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.

    St Joseph's students and staff celebrate Holy Thursday in quiet reflection with their classes. Students from K-6 presented images in the church of the Last Supper and embarked on a prayer walk through the church before being seated and listening to the Word of God led by Year 6 leaders. Happy Easter and God Bless

    What a fabulous St Joseph’s Feast Day celebration we had last Friday! The liturgy was beautiful, the Stage 3 leaders did an awesome job in classrooms and the sausage sizzle and cake stall was a definite highlight for everyone. Joey even came to help us celebrate!
