This term, Year 2 have been investigating push and pull and how an object moves or changes shapes in our science unit “Push and Pull”.
On Friday 9th June the students attended an incursion by Fizzics Education that gave the students an additional understanding of how we use force to move things.Year2 learnt about pushing and pulling objects, friction, gravity and inertia. They enjoyed discovering these scientific concepts using magnets, spinning wheels, pushing a rocket using the force of air and pulling a cloth from under a glass bottle.
More photos of this incursion are available in the Media Gallery.

For many families, sleep problems begin before their child is in bed. It is not unusual for children to have nighttime worries or fears that stop them from falling asleep easily. Preschool and primary-aged children may use excuses to avoid going to bed, like needing to go to the toilet or wanting to talk about something. Older children and teens may lie awake at night for a range of reasons, such as being uncomfortable in their sleep environment or stressed about school or friendships. Sleep problems in children and teens can be behavioural, psychological or medical. Click on our St Josephs school TV to find out more on sleep

If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

Happy World Environment Day! 🌿 At St Joseph's, we view our Earth as a precious gift. Our Faith in Action Team recently highlighted St. Francis of Assisi’s 'Canticle of the Sun'. His words remind us that we are all interconnected—sharing this world with our 'brother' Sun, 'sister' Moon and 'mother' Earth. Together as one big family, let's look after our environment today and every day! 🌻✨ #faithinactioncspd
