On Friday the 10th August our school's Faith Alive Team participated in the Winter Sleep-Out in support of the St. Vincent De Paul Winter Appeal.
Vinnies Sleepouts provide a glimpse into the realities of homelessness by ‘sleeping rough’ for a night to raise awareness and funds for Vinnies homelessness services. This experience challenged our students' sense of home and offers unique insights into the complex issues faced by people experiencing homelessness.
The aim of the night was to help raise awareness of poverty in our community and give our students the chance to work towards a more just and compassionate society. We were thrilled to have a fantastic turn out with around 40 students in attendance.
The students participated in a number of faith based activities which included the packing of all the donations received by the whole school.
Thank you for the generosity all our St Josephs families have shown for such a valuable cause.

What a wonderful start to our St Joseph’s CAFE! A heartfelt thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us for our very first gathering. Your presence, energy and willingness to connect made the evening truly special. Together, we explored practical tips to support reading at home, discovered fun and simple games to build number sense and most importantly, shared ideas and voices about what matters most for our children’s learning and wellbeing. It was fantastic to see families connecting, learning from one another and building a strong sense of community. We are excited to reveal our new name, Joey’s CAFE, chosen by you—our families! Thank you for your input and for helping shape this initiative from the very beginning. We are so grateful for your partnership and can’t wait to continue this journey together at our next Joey's CAFE session! Save the date: Wednesday 2nd September at 5pm.
