Important Reminders
Hair Expectations
As we continue to strive for high standards of presentation and respect within our school community, we would like to remind all families of the hair grooming expectations outlined in St Joseph’s Uniform and Grooming Policy. This policy reflects our commitment to fostering an environment of unity, pride, and respect among our students.
Key Guidelines:
Tied Back for Length: Hair that falls below the collar must be neatly tied back to maintain a polished appearance.
Natural Color: If students choose to color their hair, only natural tones are acceptable.
Face Visibility: Hair should be styled off the face so that the student’s eyes are clearly visible, ensuring that hairstyles remain neat and do not obstruct vision.
Prohibited Styles: To avoid drawing undue attention, styles such as "tracks," "rats' tails," mullets, extreme parting, undercuts, or extensions are not permitted.
General Grooming: Hair should be maintained in a clean and well-groomed state, reflecting a professional appearance.
Facial Hair: Senior boys (10-12) must keep facial hair well-groomed, while junior boys (7-9) are expected to be clean-shaven.
We greatly appreciate your support in ensuring these standards are followed. By adhering to these guidelines, we can continue to foster a sense of pride and belonging within our school community. If you have any questions or need clarification on any aspect of the grooming policy, please feel free to speak with your childs PALS.
Mobile Phones and Air Pods
As part of our commitment to fostering a focused and respectful learning environment, we remind families of St Joseph's Catholic High School’s Electronic Communication Device (ECD) Policy. This policy helps minimise distractions, support student wellbeing, and maintain the integrity of our learning spaces.
Many schools in NSW require students to lock their phones in special pouches each morning, preventing access until they’re unlocked at the end of the school day. At St Joseph's, we have chosen not to implement this procedure, instead trusting our students to adhere to our Electronic Communication Device (ECD) Policy.
Key Guidelines:
Devices Off and Away: Students must turn off all electronic devices, including phones and headphones, and store them in their bags upon entering school grounds. Devices should remain off and out of sight until 2:40 p.m.
Limited Exceptions: ECDs may only be used for educational purposes with teacher permission. For purchasing food at the canteen, devices may be used briefly at the Canteen, but must be turned off and put away immediately afterward.
Prohibited Uses: Devices should not be used during class time, exams, or formal assessments. Smartwatches are also prohibited in assessments, as their presence may be considered malpractice.
Contacting Students: If parents need to reach students during school hours, please contact the school office at (4230 8500). Students should not use their devices to contact family during school hours.
Consequences for Policy Breaches:
First Confiscation: The device will be confiscated, secured in the office, and logged. Parents are notified via email, and students may retrieve the device at the end of the school day.
Second Confiscation: The student will receive a Playground Withdrawal in addition to confiscation.
Third Confiscation: The device will be kept until a parent collects it, and the student will be assigned an After School Community Service.
Ongoing breaches will result in additional disciplinary measures, including suspension and daily device check-ins with school administration.
Your support in reinforcing these expectations is invaluable and helps us maintain a productive environment for all students.
Congratulations to Yr 12 who complete their HSC exams today.
We now sit back and wait for their results to be released in mid December. A reminder to Year 12 students that their CEO Destination and SJCHS Exit surveys need to be completed before sign out day. Please check compass and school emails for further details.
Year 11
It has been a busy few weeks for Year 11. Alongside starting HSC courses a number of students have had one (or in some cases two) HSC exam to prepare for as part of our Pathways program. Other students have been busy undertaking placement as part of their VET courses.
The HSC Assessment manual has been shared with students. This year we are trying a new process by having the manual ‘live’ on our school website. Students and families are strongly encouraged to access the manual and review the contents to familiarise themselves with all the NESA and school requirements around HSC assessment. In particular the dates scheduled for all HSC assessment tasks for the coming year. A reminder that absence due to family holidays etc are generally not considered valid reasons for not completing an assessment task.
Students should also be in the preparation phase for the first round of HSC assessments that are scheduled across the last 3 weeks of term for most subjects.
Stage 4 and 5 Assessment Weeks
Year 10 have their formal assessment week, Year 9 have theirs next week. A reminder that school work and assessment can and will continue in all classes until the end of the year. In terms of finalising grades formal assessments are important but not the only means of finalising grades for the semester. Everything students do in class counts, including informal tasks, class observations, completion of classwork etc can and do contribute to the formation of a students final grade.
Year 11 Hospitality and Year 12 Cookery ll
Year 11 Hospitality and Year 12 Cookery ll students have completed their pre prep lessons, crumbing lots of mozarella sticks to be frozen and deep fried. This was Year 12 Cookery's 5th service period this year and they served staff platters of Tapas on Wednesday. This is part of the competency assessment TASK 4.








