It is our annual QCS survey time. I ask as many parents and carers as possible to
come in to school and complete a survey. The surveys can be completed on-line
here at school, or as a paper copy. This is an opportunity for the parents to help
us find clear direction for the future of St Joseph’s. The survey is available for
completion all this week, until Friday March 22nd. Please see Jane or myself to
complete a survey. Thank you for your continued support of our home/school
partnership in educating your children.

Mr Danny
Play “I spy” on the way to
Kununurra. It’s a great way to
learn, practice and consolidate
knowledge about sounds and letters.
Attention Guitar Players!!!!!
For early readers:
PLEASE SAY “I spy with my little eye
something beginning
with the sound b” (as in Boab)
NOT “I spy with my little eye something
beginning with the letter B” (as in bee)
It is vital for early reading development
that children are able to hear the
actual sound made/heard-not just
become familiar with the name of the
letter which represents that sound/
HAPPY “I SPYING”!!
Thanks to Ms Naomi, the school has now got 8 shiny
new guitars that are a perfect size for kids to learn
some guitar chords and some basic tunes on.
The Year 3/4/5 class have already
experimented with them!
Throughout Term 1 on Monday nights students are
invited to stay after school for 30 minutes to practise
and share their guitar skills. As we only have 8 guitars
we are limited to having only 8 students at one time.
The guitar sessions are open to guitar players of all
abilities and the guitars are provided to use at school.
If you are wanting to have free guitar lessons and join
our club, see Mr Danny during school hours.
