Election Day – March 13

Joondalup Schools is a ballot point, and our P&C will be running a sausage sizzle and more! Even if you don’t normally vote at Joondalup Schools, come down and support our P&C.

Assembly – Tuesday Afternoons

As you know we now have assemblies on Tuesday afternoons. We will endeavour to ensure our gates are open in time for families and friends wishing to join. As no students are in class at this time, it can make it really difficult to get a message to a specific student or member of staff. If you need to pick your child up early during an assembly, please try and give the school as much notice as possible.

Leadership Camp

This term our student Captains and Faction Captains will be attending a leadership camp with student leaders from other Education Support Centres north of the river. The camp will be held at the Keith Maine Centre in Whiteman Park and is a great opportunity for students to further their leadership skills together.

No School on Monday

A reminder that Monday 1 March is a public holiday – and school will be closed.

Medical Forms – and Medical Updates

Each year we send home medical forms to be completed by families and returned. This information is vitally important to have at school. Even if there are no changes from last year, we still require the form back signed, indicating there have been no changes. If you did not receive a form, or require another please contact the school.

Therapy and IEP meetings

Thank you so much to families who have been so flexible in meeting at school to discuss both therapy for your child and outcomes at school. These meetings have been so valuable to have together, as we are able to ensure we are all working towards the same goals.

Smoking Ceremony and parent morning tea

We shared a wonderful morning with Nick Abraham who led us through a smoking ceremony this morning. He was fabulous to listen to and we have now waved goodbye to 2020 and welcomed in 2021. Students, families and staff had the opportunity to walk through the smoke as part of the ceremony.

We shared a parent/carer morning tea after this assembly, and it was lovely to see families join together to share stories about their families, and offer suggestions to each other. We will host family morning teas twice each term. We endeavour to have guest speakers about topics important to families.