Year 9 Food Technology
It was great to see the Year 9 students decorating their vanilla cupcakes. They took a lot pride in their work.



















Over the past two weeks I have met with a number of Year 12 students individually to learn their story, their aspirations and explore their post-school pathways. So far, the students I have engaged with have a strong understanding of themselves, the opportunities available to them and have demonstrated a mature and considered approach to planning their next move. My aim is to meet with each Year 12 student individually, in person, by the end of this term.
On Wednesday, 6 November, James Terry, from the University of Wollongong, visited the Year 12 cohort to discuss upcoming events, namely: UOW Summer Master Class 2025, Maths and Physics support lessons, and UOW Discovery Days in 2025. Information for the first two events can be found below. Details for the UOW Discovery Day will follow in due course, however, I can confirm that our allocated date to attend is Tuesday 18 February 2025.
Thank you to those students and parents who have begun following the SJCHS Careers Instagram and Facebook pages. Information for upcoming Careers events and important dates will be posted via both platforms.

Trivia Night Thankyou
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT! I am beyond thankful to our St Joseph’s community for the contribution, support and generosity to this event. Last Friday night, we held the trivia fundraiser for the 2025 sporting team programs and it was great to see everyone in their best dressed sporting outfits. The night featured 6 rounds of trivia with a heads and tails competition, 3 point basketball challenge, best dressed and coin toss.
Some highlights of the night were teacher Mrs Foster taking out the best dressed in her finest Ice Hockey outfit (missing a tooth) with tough competition from our Sumo wrestler. We also had some tough competition in the 3pt basketball challenge where a signed Hawks jersey was up for grabs. Teacher Mrs Musgrave came swooping in with a basket on her first shot and moved into the final rounds of the competition, unfortunately she couldn’t grab the win but it was great to see her skill and talent in the basketball department.
This night could not have run the way it did without the support of my fellow staff Nicole Robinson, Sue Easter and Jenna Attard who were phenomenal in getting this night up and running. Shoutout to Kerry Sweeney who also assisted with organisation on the night and Chris Shelton for his support and great raffle drawing skills. I would also like to thank all the staff who attended on the night or bought raffle tickets to support this event.
A massive thanks goes to the greater community outside of St Joseph’s for their contribution and donations to this night to make some amazing raffle prizes and overall trivia prizes. Altogether we had a raffle of 12 prizes worth over $3000 and it was great to see so many winners present on the night it was drawn. Our winning trivia table ended up taking home over $600 worth of prizes.
The final tally has come in with around $4000 raised all going toward our sporting teams for 2025. This was such a great effort by all and good news is…..WE ARE BACK IN 2025!
Girls AFL
What a phenomenal day out with the girls who have been working so hard in training to improve their skills. With only 2 of the 15 girls having played AFL it was great to see the girls take on a new sport. Highlights of the day included seeing our netball girls, Halle Bryson and Libby Knight take on the ruck whilst Emma-Lee Sutton featured as back up ruck and displayed incredible defence skills in the backs.
Emily Hollingsworth and Addison Doherty worked hard through the centres and forwards and were crucial to our game successes on the day. Our first game was against John Therry where we claimed a comfortable win and it was a good introduction to the game for our girls. We then played against Corpus Christi which was a nervous start for the girls, but once we got started they stuck to the game plan and came out on top. In our third game we faced off against the strong St Mary’s side and whilst they were too good to beat we were one of the highest scoring teams against them. This left us to face Holy Spirit in our last game of the pool. It was a close game but in the end our girls were too strong and worked together to claim the win. This placed us 2nd in our pool with St Marys on top.
After some delivery of ice blocks from the wonderful Aperau-Bob family, the girls were pumped to play against St Patrick’s in the semi final to make the grand final. Our girls started strong with Emily working hard to get the ball up to our end to score. The St Pat’s team showed some class in this game to stay calm and ended up taking the win. This left us in the final play off of the day against St John’s, unfortunately our girls were exhausted and whilst they got some points on the board we unfortunately could not get the win.
Overall, the girls have come such a long way improving on their results from last year’s carnival and placing 4th overall in the Diocese. I am one very very proud coach and it has been a pleasure teaching these girls and seeing them grow in their confidence to take on this game.
MVP - Emily Hollingsworth
Boys AFL
The gala day for AFL was held at Dalton Park on Monday the 28th of October. The team consisted of the following players Callum Attard, Jake Burling, Deakin Cook, Max Elliott, Mason Hili, Mandela Moore, Anthony Millan, James Millan, Jake Primmer, Josh Sail, Chase Smith, Ben Street, Mitchell Whalan and Noah Worth.
The team was led by Deakin Cook, the most experienced player, whose skill and effort were on display for the four matches played. Ben Street didn’t stop trying, displaying skills in all the aspects of the game, across several positions. The athletic abilities of Callum Attard, Mason Hili, Josh Sail and Chase Smith helped the team to be able to adapt to the windy conditions and the fast-paced matches.
Jake Primmer, Anthony and James Millan and Mitchell Whalan all adapted their rugby league skills to AFL well throughout the day. Their defensive skills and kicking ability were on show in the trying conditions with some big hits carried out.
The height of Jake Burling, Max Elliot, Noah Worth and Mandela Mboro were an advantage in contested marks and possessions. Jake Burling showed very good skills learnt from basketball to win most of the clearances from the centre and intercepted possessions during general play. Max Elliott showed very good determination in defence saving numerous goals and accuracy with kicking.
The team lost two close matches against Holy Spirit (winners of the competition) and John Therry with another loss against St Johns. The boys all gathered in a huddle before the last match and to the surprise of some spectators, prayed the Our Father. The boys played with passion and improved skill and come off with a resounding win against Mt Carmel. A thanks to Pacey and Tasha Moylan for scoring and helping umpire throughout the day. A big thank you to Mr Bowers who trained the team leading up to the event.

