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 3 had a fantastic time learning about Australia's Indigenous culture and traditions. We began our day with a smoking ceremony, which helped us to clear the air of bad spirits. We then had a chance to try our skills at Boomerang throwing. We enjoyed seeing who could throw it the furthest, while still having it return! We ended the day by looking at some bush tucker plants and other artefacts that are significant to Australia's Indigenous peoples.

Year Two have been working hard at completing their Stop Motion Literacy project. They have worked together in building lego creations whilst capturing the process through stop motion. They have then uploaded their stop motion film to Seesaw where they used adjectives, verbs and adverbs to describe their creations. We can’t wait to have the Year Two families join us on Seesaw next term to dive deeper into the children’s awesome work! --
