St Joseph's Memorial School Newsletter

Dear Parents and Caregivers

This is the final newsletter for the semester and I am struggling with the fact that we are half way through the year already. 

This past week has been action packed, highlighted by an outstanding performance by our students at the SACPSSA Athletics meet. Read more on our Facebook page here.

Dear Parents and Caregivers

The International Year of Indigenous Languages is a United Nations observance this year. The aim is to raise awareness of the endangerment of Indigenous languages across the world.

For our Aboriginal brothers and sisters this consists of 250 different language groups. Each group distinct from each other in their rituals, sacred knowledge and belief systems.

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
