Religious Education & Pastoral Care 

First Reconciliation

A massive congratulations to the wonderful young people of St Joseph's who received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time last Wednesday. It was one of the largest groups we have had for quite a few years! The children are to be congratulated for their reverence, commitment to their preparation and the wonderful focus and celebration of the act of forgiveness. Thank you to all the families for supporting all the children in such a beautiful man. 

Holy Week Liturgies

All our classes are busily learning about and preparing to lead the school in Holy Week liturgies next week. 

Kindergarten will lead us for Palm Sunday whilst our Year 1 & 2 will concentrate on the events of the Last Supper. Stage 2 are focusing on recounting the main parts of the Garden of Gethsemene story and our Stage 3 will re-enact the Good Friday story. A huge thank you to all our class teachers for preparing our young people with such care and dedication for this significant time in the Catholic faith.

Class masses for Term 2

Our first school mass for Term 2 will be Friday, 9 May at 10.15am (the end of Week 2). This will be our annual Mother's Day celebration which will include a special morning tea for all our mums, grandmums, Aunties and special women in our lives. All are most welcome to join us for this very special event which will see the mass organised and led by our Year 3 & 4 class along with Morning tea run by our student leadership team.

Easter Message

I wish all our families every blessing of the Easter Season; stay safe and enjoy these precious times with your beautiful young people. I look forward to seeing everyone back in term 2.
