Year 5 have had a fantastic afternoon trying their luck at gold panning and enjoying plenty of games together. They had the opportunity to make and cook damper. Dinner was another big hit and now the children are gathered around a cosy campfire, roasting marshmallows and soaking up the beautiful Bathurst scenery. A perfect end to a wonderful day!

Our students had a fantastic time enjoying the wellbeing performance, 'The Human Race!' 🎭✨ The performance was an engaging way for our students to explore important wellbeing messages, including kindness, respect, empathy, inclusion and belonging. Through storytelling, music and relatable characters, students learned practical strategies for building positive relationships, solving problems and preventing bullying. 'The Human Race', reinforced the importance of treating everyone with respect and compassion, both at school and online, while helping students recognise the value of seeking help and supporting one another. We are proud of the way our students engaged thoughtfully, participated enthusiastically and reflected on how their words and actions can help create a safe, kind and inclusive school community. 💙

Year 5 Builds an Arcade! 🎮✨ This term, Year 5 combined their learning in STEM and forces to create an arcade for the school to enjoy. Following the design process, students brainstormed game ideas, explored how forces could make them work and used recycled materials to build and test their prototypes. They then shared their finished games with other grades in the MPA. It was wonderful to see students enjoying one another’s creations and giving feedback that Year 5 can use in their next STEM challenge. Well done Year 5!

Year 5 Formation for Leadership Day On Friday, our Year 5 students participated in a meaningful Formation for Leadership Day in preparation to take on their roles as leaders of St Joseph's in Year 6, in 2027. Working alongside the Year 10 students from Xavier College, our students explored the call of the disciples and reflected on what it means to be a strong and faithful leader. They considered the example of Jesus as a servant leader, someone who led with humility, compassion and love, always placing the needs of others first. The students also reflected on Jesus’ call to love our neighbour, putting this message into practice through collaboration, kindness and a fun game shared with the Xavier students. We were grateful for the guidance and support of Fr Andrew, Rev Deacon Adrian, Mrs Kemp and the Xavier students, who helped make the day both purposeful and memorable. The students also reflected on inspiring leaders such as Mary MacKillop, Pope Francis and Nelson Mandela, considering their courage, compassion and commitment to the common good. They discussed the importance of collaboration, clear communication, inclusion and service to others. Our students were reminded that leadership is not simply about having a title—it is about noticing the needs of others, working together, standing up for what we believe in and leading by example through our words and actions. We look forward to seeing our Year 5 students continue to grow in confidence, empathy and responsibility as they prepare to serve and lead our school community in Year 6.

Learning, Sharing and Living Out Jesus’ Mission. ✝️ Year 2 students were delighted to welcome our Year 1 students into their classroom for a special opportunity to learn from one another about Baptism.💧 Year 2 shared their learning about what Baptism represents, while Year 1 proudly shared their beautiful Baptism books, featuring the symbols of Baptism and the story of Jesus’ Baptism. Together, the students explored their focus Scriptures: 📖 Year 1 – Luke 3:21–22, which tells the story of Jesus’ Baptism. 📖 Year 2 – Matthew 28:16–20, where Jesus calls his disciples to “make disciples of all nations.” This wonderful learning experience helped our students see that they, too, can live out Jesus’ mission by sharing their faith, teaching others and helping one another to know and follow Jesus. 💙 What a beautiful example of our Year 1 and Year 2 students learning, teaching and growing together in faith! 🌱✨
