Welcome Mrs Clarke As you know Mrs Cooper, will be commencing Maternity Leave at the end of this term. I am delighted to inform you that Mrs Paula Clarke will take over from Mrs Cooper in Year Three, commencing in Term 4. Mrs Clarke has been working at St Joseph’s in a casual capacity. We welcome Mrs Clarke to our school family.
Home Learning Continues As you may know, we have been advised that Home Learning will continue for two more weeks. We thank you in advance for supporting your child’s learning at home. Students in ALL year levels are expected to submit two key learning tasks for feedback each day. Please ensure that your child checks this feedback, as it may require them to edit or redo part of their task.
If any student does not submit their two daily essential tasks for two consecutive days, St Joseph’s staff will contact you to see if there is any way they may assist.

Students are NOT permitted to create zoom meetings or google docs to converse with other students. Students in breach of responsible use of technology are required to return their device to school.
