Defence School Mentor News
It was a wonderful start to our term with the Anzac Day Service last Wednesday afternoon. Many thanks to Madeline, Aidan and Tobias’ Dad, Lt Col Tim O’Brien for giving such a thoughtful and insightful commemorative address.
To all the Defence children at St Joseph’s who helped prepare meaningful decorations for our service and so willingly and reverently undertook roles on the day, we were very proud of all of you. Thank you.

We had some exciting news this week with Eloise P being awarded 2nd Prize in the Creative Arts Finding Freedom competition (primary section) for her beautiful jellyfish drawing and description on what freedom means to her. Congratulations Eloise!
