    ACTION!

    Congratulations to all of our wonderful cast, performers, teachers and most importantly, artistic director Tiffany Fletcher. With one performance to go tonight, St Joseph's presentation of The Wizard of Oz has been a brilliant way to celebrate as a school community. 

    Thank you to everyone involved, and to the parents, grandparents and friends who have joined us in person and via the live-streams. I know that you have all enjoyed the show!

    Staffing

    Even as we head into the final week of 2021, staffing for the new school year continues to evolve. Yesterday I announced to staff that after 7 years at St Joseph's, Zoe Cawdron is taking on a new challenge, accepting a teaching position at St Vincent's from the start of 2022. Zoe has continued to grow as a teacher during her time at St Joseph's and will be missed. We also farewell Shakira Beale, who this year has given the students a real love of learning during her Italian lessons. Shakira also has a passion for teaching art, and has secured a position as an Art teacher at Radford. We wish all  those staff leaving at the end of 2021, every success.

    At the same time, we welcome Joanne Reed to St Joseph's. Jo is currently at St John Vianney's, Warramanga and brings with her a great deal of experience. 

    Below is the Staffing List for 2022. We currently have a couple of positions to fill, which will occur over the coming weeks. Students will find out their class teacher for 2022 next Wednesday, before spending the afternoon with their new class mates and teacher on Thursday.

    Have a great end to the week.

    Yours in Christ,
