St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School 61 Boronia Drive, O'Connor, Australian Capital Territory 2602

Welcome to St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School, located at 61 Boronia Drive in O'Connor, Australia. Our institution is a point of interest and a primary school that strives to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment for our students.

At St. Joseph's, we prioritize the holistic development of each child, focusing on their academic, social, and spiritual growth. Our dedicated staff members are committed to creating a safe and supportive atmosphere where students can thrive.

We are proud to announce that all of our Houses have reached their House Point benchmark for the term, and as a reward, students are encouraged to wear their pyjamas to school on Wednesday, June 23rd. We kindly ask that appropriate footwear is worn as well. In addition, Fatima House, the House that earned the most points this term, will enjoy a pizza lunch.

To keep our school community informed, we have recently transitioned to using Compass as our primary communication platform. Starting from the beginning of Term 3, all alerts and updates will be sent through Compass rather than the SZapp platform.

We are excited to introduce our new Editors in Chief, Ashley F and Hamish D, for our school newspaper, The Carpenter Chronicle. They have worked diligently alongside our talented team of writers to produce engaging articles that highlight the events and activities happening within our school. We invite you to read this edition of The Carpenter Chronicle by clicking here.

Semester One Reports are now available on the Compass Parent Portal. To access the report, simply log in and navigate to your child's profile. On a desktop, click on "View Academic Reports" under your child's name and select Semester One. If using the app, select your child and go to the Report tab.

Please ensure that you have logged into the Compass Parent Portal and updated your temporary password to gain access to your child's report. If you have not received a login email from Compass, please contact us at [email protected] so we can verify and update your email address.

Parent/Teacher Interviews will be held in Week 10, and bookings are now open on the Compass Parent Portal. We kindly remind you that we are not currently using Compass Pay, and no monetary transactions should be made through the Compass Platform.

We are pleased to announce that the carnival at Stromlo Forest Park scheduled for tomorrow will proceed as planned. Competitors are advised to bring warm clothes and a dry pair of shoes for after their event. Look for the St. Joseph's banner flag upon arrival, and please ensure that competitors arrive well ahead of their scheduled event time. Mrs. Tiffany Fletcher will be present to manage the team.

For your convenience, our uniform shop will now be open on Monday mornings from 8.30 to 9.00 am for over-the-counter sales. Online orders are still available, and purchases can be sent home with your child on Thursdays. Please note that all uniform sales must be made through QKR for payment.

Thank you for your continued support of our wonderful uniform shop. We appreciate your involvement in our school community and look forward to providing a nurturing educational experience for your child at St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School.
