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.

    Year 3 has had a super exciting science unit this term exploring Earth and Space. We investigated the different changes that occur on earth such as day and night and shadows. We also conducted some experiments exploring the effects of weathering and erosion on earth's surface. We ended our unit with a mock project from Penrith Council to build a boardwalk for a new park, which we tested out. It has been a bunch of fun!
