I am hoping that all of our St Joseph’s families had a lovely Easter with family and friends. Fr Joe had a message on Sunday to the Tumut parishioners to rejoice and celebrate that Jesus is risen– sing, dance, eat chocolate, drink wine. I enjoyed the last two requests with my family!

Please keep Fr Joe in your prayers – he is heading home after the sad news that his mother passed away.  We will continue to keep him in our prayers and thoughts.

A big thank you to all of our families and friends who came out to the Adelong Golf Course for our Cross Country carnival, especially to our helpers that were on the course encouraging all students and showing them the way!  The day ran smoothly in warm conditions and all children did well, giving it their best.  The first five finishers in the 8/9, 10, 11 and 12/13 years will progress to the Western Region Cross Country (hosted by St Josephs Adelong and St Marys Batlow) in Batlow on Thursday 2nd May, 2024.  We will be asking our families to support the school and come along on the day and lend a hand.

A reminder that when we come back for Term 2 - Tuesday 30th April it will be full winter uniform.  Please ensure that all of your child’s uniform are clearly labelled – especially jumpers and jackets.  Hats are to be worn all year round.

Anzac Day falls in the last week of the school holidays – Thursday 25th April.  It would be lovely to have as many students as we can to march with the school.  If your child will be marching with the school please let the school office know.

Blessings for a great week,

Kirsty Beavan
