UP to Lou Dogao and the staff of St Joseph’s Primary School. As a team they have stayed true to their promises of ensuring the safety of the students and maintaining the quality of teaching and learning in the school. They have demonstrated amazing resilience, energy, commitment and humour in trying times. They have listened with compassion to the anxieties of the parents and the students while quietly managing their own misgivings. The children of St Josephs are in very good hands and the parents are very grateful. Thank you.
