Welcome to Term 4. I hope that all of our St Joseph’s families had a restful break and are ready for what will be a jam packed term!

We are beyond proud of Lily, Billy, Ollie and Kruz who will compete at NSW PSSA Athletics on Thursday in Homebush.  As you would all be aware our small schools relay team got gold at MacKillop Athletics last term and are now representing MacKillop at the NSW PSSA State Athletics Championships.  This is such an amazing achievement for our little school and athletes.  The team has been training most lunch times and keeping up their fitness levels at home. All of their hard work and efforts are to be commended.

LIVESTREAM - The event is being livestreamed on the school sport unit video gallery via multiple channels.

The Relay is event T67 and is scheduled for Thursday 24 October at 11.35 am.

Staff continued their Professional Development in Catalyst on the first day of Term.  All staff completed the HITP online unit – 8 Big ideas of Catalyst.

Our School Buildings are looking fantastic. Everything is on schedule and going according to plan. It has been wonderful to have the cement, retaining walls and steps finished near the weathershed. Having flat paths and areas has been a game changer just in one small section, and has seen big improvements in handball games!

Welcome to our new students who have joined the St Joseph’s community this term – Rory and Amber McCarthy – Rory is in Yr 2 and Amber joins us in Yr 5.  Our enrolments are currently at 57!

Blessings for a great week,

Kirsty Beavan
