The Catholic Character Contribution is a voluntary contribution forwarded to the Catholic Education Services Board. The St Joseph’s Development Trust Contribution is a voluntary contribution which the Trust is extremely grateful to receive. This is used in our school for improvements to our site and facilities. Both of these voluntary contributions are tax deductible.
Term 3 Learning Conversations
During weeks 4 & 5, if you have any questions about your child’s learning progress, you have the opportunity to book in a conference with your child’s kaitiaki/teacher. Alternatively, teacher’s will be contacting any parents they would like to speak with.
These conferences are by request of the parent or teacher. Some parents already keep in regular contact with their child’s teacher and may not require a set meeting at this time. These can either be face to face, through Zoom or Google Meets, or a phone call – whatever works best for you.
If you would like to request an appointment, please directly message or email your child’s teacher to arrange a time to meet/talk. Remember you can make an appointment to see your child’s teacher at any time, however, we have staff/team meetings after school on Monday and Tuesdays, so those times are unavailable. Remember to bring your child with you to be part of this learning conversation.
Pasifika Speeches
Pasifika Speeches are coming up in Week 5 on Thursday 22nd August. We have both bilingual (30% native language 70% English) and full native language categories. If you have any questions please email Mrs Waru – suitk@stjosephs.co.nz
