World Environment Day
On Wednesday 5 June students at St Joseph’s celebrated World Environment Day 2024.
This is an important day for people around the world to come together to think about how they can help protect and look after different environments, the plants and animals that live in them, and how to continue to keep the world healthy and a great place to live.
This year’s theme is GENERATION RESTORATION - Land Restoration, Desertification and Drought Resistance.
Students at St Joseph’s marked this day in various ways including songs, discussions and activities.
Year 5 spent time collecting rubbish within different areas of the school which will then be used in their mathematics lessons as they learn about Data. They are hoping to use the data they gather to improve the cleanliness of our playgrounds.
Mini Vinnies Winter Appeal
This year the Yr 6 Mini Vinnies team has put together a fundraiser for this year’s St Vincent De Paul Winter Appeal.
On FRIDAY 28 June (Wk 9) we are inviting EACH GRADE to bring in a non-perishable food donation. If you bring in a donation you will be allowed to wear a winter accessory - this could be a beanie, scarf, gloves, Oodie….. or all 4!
Please see the list below for your grade’s item:
| Kindergarten | Packets of biscuits (sweet or savoury) |
| Year 1 | small tins of tuna (NOT chilli please) |
| Year 2 | small packets of Deb potato |
| Year 3 | packets/cups of noodles |
| Year 4 | small packets of Weet-Bix |
| Year 5 | jars of pasta sauce |
| Year 6 | 1L cartons of Full Cream long-life milk |
All of your generous donations will be given to our local St Vincent De Paul branch at Corrimal, then distributed by them to support needy people within our local area.
We are very excited to see you warm and snuggly at school on Friday June 28, while also supporting those less fortunate than ourselves this winter.
