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 had the sweetest Science lesson yesterday. As part of their Science unit, Year 5 made gelato. While mixing, cooking and adding flavour, they explored how ingredients change from solids to liquids to gases, and identified which changes in the cooking process are reversible and which are irreversible. Lots of curious questions, lots of learning… and lots of smiles! Science never tasted so good!

We also took time to farewell staff who are leaving us this year – their contributions, care, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our community. They will be greatly missed! A special farewell was given to our current Year 6 Captains, thanking them for their leadership and contributions throughout the year. At the same time, we are excited to welcome our student leaders for 2026. We look forward to the journey ahead and all that we will achieve together.

We have been learning all about living things, how we can classify them, their adaptations and their life cycles.

Loving God, We remember those who gave their lives in times of war and conflict, those who served with courage and compassion, and those who continue to work for peace in our world today. May we honour their memory by living with kindness, justice, and hope. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13 Lest we forget.

Year 4 Excursion Adventure! Our Year 4 students had a fantastic day out on Wednesday exploring Hyde Park Barracks and the Museum of Sydney! They stepped back in time to discover what life was like for convicts and early settlers, tried out hands-on exhibits, and deepened their understanding of Sydney’s fascinating history. It was a wonderful day of learning, curiosity, and fun—thank you to our amazing staff who made it possible.
