Dear Parents
As we reach the end of another Term, we wish to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to you all — dedicated teachers, staff, students, and parents — for your unwavering support, hard work, and commitment to making St Joseph's School an exceptional place of learning.
To our incredible teachers and staff, thank you for your tireless dedication to education. You have gone above and beyond, adapting to new challenges and ensuring that our students continue to receive a quality education. Your passion and resilience have been an inspiration to us all.
To our students, you have shown incredible resilience and adaptability this Term. Your thirst for knowledge and your ability to adapt to changing circumstances have been nothing short of impressive. We are proud of your accomplishments and your commitment to your studies.
To our parents and guardians, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. Your partnership with us in the education of your children has been invaluable. Your involvement in their learning journey has made a significant difference.
To our entire school community, your collective efforts have created an environment where students can thrive, learn, and grow. Together, we have faced challenges and celebrated achievements, and it is this sense of unity and shared purpose that makes St Joseph's School so special.
As we look forward to the well-deserved break ahead, we reflect on the Term.

Tuesday 10 October - First Day of Term 4
Dr Lyn Sharratt Visits
St Joseph's School, Wauchope
Lyn is a Professor, best selling author and hands on facilitator of educational change and improvement. For the past four years, Lyn has been guiding our professional learning through her work with our school leaders and teachers. A few weeks ago, Lyn and the other visitors were able to see our hard work in practice through our staff, classrooms and, most importantly, the students.
Lyn travelled from her home-town of Ontario, Canada across Australia to visit the schools she mentors. On visiting St Joseph's Wauchope, Lyn commented that it was 'the highlight of her week' and was very impressed with what she saw and heard. As a school, we received praise and congratulations for the work we are doing across all areas of learning.
We could not be more proud of the staff and students of our school and it was great to receive acknowledgement and appreciation for all the hard work.
