On Tuesday we were visited by 25 educational leaders from China who came to St Joseph’s to learn about education in Australia
We shared with them all the great things that are happening at St Joseph’s Kingswood. They spent some time with the leadership team going through different teaching methods used at St Joseph's. They experienced some of the numeracy activities our children do and spent time in the classrooms and loved engaging with the children on the playground.
We asked them what the difference was between Australian and Chinese schools. They reflected that:
- we know each of our children and are teaching to their individual needs
- the teachers must work very hard to teach in this way
- the learning is engaging and challenging
- the children are alive with excitement about their learning
- the children are very friendly and happy
- we are preparing our children for life not just for a test.

As dawn breaks, we pause to honour the courage, service and sacrifice of the ANZACs, and all those who have served and continue to serve Australia in times of war and peace. We give thanks for their commitment, resilience and the freedoms their service has helped protect. โThey shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."

โFather, into your hands I commend my spirit.โ Luke 23:46 Today our St Josephโs community pauses to remember Good Friday, the day Jesus gave his life on the Cross out of love for the world. Good Friday invites us to reflect on the depth of Christโs sacrifice and the power of selfless love. Through his suffering and death, Jesus showed us what it truly means to forgive, to serve others, and to love without limits. We remember that even in the darkness of the Cross, hope remains, because Godโs love is stronger than sin and death. May this sacred day encourage us to live with compassion, kindness, and faith as we journey toward the hope of Easter. ๐๐ป

Our Kindergarten students had a wonderful time at our Kindy Monster Party! The day was filled with excitement, laughter, and lots of learning through play. The children enjoyed a range of fun party games including Pin the Eye on the Monster, Musical Chairs, and a Monster Disco with a disco ball and glow sticks! They also got creative making their very own Monster Biscuits (which were delicious!), and Monster Masks, showing off their wonderful imagination! Our Kindy students worked together during a Monster Scavenger Hunt out on the playground and they had a fantastic game of Monster Bingo. Throughout the celebrations, we also shared and enjoyed a variety of wonderful monster stories, sparking imagination and a love of reading. It was so lovely to see our youngest students engaging, collaborating, and having so much fun together. We are sure everyone will sleep well last night!
