SJB Cross Country

Yesterday, we had a fantastic day at Bulli Park for our whole school Cross Country carnival. Congratulations to all the students who participated competitively or in the fun event! It was wonderful weather, and the sense of community was alive! It was great to see the persistence and smiles. Creative whole school dances added to the fun throughout the morning!

Thank you to all the parents, carers, and friends who attended the carnival and cheered on the runners. Thank you to our generous P&F for the refreshing ice blocks. These were a great way to conclude our War Cries!

A special thank you to the parent officials and staff for their generosity of time and effort before, during, and after the carnival. As you know, these events take time to prepare, and everything is done to benefit the students at St Joseph’s. We appreciate all of the extra assistance and organisation, especially those who assisted from 7:45 am and came back to help us unload at school. THANK YOU TO OUR WONDERFUL SCHOOL COMMUNITY! For all things St Joseph - we give thanks!
