A beautiful dinner last night with Yr six parents, students and staff to celebrate the end of Primary school at St Joseph’s for Taylor, Lily, Laura and Oliver.  It was a lovely night organised by parents – a huge thank you to Nicki for all her work in getting everything in place and ensuring that it was a special night for our four Yr sixes and their parents.  A great time was had by all especially when the dance moves came out!!

Our current Year five students have been busy making leadership posters that tells students a little bit about themselves, what leadership qualities they have as well as what they hope to do in 2025.  Those students who have nominated for school captain will present their speeches to the rest of the school on Friday morning.  St Joseph’s students will then vote for school captain and the other leadership positions that the children have nominated for. We look forward to working with a great group of Yr six leaders in 2025.

The silly season is indeed upon us and it is a little bit frightening how quickly the end of year is rapidly approaching. It is quite busy at St Joseph’s over the last weeks of the school year– lot’s of events happening, please continue to check Compass and ensure that you have consented to Vortex and the pizza orders, and are aware of all the end of year happenings.

We look forward to our end of Year Mass and awards presentation next week at the Adelonia theatre, Thursday 12^th December. It is our last official school event for the year and we are excited to celebrate with students and families at our mass and also recognise students for their hard work, effort and achievement throughout 2024.

Congratulations to Kruz who was baptised today with his family and class mates around him.  Bonnie and Kruz also celebrated their first Holy Communion which was a really special occasion. Thank you to Fr Joe who celebrated with us and to Miss Braun in her preparation of both Bonnie and Kruz.

Blessings for a great week,
