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.’’

Transitioning smoothly into ‘big school’: What parents need to know
The first day of Kindergarten! It’s a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). Starting “big school” marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.

St Joseph’s Year 6 were BOOT SCOOTIN’ last night! 👢✨ The barn was rocking for the Year 6 Bush Dance! 🌾 Our students swapped their school uniforms for denim, cowboy hats and boots, bringing incredible energy to the dance floor. It was a night of laughter, spinning, and some very impressive dance moves. It was fantastic to see everyone letting their hair down and celebrating the end of a busy year. There is no party quite like a St Joseph’s Bush Dance! Check out the highlights below! 👇 #Year6 #BushDance #StJosephs #SchoolFun #CountryTheme #DanceFloor

Making memories that make a splash! 🌊 Today was one for the books! Our Year 6 cohort took part in the legendary Motiv8 Day, and the energy was electric. ⚡️ It’s days like these—filled with sunshine, water, and genuine joy—that our students will remember long after they graduate. It was wonderful to see everyone letting loose, encouraging each other, and just being kids. Thank you to the Motiv8sports Blacktown team for an incredible afternoon of water fun! #ClassOf2025 #Year6Leavers #Motiv8Day #SchoolSpirit #FunInTheSun

Happy Character Strength Day! Today's a great day to notice and celebrate the unique strengths in each member of our community. Will it be kindness that shines through? Curiosity? Humour? Bravery? Maybe perseverance or gratitude? I'm curious—which character strengths do you think will show up strongest at St Joseph's today?
