We are coming up to the end of a very big and eventful term with sporting events, Cross Country Carnival and all the learning tasks. The preparation for Easter and fundraising for Project compassion is well on the way and it will make a difference in communities for their education and fresh water. Thank you for all your support .

Holy week is an important part of the Church’s year. It is a time to reflect on the darkness of the death of Jesus and the events and betrayal HOLY WEEK: A TIME FOR REFLECTION AND RENEWAL

As we enter Holy Week, the most sacred time in the Catholic Church, we are reminded of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice and love for humanity. This week, we journey through the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus, reflecting on its significance in our lives.

Palm Sunday – The Beginning of the Journey
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, commemorating Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Palms are blessed and distributed, symbolising the people’s praise and welcome of Christ as the Messiah. It is also a reminder that our faith journey includes both triumph and sacrifice.

Holy Thursday – The Last Supper
On Holy Thursday, we recall the Last Supper, where Jesus instituted the Holy Eucharist and demonstrated servant leadership by washing His disciples’ feet. It is a day of gratitude for the gift of the Eucharist and a call to serve others selflessly.

Good Friday – The Passion of Christ
Good Friday is a solemn day of prayer, fasting, and reflection on Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross. The Stations of the Cross are often prayed, helping us meditate on His journey to Calvary. This is a time to acknowledge the depth of Christ’s love and the redemption He offers.

Holy Saturday – A Night of Vigil
Holy Saturday is a day of waiting and anticipation. The Easter Vigil, celebrated at night, is the highlight of Holy Week. It includes the lighting of the Paschal Candle, the proclamation of salvation history, and the celebration of Christ’s victory over death.

Easter Sunday – The Joy of Resurrection
Holy Week culminates in the joy of Easter Sunday, as we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and victory over sin. It is a time of renewal, hope, and new beginnings, reminding us of the promise of eternal life.

As a school community, let us take this Holy Week as an opportunity to grow in faith, prayer, and service. May we embrace the message of love, sacrifice, and redemption, carrying it forward in our daily lives.Make it an opportunity to visit your parish and participate in this Holy Season.

Wishing you all a blessed Holy Week and a joyful Easter!

Arrive to Thrive

As you may be aware, all schools in the Diocese of Wollongong — along with schools in the public and independent sectors — are legally required to monitor and address student attendance. Our school is now operating under a revised Diocesan Attendance Policy (2025) and using the mandated DOW Compass letter templates to communicate attendance matters with families.

A key element in supporting student attendance is open and collaborative communication between school and home. As outlined in our school newsletter earlier this term, the Diocese has adopted the following attendance bands:

• Target Attendance: 95% and above
• Regular Attendance: 90% – 100%
• Targeted Intervention: 71% – 89%
• Intensive Intervention: 70% and below

We understand that many families consistently explain their child’s absences through the Compass portal, and we greatly appreciate your efforts. Whether a child is unwell, recovering from injury, or attending medical appointments, explained absences still contribute to their overall attendance rate. Additionally, partial absences such as late arrivals and early departures affect attendance, as it is now calculated based on minutes present at school rather than just full days.

It is a requirement that we notify and work with families when a student’s attendance falls into the Targeted Intervention or Intensive Intervention categories. This is not a criticism of your parenting or a dismissal of genuine reasons for absence. We are also not advocating that you send your child to school when they are unwell. Rather, it is part of our obligation to keep families informed and work together to support your child’s engagement with school where there may be barriers to their attendance.

Attendance concern emails will be sent at regular times throughout the school year using the most current attendance data. There is no immediate action required unless you are concerned about your child’s attendance and would like support — in that case, please contact your child’s PALS teacher. For students in the Intensive Intervention category, we will contact families by phone to book a time to meet and develop a tailored support plan.

We thank you for your continued partnership in promoting regular attendance. We are pleased to report a current average school attendance rate of 90.6%, a 5% improvement from last year. This means more students are in class each day, actively participating in the rich learning opportunities provided by our teachers.

Current Cohort Attendance Percentages

Being absent from school for 1 or 2 days doesn't seem like much, however, it is!

Just a little bit late for school doesn’t seem like much, it is.

 Winter Uniform Reminder - Term 2

This week’s weather has given us a taste of what’s to come as we head into the colder months. A reminder that all students will return in Term 2 wearing the full Winter Uniform.

Please take the time to check that your child’s Winter Uniform is ready for the start of Term 2. This includes:

• Ensuring all uniform items fit correctly
  
  
• Letting down skirt hems if required
  
  
• Replacing or purchasing any missing or outgrown items
  
  

Blazers are a compulsory part of the Winter Uniform for all students.

