Monday After School Study and Homework Sessions  

All students have been informed that we have reintroduced 'Mundy' for all students in the school to support their learning. As of Monday, 6 February, the School Library will be open every Monday afternoon from 3:30- 5:00 pm for students to study and complete homework and assignments. This is a supervised session and teachers will be present to help with research and give support with literacy and numeracy. All students are welcome to attend. However, in addition some students in Years 10, 11 and 12 may be placed on a Monday after school study / homework session if they have work that has not been completed. Parents and students will be informed if they been placed on one of these via email which will include the date they are required to attend.

St Joseph's Wellbeing Program

This year the Student Planners have incorporated a personalised Wellbeing Program to support the social emotional learning of the students. Each week in the student planner, homeroom staff will guide students through a wellbeing activity to support their needs. 

Each week has a theme and an associated character strength that links with the CASTEL SEL framework, that is, Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision Making. 

The homeroom team will lead these exercises throughout the week in bite size lessons during homeroom time. 

The amazing aspect of this program is that parent resources will be released each fortnight with the newsletter to support parents in their conversations at home regarding the current lessons being delivered at school. 

This fortnight's articles can be acsessed below. All future articles will be posted in the newsletter.
