Principal's Message
Perspective
Next week the College will have all staff and students back on campus with the view of returning to ‘business as usual’. BUT I am of the opinion that there will be a new normal here at SJPC, new ways of interacting and communicating, new ways of learning and teaching, new ways of engaging with one another.
Regardless of what this ‘new normal’ looks like we must never forget the importance of human connection and the need to interact with others. I have spoken to many students over the last week and almost all of them said that the best thing about being back at school was seeing and talking to their friends and many also acknowledged how good it was to see their teachers.
I know there are students and families who are anxious about not only next week but the following weeks as well. Whether you are concerned about financial assistance, your child’s wellbeing, or just have questions about what we are doing here at SJPC, please ask for help!
We will get through this as a community focused on the wellbeing and pastoral care of all our kids.
Uniform Update
Girls tailored shorts have arrived!
Finally, after many months of waiting and delays due to the pandemic, families can now purchase the tailored shorts from the uniform shop.
You will remember as a result of feedback from the students and P&F, it has been decided girls can wear shorts as an alternative to the skirt, if they wish.
1. Skirts must be worn at all formal occasions and at additional days when instructed. In other words skirts must still be purchased.
2. Girls may not purchase the boys short, they must opt for the girls short.
Girls tailored shorts - $44.00
Opening Hours - Tuesday and Thursday - 7.30am - 9.00am
Modelled by Year 7 students Dani and Maisie.
Visitor Parking
There are designated Visitor Parking zones adjacent to the office in the top carpark now available for visitors. Also, the new car park as you enter the College will be open from Week 5.






God bless