Year 12 students are permitted to wear their Year 12 Commerative Jacket on Tuesday - Friday. 

All students are expected to wear their blazer to and from school, during Monday assemblies and for all formal school events as communicated by the school.

Additional Reminders:

• Undershirts must not extend past the sleeve length of the school shirt. Students wearing visible undershirts will be asked to remove them.
  
  
• The school provides several approved options for thermal comfort: two styles of jumpers, the blazer, and an overcoat. For our climate, this is more than sufficient.
  
  
• Hoodies are not permitted as they are not part of the official school uniform.
  
  
• Boys must wear trousers (shorts are not permitted during Winter Uniform).
  
  
• Boys must wear the school tie with their top button done up.
  
  
• Girls may choose to wear either trousers or their skirt with stockings.
  
  
• PE Jackets are not permitted to be worn with the normal school uniform.
  
  

For full details, please review the Winter Uniform guidelines in our Uniform and Grooming Policy. If you have any questions or require clarification, please contact your child’s PALS teacher or the school office.

Thank you for your ongoing support in upholding our uniform standards.

Year 10 Minimum Standards Tests

As part of NESA's HSC requirements, students must meet the NESA Minimum Standards in literacy and numeracy to receive the Higher School Certificate (HSC). This means students need to complete three online tests in:

Reading – Understanding and interpreting written texts
Writing – Writing a short response to a prompt
Numeracy – Solving real-world mathematical problems

Why Are These Tests Important?

The NESA Minimum Standards Tests ensure students have the essential reading, writing, and numeracy skills needed for life after school, whether they choose further study, an apprenticeship, or work. Meeting the minimum standards is a requirement for receiving a HSC, so it is important to complete these tests as soon as possible.

When and How Do Students Complete the Tests?

Students will complete them online under exam conditions during Week 11. Tests are completed online so students need to make sure their are at school, their devices are charged and have the correct lockdown browser installed (please go to IT to confirm if you are a new student or have updated your device since NAPLAN in Yr 9).  If students do not pass a test on their first attempt, they will have opportunities to retake the tests throughout the year but our aim is to have students meet this requirement as early as possible to avoid future disruption to classes.

Test Schedule

Numeracy - Pds 1/2 Tuesday 8th April (during Maths lessons)

Reading - Pd 4 Thursday 10th April (during HSIE/PDHPE lesson)

Writing - Pds 1/2 Friday 11th April (during English lessons)

If you have any questions or need support, please contact the Curriculum Office or visit the NESA website for more details.

Year 11 Update

Last week during GROW lessons some of our Year 12 students gave a presentation to Year 11 on tips that they felt were valuable for Year 11 to support their learning both at home and at school. The presentation was very insightful given the Year 12 students were passing on the lessons they had learned and felt important for Year 11 students to take on board.

Many students appreciated their insights and immediately set about applying some of the advice offered. A copy of the presentation has been shared with Year 11 via the Year 11 classroom page. I would like to thank the Year 12 students veery much for taking the time to put their thoughts and experiences together to support our Year 11 students.

Year 7 Food Technology

Year 7 Tech A made some delicious and healthy chicken wraps.

Year 12 Food Technology

The Year 12 Food Tech class enjoyed making a yummy Chocolate Marshmallow slice.

Planetarium Incursion

This week our Year 7 cohort participated in a Planetarium Incursion in the school gym to support their learning about the Universe in Science. 

The students entered the inflatable Planetarium and were immediately awed by their new, dark, echoey environment.  As they sat and lay down to watch the show they were mesmorised as suddenly day became night and the stars above them shone down.  The students learnt about day vs night, years and the phases of the moon.  They listened to an Aboriginal story about the phases of the moon and the lessons that can be learnt from this story.  The scenery then suddenly changed to show the constellations, looking finally at the Southern Cross and how we can use it for navigation when out under the stars. 

Finally the students experience ended by watching a short film taking them on a journey through the solar system, visiting the individual planets and learning about the conditions and challenges we, as humans, would face if we were to ever visit there.    Overall a great experience by all, that enhanced our learning about all things to do with space and in particular, our solar system.

Transition and Pathways (TaPs) Lessons - Years 7 to 10

This week I held TaPs lessons with Year 7 and 10. The focus for Year 10 was the value of employability skills in today’s Jobs Market and the emphasis employers place on these skills in addition to the technical skills required for the job.

