That last week before the school holidays

July 10, 2025

St Joseph's Catholic School

As the school term comes to a close, it's time to take a deep breath and appreciate all that's been achieved. From early mornings to packed schedules, it's been a full and busy term. Now, we welcome the school holidays — a chance to slow down, reconnect and make cherished memories with our families. Wishing everyone a restful, joyful break ahead.

Term 2 Achievements

On July 3, we recognised some of the achievements of our wonderful students during term 2. We acknowledged and celebrated students who achieved their silver, gold and diamond medallions. Congratulations to all our Cross Country and Athletics champions who received their medallions and trophies. We are very proud of our hard-working and dedicated students. Following the assembly, students enjoyed morning tea with their invited guests.

Sea Life and Wild Life

Stage 1 students had a fantastic time at the aquarium and zoo at Darling Harbour. A favourite activity was the touch pool where the students could feel starfish, shells and coral. The crocodile at Wild Life was also a hit! The weather was kind and predicted cyclone storms stayed away. We all stayed dry!
