Dear Parents and Guardians,  

Welcome to Week 10 and it has been another very busy 2 weeks and the children have been working hard during this time with lessons and end of Term 2 Assessment. We are very excited to celebrate NAIDOC next week and have been practising Ball Games in preparation for the Athletics Carnival which will be held on Thursday the 22^nd of June at the Andoom Oval.

NCCD - Nationally Consistent Collection of Data    

The NCCD is an annual collection of information from all Australian schools on the numbers of students with disability and the adjustments they receive. All Teachers at St. Joseph’s School will be expected to understand their obligations to students with disability under the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 and consistently collect and provide evidence which is recorded on ENGAGE. 

Visitors 

This week Marnie Carrison - Consultant Diversity from Student Engagement visited Weipa providing her services to the Teachers at St. Joseph's School.

Next week we welcomed back Ms. Lillian Miller - Consultant First Nations Education from Cairns Catholic Education to our School. Lillian will continue to provide her service to St. Joseph's School during NAIDOC Week. 

With one more week to go I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very relaxing holiday and I look forward to seeing you all in Term 3.

If you have any questions, please feel free to make contact with myself at a convenient time that suits. My email address is  mturner@cns.catholic.edu.au  

Kind Regards,  

Melanie Turner.
