Let's Hang It! Exhibition

Last Friday, Jack and his family attended the 'Let's Hang It' awards ceremony at NERAM in Armidale. Whilst Jack did not receive a formal placing in the Primary School section, his recognition as a finalist out of 500 entries is an outstanding achievement and one that the St. Joseph's School community is very proud of! Jack's artwork 'Fred', is on exhibition at NERAM until Sunday 14th August. If you get a chance one weekend, we highly recommend a visit to Armidale to view Jack's artwork and the range of finalists from Kindergarten to Year 12. 

 

People's Choice Award

Alongside the formal judging, there is also a 'People's Choice Award'. The voting for this award is open until Sunday 14th August and can be done online using this link:

To vote for Jack's artwork, complete the form with your name and email and then enter the number '23' for the chosen artwork. We encourage all of our families to vote for Jack's artwork and spread the word to our wider community!

The Coolamon Challenge

Congratulations to Rosie and Eden who were last week's winners of the yummy Coolamon voucher. 

This week's challenges are:

Infants: I am a bird with wings. I do not fly. I am black and white. What am I? 

Primary: With four oars I swim, but I’m always at home. My back is like armor, tougher than chrome. What am I? 

Goodluck!
