Grenfell Show

On behalf of the St Joseph’s Community Council I would like to give a sincere thank you to all parents, carers, family members and friends that helped support our fundraising endeavours at the Grenfell Show. With your help, we provided catering for the luncheon room with an amazing array of cakes, slices, biscuits, sandwiches and soups, as well as provided a bbq outside. The feedback we have had about our food, presentation and service has been commendable. This could not have been achieved without your help, so thank you!

A special thank you to the Community Council Show Planning Team, in particular Davina and Sheridan, for organising such a fantastic event. Well done!

We are still finalising numbers, but the profit margin will be shared at our Open Community Council meeting early next term.

Thank you to all staff, especially Mrs Green, for their hard work preparing items for our school display. It was a wonderful effort and represented our school well.

On Thursday 19th September, we are holding our annual Open Evening and BBQ. All parents, carers and students are invited to gather together as a school community to share a meal together and relax. The BBQ will commence at 6pm. Please RSVP here for catering purposes: https://forms.gle/i1uZKgnENvGh6Z2u6

Father’s Day Liturgy

Year 5/6 led a beautiful liturgy on Monday morning, following our Father’s Day breakfast, in honour of all our St Joseph’s Dads, Pops, Uncles, and Father Figures in our hearts.

All students participated in the liturgy with reverence and were part of a special video, whereby each student highlighted amazing qualities that make our male father figures so special. Thank you to Ms Washbrook for putting this video together for the students.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Father’s Day on Sunday with their families. A big thanks to all the special men who were able to make it to celebrate with us at school.

Life Education Van

On Tuesday, all students thoroughly enjoyed meeting Healthy Harold. 

Students in Kindergarten and Year 1 had the opportunity to play games and learn how to be a great friend. 

The Year 2/3/4 students learnt about friends and feelings. 

Year 5/6 focused on the topic ‘take a breath’.
