2018 St Joseph's Primary - Wanderers School of the Year!

Who does St Joseph’s Primary School, Schofields sing for?

They “sing for the Wanderers’’ and this week the Western Sydney Wanderers Football Club paid them a special visit to thank them for their support and also announced them as the ‘Wanderers School of the Year’.

Former Year 6 students Tyronne Brown, Aidan Gosling and Brayden Cauchi entered the Western Sydney Wanderers School of the Year competition last year in a bid to demonstrate they are the Wanderers’ biggest fans.

“We are so happy and excited the school has won Wanderers School of the Year,’’ Aiden said.

As a result of winning the competition, the school was rewarded with a Western Sydney Wanderers Expo, which included a range of activities including a coaching clinic hosted by players, jumping castle, face-painting, poster-signing and photo opportunities.

The visit also featured two members from its powerchair team. Andy Waite and Ben Keyte come out especially to meet Kindergarten student Cruz Leite, who is a huge fan.

St Joseph’s Principal Lesley Studans said the event was really wonderful for the school.

“It has done wonders for our school spirit and highlights to the students that when you try your best you can get rewarded,’’ Mrs Studans said.

“It also reinforces our school values of ‘Together We Can’, which is all about our sense of community and working together as a team to achieve a goal.’’

Our St Joseph’s community holds the people of Nepal in our thoughts and prayers following the devastating flash floods and landslides that have struck the Nepal–Tibet 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. “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10) 🕊️ Let us keep Nepal in our hearts this week.

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.
