Dear Families
CONGRATULATIONS MISS TAYLOR ( MRS DENISON)
It is with much pleasure and excitement that I announce the appointment of Miss Sophie Taylor (Mrs Denison) to the role of Assistant Principal at St Joseph's Woodburn commencing in 2022. Sophie has been working in an acting position this year and doing an amazing job in every facet of leadership and teaching and learning. We feel truly blessed to have her. CONGRATULATIONS MISS TAYLOR!
JUNIOR JOEYS CONTINUES....
Our Junior Joeys 2021 Program continues for the next 2 Wednesdays. It is wonderful to continue to get to know the 2022 Kindergarten children. This week they learned a little bit more about the school they will begin attending next year. Along the way, whilst following in the footsteps of the book 'Where is the Green Sheep?' (Mem Fox), they met and chatted to Gayl, the Office Manager, Mrs Walsh, the Counsellor, Mrs Chapman, the Student Support Officer and Ms Wilkins the Principal. We look forward to getting to know them even more over the coming weeks.
BOOK FAIR
We started the Book Fair last Tuesday, with tremendous excitement, and the childrens' initial Wish List visit. That excitement has continued every day since with many children visiting and revisiting the Fair in the Library. A big thank you to our parents, for your support of the Book Fair. The Fair will continue until next Wednesday.
All families will be sent an email with a link showing the books that we have available at the Book Fair with their prices. The students took home a wishlist with an online payment option on the back. They can also bring cash into the school or you can pay via credit card over the phone. Please contact the school if you have any questions. Thank you for your flexibility.
BOOK PARADE
We celebrated one of our best Book Character Parades ever today. It was amazing to see the efforts the children (their parents) had gone to represent their favourite book characters. Sadly we were unable to invite our parents this time but we have plenty of photos to share with you. We'll do it all again next year, hopefully with our parents here to join in the fun. Thank you for all that you did to make it a special day!
ACCEPTABLE STUDENT HAIRSTYLES
COVID 19
At this stage, we continue on Level 3 restrictions. Under these restrictions, the wearing of masks is recommended for primary students. Unfortunately, under Level 3 restrictions, parents are still unable to be onsite. The canteen will be open on Monday and Wednesday if we have volunteers. The last information received was that Level 3 restrictions in schools will continue until 1 December. We will let you know if this changes sooner.
I ask you to keep in your thoughts and prayers those who may be unwell at this time and all involved in responding to the COVID-19 situation. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we navigate this evolving situation.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

- Our Book Fair
- The Book Character Parade
