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!

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?

CHARACTER STRENGTHS We need to understand the importance of character strengths because these foundational qualities shape our children's development far beyond academic achievements. During these formative years, children are building the core traits that will influence their relationships, decision-making, and resilience throughout their lives. Understanding character strengths helps parents recognise and nurture their children's natural abilities while supporting growth in areas that might need development. For instance, when parents understand how kindness or perseverance contributes to their child's wellbeing, they can create opportunities to practice these strengths through daily activities and conversations. These character strengths serve as protective factors against challenges children may face. A child who has developed gratitude might cope better with disappointment, while one who has cultivated bravery might handle peer pressure more effectively. Parents who understand this can actively support their children through difficulties by helping them draw upon their character strengths. We are looking forward to seeing all the different character strengths we are growing at St Joseph's tomorrow.

Year 1 African Drumming Incursion! What an incredible day our Year 1 students had exploring the vibrant world of African drumming! The children had so much fun learning rhythms, playing together, and experiencing the joy of making music as a group. Drumming is a wonderful way for young learners to develop coordination, listening skills, and teamwork while expressing themselves creatively. The smiles and laughter said it all – our students absolutely loved it! A huge thank you to our visiting drummer Lucky for bringing such energy and enthusiasm to our school!
