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 Ava Galea (Week 7) and Matilda Ryan (Week 8).

Tennis Gala Day - Years 5 and 6 

Last Wednesday, our enthusiastic students took to the courts for the annual Todd Woodbridge Tennis Gala day held at the Forster Tennis Club. It was a fantastic day filled with energy, sportsmanship, and plenty of rallies!

Students from Years 5 & 6 participated in a variety of tennis activities, including mini matches and team challenges. Everyone gave it their best shot and had a great time.

A big thank you to our parent volunteer Mrs Ungaro and Miss Hammond for transporting students and Mr Wickham for providing the bus. Their support ensured that every child had a chance to shine and enjoy the game. A big thank you also to Kara and Mary for all your work helping to organise the event. 

Congratulations to all our students for their enthusiasm and positive attitude. We’re proud of the way they represented our school and look forward to more sporting events to come.

Year 2 Learning Adventures!

In Year 2, we’ve been busy exploring, creating, and growing together! We’ve been building our reading fluency and creative writing skills as well as diving into number place value and addition and subtraction.  We've also been working hard on showcasing our drama performance and exploring new opportunities with information technology using Canva.  

At St Joseph's we try to emulate kindness, work as a team, and always try our best. On Friday's throughout the school year, Year 5 has been  helping Year 2 with reading fluency and recently a math ignition activity. This has provided Year 5 with a leadership opportunity as well as benefited the Year 2 kids with one on one learning assistance. A huge thank you to Mr Wickham and Year 5 for this wonderful opportunity for Year 2 throughout the Year.

Mr Knoke.
