It was an absolute pleasure to accompany our Stage 2 Touch football teams to the Parramatta Diocesan Touch Gala day held at St. Marys last Friday.
Both teams were outstandingly well behaved and represented our school beautifully both on and off the field.
The boys team came runner up in their pool, losing only 1 of the 6 games played. Many tries were scored throughout the day and they truly were a force to be reckoned with!
The girls team also demonstrated great skill and won many of their games.
A huge thank you goes out to each member of the team for their dedication to training and for making me the proudest teacher at the gala day. You were all amazing!
Thank you also to our brilliant Year 6 referees, Charlotte Grima and Stephanie Attard, you were the youngest referees there yet two of the most skilled and competent. You also represented our school beautifully, thank you again!
Finally thank you to our awesome parent coaches, Mr Samuels, Mrs Grima and Mrs Wilson and our fantastic cheer squad, we could not have done it without you!
I can't wait till we do it all again next year.
Well done St. Joseph's!

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. Itโs 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! ๐ฆ๐บ๐๏ธ #StJosephsSchofields #Year6CanberraTrip #ParliamentHouse #CommunityLeaders #FutureLeaders Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

๐ **DAY 1: CANBERRA CAMP SUCCESS!** ๐ 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 proudโshowing 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! ๐ธ๐ 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 Siโ Week. This annual event honours the anniversary of Pope Francisโs 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. ๐โจ To kick off the week, each learning space was gifted a copy of Pope Francisโs Laudato Siโ 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. ๐ฟ 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.
