Kaya everyone,

It is wonderful to see our students back at school and ready to learn. We welcome back students who are now in an older year group, and welcome those coming to Joondalup Education Support Centre for the first time, or to school for the very first time.

We have had a very smooth start to the term, and students have settled very quickly into classrooms and routines. We are already into Week 3 of our 9 week term!

We welcome some new staff to our school this year. Madison Ricketts, Brett Scoble, Emily Hall, Michelle Connor and Ashley Vincent join us this year.

Smoking Ceremony

We had our annual smoking ceremony last Friday, symbolising renewal and strengthening, and bringing people together. Uncle Jason has been leading our schools in this for a few years, and this year it was just as special. Although it was a hot day, moving the ceremony to the undercover area provided some relief from the heat.

Updating details – 2024

Families will receive a note soon asking to update your details. It is a good time to make sure we have the most up to date details about and medical conditions, phone numbers, emails etc. Every year as a school we must update these records, even if nothing has changed. When they arrive home please make any necessary changes, or alternatively, let us know nothing has changed. All forms need to be returned signed, even if nothing has changed.

Locavora 

This is who we are able to order our lunches from, as our canteen is now closed. If you would like to order lunches for Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays it can be done with Locavora Schools – Lunch Orders for School. Please refer to the flyer in this newsletter.
