On Friday the 31st of October the St Joseph's community joined together in celebration of both Father's Day and Jersey Day.
Jersey Day is an annual day of awareness for organ donation which asks schools and workplaces throughout Australia to allow students and employees to wear their favourite sporting jersey in a show of support for the Donate Life network. Jersey Day was inspired by Nathan Gremmo who was tragically lost in May 2015. Nathan's family chose to give the gift of life to others through organ donation to honour Nathan's generous personality.
It was fantastic to see parents, students and staff in their favourite jersey to support this cause. With Father's Day around the corner, our dad's in the community enjoyed a bacon and egg sandwich and a photo in our photo frame.
We hope that all of the dad's in our community had a fantastic Father's Day and we thank you for supporting Jersey Day.

Year 5 Leadership Day What an incredible day our Year 5 students had on their Leadership Day! Throughout the day, students explored what it truly means to be a leader in the footsteps of Jesus — someone who leads through service, kindness, and compassion. They took part in a range of fun and challenging activities that encouraged communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and courage. Students reflected on how leadership is not about power or position, but about using our gifts to serve others and make a positive difference in our school community. It was inspiring to see so many students step up with confidence and show that true leadership begins with a servant heart.

Netball Gala Day Fun! What a fantastic day our students in Years 3-6 had at the Netball Gala Day! The courts were buzzing with energy, teamwork, and plenty of smiles. Our students represented our school with outstanding sportsmanship, cheering each other on and showing great determination in every game. We are so proud of the way they played, encouraged one another, and demonstrated our school values throughout the day. A huge thank you to the teachers, parents, and organisers who supported our teams — it truly was a great day of fun, friendship, and netball!

During the term our Year 5 students were busy bringing their creativity to life! As part of their writing, they learned how to write play scripts and then designed and crafted puppets to represent the characters in their stories. With excitement and teamwork, they rehearsed and performed their plays — and our Kindergarten students were the delighted audience! It was a wonderful way for our Year 5s to share their learning, storytelling, and imagination, while giving our Kindy students a taste of the magic of performance.

Year two have been writing procedures and what better way to test their accuracy than by following the procedures ourselves! 📝 We spent Tuesday morning conducting a range of procedures and we were all rewarded by getting to snack on what we produced.👩🏼🍳👨🏻🌾

Today our Year 5 students took part in their Formation Day as they begin their leadership journey. The day invited them to reflect on what it means to be a Christian Leader and how true leadership is not about power or recognition, but about service, kindness, and following the example of Jesus. Through prayer, reflection, and activities, the students explored how God is at the centre of every decision a leader makes and how being a leader means using the gifts of the Holy Spirit to guide their words and actions. This day is an important step in preparing them to be the Year 6 leaders of our community next year. We pray that they continue to grow in confidence and faith, always guided by the love of Christ and strengthened by the Holy Spirit.

On Thursday, St Joseph's was proud to support R U OK? Day. It is a National Day of action dedicated to reminding everyone that every day is the day to ask 'are you okay?' and support those around us. Both students and staff participated in this day and learnt how to offer support through the four step conversation framework- Ask, Listen, Encourage Action and Check In. A genuine conversation can sometimes have the greatest impact.

Year 5 have had a wonderful day at Scenic World! Students braved the cable car, skyway and railway – all with smiles and success. After a fun morning of adventure, we enjoyed a relaxed lunch in the park and are about to hop on the bus and head home. What a great camp experience it’s been.
