Reconciliation Week Photos

Reconciliation Week is an important week in Australia's calendar.  It is a week to stop to endeavour and ensure that we continue to strive for unity in our country. 

The West Coast community held an event that our First Nations students attended with Mrs Austbo and Mrs McLeod.  

We held our celebrations for Reconciliation Week on Tuesday 28th May.  

Seesaw feedback

As a system we are committed to providing frequent feedback to families.  Seesaw is the platform that allows us to do this.  We are seeking feedback on how we are going with this?  Currently, we have committed to regularly providing parents feedback in a number of learning domains on a termly basis as well as providing parents with snapshots of learning.  We are wondering how we are going with that and if this information is providing parents with what they want.  Please spend a couple of minutes completing this survey so we can work towards what our parents need from us.

Chess Tournament 

We are hoping to take a school group to Strahan on Friday 21st June to participate in a Chess Tournament.  If you would like your child to be involved please let the office know.  We will be taking the first 8 students who indicate their interest.  If your child is enrolled in Children’s University this is a way to add some hours to their passports that can go towards graduations in November.

Good decision board

At St Joseph's we strive to continually develop a variety of strategies that are used across the school in the building of positive relationships.  This term some classes will be trialling and using good decision boards in classrooms.

Good Decision Boards (Prep - 6):

All classes (P-6) have smaller whiteboards in the classrooms with the names of each student

Each day all students begin under the heading READY TO LEARN

If students make good choices with behaviour they can move to GOOD DECISION and OUTSTANDING.

If students are making poor choices they can move their name to THINK CAREFULLY and CONSEQUENCE.

If a child gets to CONSEQUENCE they will be sent to Mrs McLeod or Mr Jones, and the parent will be communicated with.

If a child gets to OUTSTANDING they can receive an award and/or the parent might be informed and they may be sent to Mrs McLeod or Mr Jones.

Each Day the board is reset indicating the new opportunity we have each day.

Our student leaders are organising a food drive for St VIncent De Paul Charity.  With the rising cost of living many families are finding providing nutritious food items challenging.  If you are able to assist, please bring an item of non perishable food to add to our donations.