Blues Tag
14s Girls
It was a lovely day at Croome Road on Tuesday for the U14's Blues Tag competition. The girls started their first game against Dapto strong, holding off the offence for majority of the game. First try of the day by Ruby Evans resulting in a 4-4 draw. The second game against Illawarra Sports High was a tough one but the girls stayed strong on their defence with some great tags by Lani Graham and intercepts by Jayda Stringer. We gained our confidence back in the third game against Figtree coming out with a 12-0 win with tries from Ruby and Scarlet Richardson, again with great defence from the whole team. Unfortunately we walked away with a loss in our last game against the second Dapto team but the girls kept their spirits high the entire day. A huge congratulations to all the girls on their team for their sportsmanship and teamwork throughout the day.
MVP: Scarlet Richardson
16s Girls
The 16s Girls Blues Tag team put on an impressive display to finish 2nd overall against 9 schools from the Illawarra, showcasing skill, determination, and teamwork. Throughout the competition, they remained undefeated in four big matches defeating Woonona High School, Figtree High School, Dapto High School and Illawarra Sports High School, demonstrating their dominance and resilience on the field. Their flawless run to the final highlighted the team cohesion and their ability to listen to captains Mia Tarlinton and Emily Hollingsworth.
Entering the final with high momentum, they faced a challenging match against Holy Spirit College but gave it their all, showcasing a strong competitive spirit. Although they ultimately took second place, their impressive journey to the final highlighted their potential and growth as a team with the majority of the team in Year 9 and another year to play together next year.
Whilst I filled in on the day for Mr Hetherington, I was so lucky to witness these girls and their games. It was a real privilege to see them grow in confidence and self-belief and their positive vibes were incredible to be around. Special shout out and thanks goes to Lilly Mowbray and Brianna Memmo who were great assistants on the day motivating the girls and running messages to them. Jobs not done girls…onwards to 2025!
MVP: Emily Hollingsworth
Berg Shield Round 2 - St Joey’s vs St Paul’s GreyStanes
On the 25th of October our Junior boys Cricket side took on St Paul's from Greystanes for Round 2 of the Berg Shield.
It was a beautiful sunny day in Sydney and captain Cody won the toss and followed coaches orders and bowled first. The boys put up a solid effort, with Sam and Mitch opening strong and Ben Malony and Zac tightening things up. St Paul's reached 1-121 after 20 overs. The boys held their ground in the field and the scoring never really got away from us.
Our batting chase began with fire, as Ben Gooda and Cody powered us to 0-52 off 6 overs. But things got tense with Cody and Ben falling in quick succession. Lucas Glover and Mitch steady the ship but we found ourselves at 5-97 with 5 overs left. Sam then came in and played a great innings to see the boys home. Sam finished with 27 runs off not many balls and we won the game with an over to spare.
It was a great game and a great win. Never easy to travel to Sydney and come away with a win. Congratulations to all players and thank you to Mr Moran for driving the bus.

