St Joseph's Memorial School Newsletter

Dear SJMS Community

Welcome back after what I hope was peaceful holiday that allowed you to spend quality time with your family and loved ones.

During my visits around classes this week I have seen the students busily preparing for Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day - one and all!

The day is devoted to all mothers, for their selfless love and the pains and hardships they have taken to make life better for their children. At SJMS we focus on the day to allow children to realise the importance of a mother and the contributions they make in their lives and hence, a day like this provides an opportunity to thank mum or a special person for all that they have done. I look forward to this Friday’s Mother’s Day Celebrations.

Special Welcome to New Students

I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new students and their families to St Joseph’s Memorial. May you experience much happiness and success throughout your learning journey at St Joseph’s Memorial; Henry Year 4, Yuvraj Year 3, and Manning in Reception.

Dear Parents and Caregivers

Alleluia, He Is Risen!

Easter Sunday is the high point of the Church’s calendar and the pinnacle of Christian celebrations. During the holidays we celebrated Easter. All over the world, Christians boldly declared their faith: Jesus, the crucified one was no longer dead. Jesus is alive! He lives in glory with God and has breathed his Spirit of life into us. Because of Easter we need never be afraid. God’s love is stronger than death.

May Jesus, the Risen Lord, fill our hearts with love, joy and peace.

Walkathon – Friday 24 May

On Friday 24 May, we will have a whole school walkathon to raise money for Brain Cancer Awareness and Research. Further details will be available next week.

Dear SJMS Community

It's all about Mother's Day as term 2 kicks off. We had our Mother's Day stalls today which were a huge success. Thanks to the volunteers who helped with the stall and of course Tanya McCabe and Alison Pascoe for organising all the wonderful items for sale. It's a great little stall and the children love being able to buy something special to give to their loved ones.

Don't forget to RSVP to the Mother's Day morning tea on Friday 10 May. We also have a flower stall, yummy morning tea and a raffle, don't miss out! We are also looking for some small glass jars for our flower stall, if you have any baby food/mustard sized jars you can donate please drop them at the front office by Thursday morning 9 May.

Catholic Police Checks are free to submit for volunteers!

Application Forms are available from either school office.

Please note - there are many times throughout the school year where visitors are required to have a current Catholic Police Check (parents/caregivers attending excursions, reading in class, helping in class, attending community events).

This process ensures we maintain a child safe environment. To avoid disappointment, we encourage you to apply for a Catholic Police Check through either school office.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at either office.

Thanking you
