Our first Parents and Friends meeting for the year was on Tuesday, which included our AGM. We gave a HUGE Thank you to Michelle Watkins and Sam Norris for all of their support, dedication and time as Co-Presidents of the P&F over the years.

There were many regular and new faces in the group as we welcomed our new Co-Presidents Sascha Dickson and Gail Zalevski and Ann O’Neill, for her continued support as Secretary.

Tony Paatsch informed us of the building developments beginning at the end of the year, future class structure innovations and how settled the students have been across all year levels to the start of their year.

Keep an eye out on the socials and in the next newsletter for our first College social event, Wine & Cheese night in the staffroom on March 24. Great night to catch up with friends, meet new families and a perfect way to end the week.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday 14 March, our Bring A Friend Night. This is not just for current members and their friends, but for our whole Joeys community to come along for refreshments, meet our committee members and hear from our College Principal. It is a great social night to come along to and see firsthand what the P&F is all about.

We invite you to be part of the St Joseph’s Community. Whether it is with our Parents & Friends, canteen, Men’s Associations or one of the many other groups, your involvement is an important part of our College and supporting our community. Please reach out to any of the staff on the Parent Participation information page and they will be more than happy to answer any questions.

We look forward to seeing you around the College.
