Prime Minister Award
‘Being a steward of creation’, ‘Trying your best’, ‘Speaking with kindness’ and ‘Being a responsible learner’ are some of the qualities that teachers consider when awarding ‘Prime Minister’ at our weekly assembly. It is an acknowledgement of the student’s efforts and they have the privilege of wearing the badge with honour, of suggesting a focus the school can work on, award Gotchas to other students at lunch time as well as earning Gotchas for themselves. Congratulations goes to Oliver Shelton (Week 3) and Axl Barbour-Williams (Week 4).
MJR Awards

DIO Athletics Carnival
On Wednesday 7th August eleven students from St Joseph's Wingham travelled to the Hunter Sports centre at Newcastle for the Newcastle/Maitland Diocesan athletics carnival.
The students competed in various track and field events with fantastic behaviour and great sportsmanship in very competitive fields.
Well done to Sophie Hook, Zeke Pereira, Shaneden Clarke, Ashlea Linehan, Eleanor Healy, Karlina Stoehr, Mathias Reynolds, Roman Falzon, Saul Simon, Joseph Ayres and Aurora Minns for competing. Congratulations to Eleanor Healy who progresses onto the Polding carnival in the 1500m event. Thank you to all parents and carers for supporting and transporting students down. It is such a wonderful experience for the students competing at this level.
