Thank you everyone who came and celebrated our Giving Mass and Ceremony of Light today, it was a beautiful celebration and we thank every student and family who so generously donated to the Vinnies Christmas Appeal. We have been absolutely inundated with items, which shows what a beautiful and caring St Joseph's community we have. Helping those in need and sharing Christmas joy to all is a special message that all our students have been able to partake in. 

Congratulations to our wonderful 2025 School Captains, it was a very tough process to only be able to select 4 School Captains, as the quality of every student's nomination speech in year 5 was terrific, and it was wonderful to see so many students keen and enthusiastic to be part of leadership at our school. We look forward to selecting our House Captains for 2025 very soon, and once again to all year 5 students who took on, prepared and presented their speech to their fellow peers and the year 4 students. 

Next week is another week full of fun and engaging in different learning experiences at school, and we look forward to sharing in the wonderful achievements at Awards Day on Monday, and Farewelling our current year 6 students in their farewell Mass on Tuesday at 11:45am, just before they head off to camp. 

Please keep an eye on Compass for details about each grades 'Community Day' fun, which is a wonderful way for students to have fun with their peers after a fantastic year of learning and  growing together. 

This year's Christmas hamper has been a huge success in 2H and across the entire school! Thank you to all of the families for your generosity to help others in need over our festive season.
