Pre-Kinder starts at St Josephs Barraba

3rd November 2021

Congratulations to Joshua Anderson

who celebrated his First Holy Communion recently at mass at St John's Catholic church in Barraba. The mass was celebrated by Fr John Curran and marks a significant milestone in Joshua's faith journey. Joshua's class acknowledged the occasion with a small celebration on Monday at school. 

Last week St Joseph's welcomed 12 pre-kinder children to the first of six Transition days. The children received a warm welcome from staff and students, starting the day with some extended play time with lego and train sets in the covered outdoor learning area. K/1's teacher Mrs Amy Phillips took good care of the new students, assisted by Mrs Gillian Unwin. Transition days will be on Wednesdays this term. It is still possible to join in, just contact the school office to organise.

Congratulations to Miss Eleisha Outridge who has been appointed to a permanent full-time teaching role at St Joseph’s commencing in 2022. Eleisha has been a dedicated and creative teacher to our Year 2/3/4 class in 2021, and we are delighted she will be in a full-time teaching role in 2022 and beyond.
