Dear Parents & Carers,

Congratulations to Eli Fenning, Elliot Banyer, Jack Butchers and Harrison Morton who competed at the Diocesan Athletics Carnival on Friday 6th August in the PP5, Small Schools Relay. We are very proud of your achievement and representation of St. Joseph's. A very big thank you to our parents for driving the team to and from the venue. The boys will go through to participate in the Polding Athletics Carnival on Friday 12th September. 

Last week we celebrated the Feast of St. Mary MacKillop. Mary MacKillop along with Father Julian Tenison Woods founded Australia's first order of nuns, the Sisters of St. Josephs. This order then established St. Joseph's Schools providing free education and support to families in need. Mary Mackillop was a remarkable lady who was then recognised as Australia's first and only Saint on 17th October 2010. On Friday, our school came together with students participating in a range of activities and created a beautiful range dedicated to Saint Mary. Students reflected upon how Saint Mary Mackillop encourages us to strive, persist and celebrate our success. They also recognised ways to demonstrate compassion and serve others before finally identifying how they can make a difference in the world today.
