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.’’

🏅 What an incredible day at the St. Joseph’s Athletics Carnival! 🏃♂️💨 The sun was shining, the team spirit was electric, and our students absolutely gave it their all. From the very first race of the 100m sprints to the final, nail-biting house relays, the determination and sportsmanship on display today was unmatched. A massive congratulations to all of our athletes who competed today—whether you took home a ribbon or just smashed your personal best, you made St. Joseph's incredibly proud! A huge thank you goes out to our amazing staff, parent volunteers, and house captains who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the day run so smoothly. And of course, thank you to all the families who came out to cheer, chant, and support from the sidelines! 🎉 The final house points are being tallied as we speak, and we can't wait to announce the winning house soon. 🏆 Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

🚀 Kindergarten Science Incursion: How Things Move! 🌀 Yesterday, our Kindergarten classrooms were turned into mini-laboratories for an exciting, hands-on science incursion! 🥼✨ As part of our Term 2 inquiry unit on "How Things Move," our little scientists spent the day investigating the physics of movement. From pushes and pulls to bangs, the students explored the forces that make the world go round. It was incredible to see so much curiosity, teamwork, and critical thinking in action. A huge thank you to our facilitators for making science so accessible and incredibly fun! Check out some of our favourite moments from the day below! 👇📸 #KindergartenScience #STEM #HandsOnLearning #HowThings Move #InquiryLearning #SchoolLife

Our Year 6 students had an incredible, front-row seat to democracy today! As part of their Canberra excursion, they visited Parliament House and had the absolute privilege of meeting our local Federal Member and Minister for Communications, Michelle Rowland MP. It’s not every day you get to chat directly with a Member of Parliament in the nation's capital! The students asked some fantastic questions, learned firsthand how our laws are made, and represented St Joseph's with immense pride and leadership. A huge thank you to Michelle Rowland MP for taking the time out of her busy parliamentary sitting schedule to meet with our leaders of tomorrow. This is a memory they won't soon forget! 🇦🇺🏛️ #StJosephsSchofields #Year6CanberraTrip #ParliamentHouse #CommunityLeaders #FutureLeaders Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

🚌 **DAY 1: CANBERRA CAMP SUCCESS!** 🌟 And just like that, Day 1 is in the books! We swapped the classroom for the capital today, and what an incredible start it has been. From the moment the buses rolled out this morning, the energy and excitement have been through the roof. Today was all about arriving safely, settling in, and diving straight into the history, culture, and discovery that only Canberra can offer. Our students have already done us incredibly proud—showing brilliant curiosity, asking great questions, and representing our school beautifully at every stop. The bags are unpacked, dinner has been thoroughly enjoyed, and we are resting up for a massive Day 2 ahead. Stay tuned for more updates and photos over the coming days! 📸👇 More photos can be found on SeeSaw. #CanberraCamp #SchoolExcursion #Day1Done #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #MakingMemories

Today, our school community joins millions of people around the world to celebrate the start of Laudato Si’ Week. This annual event honours the anniversary of Pope Francis’s Letter to all people to Care for Our Common Home. It is a beautiful time for us to reflect, pray and most importantly take action to protect the planet we share. 🌎✨ To kick off the week, each learning space was gifted a copy of Pope Francis’s Laudato Si’ Letter and a living plant to nurture together. Over the week, our students will care for these plants as a daily, hands-on reminder of our shared responsibility to protect God's creation. 🌿 We are excited to see how our students grow in faith, teamwork, and environmental stewardship! #faithinactioncspd

Uncle Ted from Jarara came out to visit today, we sat together and talked about their culture. The stories that shaped their people, the land that holds their history, and the totems that carry meaning through generations. Uncle Ted shared what he knew, and the students asked lots of questions, and found new ideas connecting their identity. From those conversations, a creative spark took hold. Together they explored ways to bring those ideas to life through art sketching and painting. It became a meaningful exchange: culture passed on not just through talking, but through making.