Marshall House
Marshall has achieved a lot this last year. I am proud of what we have achieved and who we are as a house. Our house value is ‘Courage’. As the underdogs of 2023, we emerged as the prime contender for the house cup with only 60 points difference between us and this year's victors Kembla. We achieved the highest number of merits in the classroom, donated and gave to others in need and contributed the most amount of amount of time back to the school community. This was achieved through a dedication to ourselves and others. We are not just a house but a collection of vibrant opportunists each striving to achieve our aspirations. Moving forward we have been delivered a challenge. Continue our amazing progress, evolve and rise to new challenges and win the house cup for 2025. Below is an introduction to this year's highly competent Marshall House leaders.
Tamara Frendo
What do you believe makes Marshall unique?
Over the past 2 years, we have seen Marshall develop into a strong community, not only is this evident in the points and improvement we were able to see in the previous house cup but within the efforts and engagements of Marshall students and teachers. Our academic achievements along with the number of merits and principal awards set us apart from the rest and drive our success.
Describe Marshall in three words.
Enthusiastic, Easy-going, Generous
Kelsey May
What do you believe makes Marshall unique?
Marshall is an underdog and while it may not seem that we work hard Marshall is a community and is a place of support. We may not win carnivals but the participation of so many people and activities in our school community allows Marshall to be a constant which is what makes Marshall unique.
Describe Marshall in three words.
Resilient, bright, hardworking
Phoenix Hiscocks
What do you believe makes Marshall unique?
Marshall is a passionate house, constantly striving to achieve each year. As the underdogs, we continue to outwork and outclass our opposing houses continuously putting in our best effort. Our academic achievements as well as our ongoing commitment to carnivals, drive us forward and closer to victory.
Describe Marshall in three words.
Motivated, Committed and Proud
As A Team
What are your goals for Marshall this year?
Together as a Marshall community, it is more than winning a competition. While everybody would like to win, there are other reasons the house system exists. It's about community, and all three of us (Kelsey, Phoenix, and Tamara) want our goal this year to improve the St Joey’s community and encourage not only participation but enthusiasm to be a part of Marshall.

Year 7 2025 Orientation Day
On Wednesday 30 October, 14 stage 4 students attended the My Future Matters day at the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre at UOW.
We started the day with a welcome to all the schools before splitting off into small groups to attend different sections of the Uni, getting a taste of a variety of different courses available for them to study in the future.
Students were shown things like biomedical sciences where they got to see how Science is used to overcome injury particularly in athletes, ecology where they were able to make terrariums and learn about the amazing features of moss in Antarctica, journalism where they were invited to discuss social issues that they would be able to report on in 15 years, Law where they held a mock trial of a case and Chemistry where they got to make their own soap and build a volcano. After lunch students all came back together for cultural activities and to end the day.
Overall, it was a great day out with the students getting to learn and be inspired for their own future endeavors. A big congratulations to Ocean McMurdo and Christina Robson who won their competition for changing the Coat of Arms!












Year 7 Camp - The Big Adventure!
Year 7 camp this year was an unforgettable adventure for everyone involved! From the moment we stepped off the bus and took in the fresh, open air, the excitement was contagious. The Tops provided the perfect environment for students to try new things, push personal boundaries, and take on challenges that encouraged growth and resilience.
For many, camp was all about pushing comfort zones. Whether it was tackling the high ropes course, braving the survivor course, or jumping in the leap of faith, every activity offered a thrilling chance to overcome fears. Students were encouraged to take safe risks, testing their limits and discovering new strengths. The challenge of these activities fostered an environment where students could learn how capable they truly are and build confidence that will serve them well long after camp ends.
One of the most valuable aspects of camp was building resilience. Not every activity was easy; some required perseverance and determination to get through. Learning to keep going in the face of difficulty or uncertainty is a skill that builds resilience, and camp gave everyone plenty of chances to practice. As students tackled each challenge, they found new ways to encourage one another, often shouting cheers or offering a helping hand, which made the successes even sweeter.
Beyond the physical challenges, camp was also an incredible opportunity for building friendships and forming deeper connections. Away from the usual classroom environment, students were able to interact in new ways, finding common ground, sharing laughter, and bonding over shared meals and experiences.
We were very appreciative of all the teachers and SSO's that were able to come and make camp a very enjoyable experience for Year 7 (even if it was being pulled up the giant swing by a group of strong Year 7 students)!
