This week we welcomed nine beautiful Kindergarten students on Tuesday for our first Orientation day.  All of the children had a fantastic morning, and each year I am blown away by how confident and comfortable the children are at coming to St Joseph’s.  We look forward to seeing them again in Week 10.

Today is R U OK day and there is lots of yellow around which is fantastic.  Our captains Isliah and Sydney have a great report that is included in the newsletter.

Our four Western Region Public speakers Arthur, Charlie, Hugh and Isliah did a fantastic job at representing our school on Monday in Cootamundra.  It is a wonderful achievement to reach this level and I would like to congratulate them all on their wonderful effort.  A big thank you to all of the parents for taking them to this event.

On Monday Sydney will represent the Canberra/Goulburn Archdiocese at the McKillop trials at Homebush.  Sydney will compete in the 800 metres and we wish him all the best and again congratulate him on this wonderful achievement to reach this level.

We look forward to presenting mass this weekend, a big thank you to those students who have volunteered to have a job.
