Our Vision
We at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Pinjarra, seek to create a God
centred environment where each school community member is
nurtured spiritually, academically, socially and physically.
Merry Christmas to
all members and
friends of our school
community.
Dear Parents, Caregivers and Community Members,
This is our final newsletter for the year, it is hard to believe another year has almost finished. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank all staff, students, school and parish community members who have
contributed to the wonderful Parish/School Community event “Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord’.
Looking out at the sea of faces, it was delightful to see so many parents, grandparents and extended families
join us as we recalled the reason why we celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus.
I have included some photos of the event and hopefully we can continue this tradition in future years. Next
year, I will remember to pray for not only a clear night, but perhaps a little warmer too!
We farewelled our senior students with a beautiful Mass and lunch on Wednesday and we will miss them all.
I am sure that they will take the St Joseph Community Spirit with them in all their future endeavours and will
continue to be a credit to us, their families and themselves.
A reminder that the ‘Book List’, which is purely for tissues and general incidentals, will be uploaded onto
our revitalised webpage. Please check it early next year: www.stjoespinjarra.wa.edu.au
God Bless and I hope you have a safe and happy break. I look forward to seeing you all next year.
