St Joseph’s took a team strong team of 67 students and it was so great to see so many students putting themselves in the mix for the podium. Some great highlights were Caiden Judd’s and Christian Oanea’s enthusiasm to assist in any extra events, Archie on rubbish clean up for our school area (he took the lead on looking after the environment which was so great to see).
