One thing I asked of the Lord, to behold the beauty of the Lord (Ps 27:4)

This term, we are truly blessed with many opportunities to come together and celebrate what matters most to us as a community. Amid the busy events, celebrations, and occasions, it can be easy to lose sight of why we gather, who we gather for, and what truly matters. It is important to take a moment to pause, appreciate the beauty around us, and see God's presence in these occasions. As we gather in both the big and small moments, we must remember that at the heart of every celebration are our students.

Jamie Pearlman Cup and Boorowa Carnival

Today Mr Tarrant accompanied a group of Year 5 and 6 students to play in the Jamie Pearlman Cup Basketball finals. It is a fantastic achievement to reach the finals and represent our school. On Friday, over 50 students from Year 5 and 6 will be attending the Boorowa touch football and netball carnival. Thank you to our teachers and parent volunteers for supporting their participation in this event.

Family Picnic and Colour Run

Preparations are well underway for our Family Picnic and Colour Run on the 3^rd November. Families are encouraged to bring along a rug and some picnic food to enjoy the sunshine, some fun activities and the company of the St Joseph’s community. There will be a BBQ and international food stall as well as sweet treats available on the day. With a colour run organised by the Community Council to conclude the festivities, it should be a wonderful community event.

The picnic will include a cake stall, information about how to contribute cakes, slices and sweets to the stall will be sent home next week.

To assist with catering and to volunteer your time, we are asking that families RSVP via the jot form below. Thank you to those who have already volunteered.
