As we delve into the digital classroom, it is essential staff are provided with the tools and knowledge to ensure this exciting shift in paradigm is transitioned correctly.

St Joseph’s recently hosted Jamie McDowell, principal of St Joseph’s Wee Waa.

As the diocese drives a culture of professional learning communities, Jamie’s visit was to witness first-hand the wonderful learning happening at St Joseph’s Quirindi.

It is a reflection upon the entire school community that more and more school leaders are visiting us to learn how they can improve their schools’ practice.

Our Catholic Year 5 and 6 students have commenced their preparation for the sacrament of confirmation. 

This is a special time in the lives of these children and their families. Please keep them in your prayers.

We hope all fathers had a wonderful day on Sunday. Hope your children spoilt you rotten.
