Celebrating Fathers Day For many years now, the role of fathers has changed and evolved. During the industrial revolution, fathers were often considered detached and distant due to working long hours in factories. However, today things have changed dramatically with many dads being celebrated for being sensitive, caring and more hands-on. Recent studies have shown that children benefit greatly from having fathers who are present and interacting in everyday activities. This has transformed the understanding of how fathers shape childrenβs lives from the start, challenging conventional ideas of parenthood and gender. Research also suggests that fathers influence their sons and daughters in different ways, which is especially true during their transition to adolescence. Engaging in regular physical activities can play a key role in influencing children to learn self-control, face challenges, regulate emotions and take manageable risks. In this Special Report, fathers will learn about the positive impact they can have on their childβs mental health and wellbeing, whilst also ensuring they indulge in a little self-care. Click on St Joseph's School TV to find out more on celebrating Fathers Day.

Our St Josephβs community holds the people of Nepal in our thoughts and prayers following the devastating flash floods and landslides that have struck the NepalβTibet border region this week, claiming hundreds of lives with many more still missing. We pray for those who have lost loved ones, for the families still searching for the missing, and for the rescue workers and communities responding with such courage. βBe still, and know that I am God.β (Psalm 46:10) ποΈ Let us keep Nepal in our hearts this week.

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, itβs surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

We were honoured to welcome Uncle Ted back this term, he shared powerful stories about identity and connection to our mob. His yarns gave our students so much to reflect on and be proud of. Inspired by Uncle Ted's visit and our community, our students have started planning an exciting new mural for our school, a project that will celebrate our culture and stories for everyone to see. Watch this space, as painting will begin next term! Huge thanks to Uncle Ted for taking the time to visit and share his knowledge with us.

Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading
Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news? It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.
