Indonesian Day
Exciting news for Term 3 - Indonesian Day will be held on Tuesday 26th July. Activities will
include cooking, music, puppetry, games and lots of Indonesian language learning too! We will also be
showing some of the Indonesian short films that St Joseph’s students created last year. On the day,
children are asked to dress in red and white as these are the colours of the Indonesian flag.
BeachsideDivisionLightningPremierships
On Tuesday some of the Year 5 and 6 Girls participated in the second level of interschool
netball. We all had a great day and tried our hardest. In our division there were six teams. We
won two of our games and lost three games. It was a very successful day and we all enjoyed
ourselves.
Charli Rymer and Ashley Vinci
On the 19th of July some students from Year 4,5 and 6 played in the beachside division
Lightning Premiership round robin, we made it after successfully winning the first round in the
holt district. As a team we were very strong and we had great chemistry, as half of the team play
with each other on the weekend, we put up a great fight in every game we played and always
held our heads high no matter what. We ended up winning one of our four games but we always
tried our best and we only lost by one point against the team that came second so that was
really good. At the end of the day we were all super proud of our effort and also knowing that we
tried our best.

St Joseph’s Sports Captains
St Joseph’s Black Rock
Our purpose is to nurture the faith of students in a partnership between home,
school and community. Such a partnership
can only come to fruition through
communication, goodwill and highly
professional staff working with families for the
good of the child.
St Joseph’s Black Rock offers excellent
teaching, focused on each individual student, achieved through collaborative teams of
teachers, committed to exploring new and
better ways of teaching and learning.
For each child
Education is a thing of the heart, it dignifies the learner and enriches the teacher. Each
person in the community must strive to learn and practise to be compassionate tolerant
and inclusive.

NUT ALLERGIES
At St Joseph’s we have a no sharing of food policy due to the number of students with severe life
threatening allergies. In particular we ask that you PLEASE DO NOT SEND NUTS OR NUT BASED
PRODUCTS TO SCHOOL.
SIGNING OUT BOOK
Please remember to sign your child out of the school when leaving early. It is not necessary to sign in when
arriving late. The sign out book is located in the office on the bench.
SCHOOL HOURS
The school is responsible for the supervision of students from 8.45am. It is important to remember that
staff who arrive early for school do so to prepare for the day and cannot do this as well as supervise early
arrivals. A Before School Care program operates on our premises from 7.30am each day.
SECOND HAND UNIFORMS
Donations or enquiries contact Trisha McKean on 0423 979 745.
WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK
A reminder to all parents who wish to assist in the classrooms or on excursions that a WWCC is mandatory
and should be displayed at all times when helping in the classroom or on excursions.
HEAD LICE - ONCE A WEEK TAKE A PEEK
Families please check your child’s hair for Head Lice each Sunday before they return to school. Please treat
immediately if head lice are found. Head lice numbers would be reduced if this quick check happened every
week.
HEAD INJURIES
Any child who has a knock / bump to the head will have their parents notified as a precaution. All children
who are treated in sickbay or on the playground are issued with a First Aid slip; however, often these are not
seen by Parent. All staff is trained in first aid each year to Level 2, which should be very reassuring for
parents, but we will not make decisions or judgments regarding head injuries.
STAFF MEETINGS
Will be held each Wednesday at 3.45pm. Please do not detain teachers on these days.
FOR SALE….
Beautifully restored Zimerman Piano in excellent condition. Old fashioned Candle holders attached. Piano
stool included. Please see Cathy in the office for further details.
