Living Well, Learning Well Awards

At St Joseph’s, we proudly celebrate student success each week through the presentation of two class awards. The Learning Well Award honours a student who has shown pleasing effort, perseverance or achievement in a nominated area of the curriculum. The Living Well Award recognises a student who exemplifies our school values through respectful behaviour, positive attitudes and outstanding citizenship.

Crunch & Learn

‘Crunch & Learn’ is a time at the beginning of the school day where students have the opportunity to eat an extra serve of fruit or vegetables to support good health and help with learning. 

Students simply bring a piece of fruit or serve of vegetables into the classroom to eat during the morning session, while continuing with their regular routine. 

Please send your child to school each day with an extra piece of fruit or serve of vegetables to eat in the classroom.  Something that can be easily taken into the room and eaten without causing too much mess is ideal, for example:

• An apple or banana
• Carrot or celery sticks
• A small container of sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, grapes, strawberries, cucumber or capsicum sticks, broccoli bits or chopped melon.

Please don’t send fruit or vegetable products (e.g. dried fruit, fruit straps, popcorn, fruit or vegetable breads), fruit in syrup or jelly or with artificial sweeteners, flavoured or marinated  vegetables.  Thank you for your supporting Crunch & Learn at St Joseph’s.
