Principal's Message

Welcome Back!

We're excited to embark on another year of learning, growth, and community engagement at St Joseph's Regional College. We commenced the year with a whole school assembly where the leadership team spoke to students about College expectations and what that means, some of which will be shared in this week's newsletter.

New Beginnings

It's been a wonderful and busy few days as we welcome our newest students and their families to our College community. Your presence enriches our school, and we look forward to the journey ahead together. Additionally, a warm welcome back to our returning students, who looked very smart in their white formal uniforms. This week marks the beginning of a new chapter in the education journey of our new Year 7 students. I am confident that they will all have a positive experience at St Joseph’s Regional College. I encourage them to involve themselves in every opportunity that arises, remain open to making new friendships and embrace the gospel values that we place at the centre of all we do.

Appreciation

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the St Joseph's Regional College staff for their dedication and efforts in ensuring a smooth and welcoming transition for our students and families. Your commitment to our community is truly commendable.

I also would like to thank our fantastic maintenance team, who have worked tirelessly over the summer break to have our College looking its very best for our return.

I would also like to acknowledge and thank key staff members for their organisation of the St Agnes' Parish staff Mass that St Joseph's Regional College hosted last Friday. Thank you to Mr Matthew Bushe, who was instrumental in the organisation. To musicians Nerida Hornery, Emily Young, Sarah Butler, Fiona Jensen and Michelle Redman, as always, your skills are amazing. And lastly, to the setup team - John Sprague and the maintenance team, Wendy Welsh, Shane Hyland and Kathryn Gill.

Devices

As we gear up for the start of normal timetabled lessons next week, I encourage students facing technology difficulties to log a help desk ticket promptly. This can be done via Compass. Help Desk tickets will be handled promptly by our It department.

Stay Connected

Remember, our College newsletter is published fortnightly on even weeks during the term (Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10). On odd weeks, you can find a shorter version published as "SJRC News in Brief," along with a link to the College Calendar and upcoming events.
