace the day with joy and positivity. Seeing them laugh, play, and support one another reminded us of all of the importance of taking time to nurture both our bodies and minds.

Semester One Student Wellbeing Team
As we wrap up the first half of the year, we would like to take a moment to recognise and thank our incredible Semester 1 Student Wellbeing Team for their outstanding work throughout Terms 1 and 2.
The team has played a vital role in advocating for student voice, fostering a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all students. Their dedication to the team has been evident in every conversation, program, and initiative they’ve led. From daily support to broader wellbeing initiatives, their efforts have helped build a stronger and more connected school community.
