2022 Kindergarten and Year 1 Cross Country and Tabloid Event

Our Kindergarten and Year 1  School Cross Country and Tabloid Event was held on Friday. It was a wonderful opportunity to gather as a school community in support of every student. Each student participated in true St Joseph’s spirit, striving for their best and supporting and encouraging their peers. It was a great day! 

Congratulations to all the students who participated. Every student showed great determination and sportsmanship throughout the day. A very special thank you to all the parents and friends who supported the students and staff. 

Special thank you to the staff and Year 6 Sport Committee for their generosity of time and effort before, during and after the carnival. These events take time to prepare and everything is done to benefit the students at St Joseph’s. 

Congratulations to the following Age Champions: 

Congratulations to the top 3 place getters in Kindergarten and Year 1. These students received ribbons and age champion medals on the day.

Netball and Soccer Gala Day Cancellations 

Catholic Education Office Wollongong's leadership team has made a decision that all gala days set for the near future are to be cancelled. The levels of staff and student absenteeism are at extreme levels so all non-pathway sport is suspended. Therefore, the soccer gala days set for Friday 29 July (including the backup on Friday 12 August) have been cancelled. This is unfortunate as the gala days, as you know, are so valued and enjoyed by our students in a time when exercise and activity are so important. It is, however, most important to consider the widespread nature of current illness and absenteeism and the predicted forecast that this pattern will continue over the next month or so. 

Athletics, being a pathway event, will continue as planned with regional carnivals and selection trials as advertised on the CEDoW Sports web.
