Principals Message

Dear Families

    As we come to the close of Week 3 already- I feel that this is going to be a very fast term despite everything that is going on around us. 

    This week as I spent time with the children and staff and witnessed the many happenings on our current site, I began to feel a real sense of pride and excitement about where we have come from (our journey so far)  and the amazing opportunities that lie ahead:

    • Our wonderful students are learning every day and have been since we opened the temporary site. 
    • Our staff have been preparing and providing high-quality educational content whilst ensuring that well-being, belonging and the importance of relationship are at the forefront.
    • WE ARE GROWING A SCHOOL! The classroom demountables are nearing completion for each of the Stages to have their own space and environment. Our turfed area is nearly ready to run and play on. 
    • We will soon be able to have a hall/library to enjoy and use for assembly,  Masses, and special events.  We have been provided with so many beautiful books and rich texts.
    • The gift of financial support from The Diocese of Lismore Catholic Schools Ltd (DLCSL) Board to help alleviate the burden of fees.
    • The NBN connection and student devices connection to the Catholic Schools Office Server is occurring next week. 
    • YOU, OUR PARENTS HAVE STOOD BY US AND SUPPORTED US THROUGHOUT.

      We continue on in faith and hope for the coming weeks and all that they bring. 

      SCHOOL PHOTOS

      School Photos will be taken on Wednesday 25 May 2022. Photo Envelopes were sent home this week, please return them as soon as possible. Family (sibling) photo envelopes are available from the Office.

        SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION:

        Year C - 5th  Sunday of Easter:  Gospel Reading: John 31-35
        Jesus gives his disciples a new commandment: love one another

        Love_9.PNG

        Jesus didn't just tell us how to love, he showed us. The Gospel this week tells us that before Jesus died, he told his friends to love one another the way he had shown them how to love. He had just washed his disciples' feet at the Last Supper.  When we follow Jesus' example and words, we are his disciples and are able to help make a different, more loving world.

        Sometimes our parents ask - What do Catholics Believe? Earlier this year I shared with you what Catholics believe by focussing on current Catholic Social teachings. Catholic Social Teachings are founded on the messages of Jesus,  the prophets and our church leaders. This week we take a look at  CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING - SOLIDARITY We should commit ourselve wholeheartedly to the good of all, to stand in solidarity with our one human family.
        CST_Solidarity.JPGWe all need each other. We are on big family. It is about working together.

        Everyone belongs to one human family, regardless of their national, religious, ethnic, economic, political and ideological differences. Everyone has an obligation to promote the rights and development of all peoples across communities, nations, and the world, irrespective of national boundaries.

        At St Joseph’s students learn about the ways we are globally connected, they explore Jesus’ commitment to service and justice and investigate leadership lessons from Scripture demonstrating ways of acting justly. Current issues such as climate change and the protection of natural habitats may be discussed from a global perspective. Our students are further supported in their understanding of leadership awareness by our Student Representative Council (SRC) initiatives. We should always try to think about what is good for everyone, not just ourselves. It is about living together in a community.

        For more information and to gain a deeper understanding of the Catholic Social Teaching of SOLIDARITY for you and your family I encourage you to take a look at the following short video.

        Student Discipleship - Incitare 2022

        IMG_9283.JPG

        It was with great pleasure that I accompanied Lorena Swanson, Clancy Newman and  Miles Parkinson to the  Lismore  Diocese  Student  Discipleship  Incitare  Retreat. They enthusiastically participated in faith nurturing activities led by student ministry leaders from Woodlawn College. Our students embraced the opportunities to share their faith, discuss what it means to be courageous, engage in leadership activities, interact with students from nearby Catholic Schools and participate in a beautiful liturgy. It was also wonderful to see Chelsea Campbell and Natasha Wotherspoon past students of our school in their roles as Youth Ministry Officer and student ministry leader.
