Principal Appreciation Day

On Friday we celebrated a very special occasion that was dedicated to honouring and showing our heartfelt appreciation for the captain of our ship, Ms McGinlay.

Karen is a leader, mentor, and friend to all in our school community. Her dedication to cultivating a positive and inclusive learning environment, her unwavering support for students, staff and families, and her high standards and commitment to excellence makes St Joseph’s a wonderful place to be and learn.

Karen’s vision, leadership, and compassion have made a lasting impact on our school, and we are grateful for all she does. Principal Appreciation Day was a beautiful reminder of the love and respect we all have for our fearless leader.

International Day of Friendship

Tuesday 30th July was International Day of Friendship where each grade celebrated in their own unique ways in their classrooms with their teachers. For our littlest students in the school, the day was an extra special event that saw them celebrate the deep connections and friendships they have been able to form with each other in just 100 days!