Essential employability skills include: interpersonal skills, communication, problem solving, resilience, adaptability. Year 10 were placed into house groups and instructed to complete a variety of group tasks that tested and helped develop these skills.

Students found the tasks fun and engaging, moreover, they were able to recognise how transferable those employability skills are and now understand ways to continually develop them, in preparation for the world of work.

Year 7 had their first taste of the Transition and Pathways program - I visited Year 7 classes individually to introduce the concepts of career exploration and how the journey of discovering activities, interests and hobbies they participate in align with work-based competencies.

School Sports Australia - National Triathlon Championships

Student report: Written by Bianca de Swardt

The race consisted of a 750m swim with lots of jellyfish and was mostly running and dolphin dives because the tide was very low. I managed to do a 58 second Pb off my swim, the 20km bike course was very technical with lots of U-turns, roundabouts and sharp turns and on the 5km run I managed to do a 29 second Pb off the bike. It was a fast race with some really fast and talented girls and very hot conditions.

The team event consisted of 4 team members - 2 girls and 2 boys each having to do their own individual triathlon (200m swim, 10km bike and 1.5km run). Overall we placed 6th in the senior relay.

The NSW team took home second to Queensland Maroons.

Diocesan Junior Soccer Gala Days

Boys Year 8-10 Pathways Team

The 2025 8 -10 Boys Soccer campaign started out with some exciting developments. After the 2024/25 transfer window closed, thanks to Ms Wilson, St Joey's closed two very handy transfers, on record deals, from the UK, consisting of Georgie Bennet and his younger brother Teddy.

With lots of positivity around the training sessions, the boys went into the Diocesan Soccer knockout with our heads held high and some clear goals at hand. Due to previous rain events and injuries, the 8-10 boys had not won a game in three years. Therefore, our goal for the tournament was simple, score a goal and win a game.

After the bus ride up, filled with JBL quality pump up music, as Elliot Klein described, "this feels like the Champions League Final Sir", the boys were ready to take on whatever most NPL1-filled teams could throw at us.

After a short team meeting, the starting lineup was named:

Cartwright, Klein, Smith (c), Spencer, Rutgers, Aji, Healey, Christian, Vilarinho, Santana, Bennett.

The boys faced a very tall and skillful Holy Spirit in round 1. Despite a free kick just outside the box in the first 5 minutes, the boys held composure and only conceded 2 goals, to lose 2-0.

Round 2 we drew St John's Nowra, and after their big win from round 1 we knew it would be a tough one. With some minor reinforcements added in the first half, Max Gamble put some solid work in and put pressure on the John's back line. With a late goal conceded, the boys only went down by one goal.

Round 3 we had our home derby team - Corpus Christi.

Back to the drawing board we went, heads still held high. We made some tactical changes that included a big shift from Aaron Aji in LB and some huge tackles from Kobe Healey. A close header from Aiden Smith and a shot by Georgie saw the Corpus back line trembling as if Harry Kane was lurking. Some good runs by Teddy on the wing and pressure from Chase up front had some close opportunities. We saw the game out 0-0 which enabled Holy Spirit to move into the finals over Corpus.

Round 4 we drew St Francis. Our last pool game.

We agreed in our pre game talk that this would be it, all in, 110% have a crack at our goal.

The boys stepped up, with some great defensive manoeuvres from Spence and Rutgers in the back line, a great save by Cartwright, and once again our midfield were able to transition the ball out to the wingers Georgie and Teddy/Santana.

This allowed Georgie to go 1v1 with their keeper, and like poetry in motion, the ball flew into the back of the net. It was quite the moment to witness as my whole bench flocked to the corner flag to celebrate with Georgie. Despite being in trouble from the ref for letting the bench celebrate, it almost brought a tear to the eye to see how happy they were.

It felt like a champions league final.

End result 8th

MVP: Georgie Bennett

Honourable mention: Kobe Healey

Assistant Coaches, Esky management: Sam Goodwin + Josh Thiruthanathi

Boys 13s Team

The Under 13’s soccer team had been training for a period of 5 weeks in anticipation of our big day against ten rival schools. On the 27th of March, we caught a bus bright and early at 6.45 and arrived in Raby listening to some inspiring tunes provided by the 8-10 boys. We started by dominating our first game against Corpus Christi (2,0). We did not have as much luck for the rest of the day and conceded 8th place overall in the competition. The boys played very well, showing good pace and some good use of tactics. MVP goes to Hayden Attard, who saved some excellent goals, some right in the face of opponents.  A special mention goes to Preston Tanevski, Issac Stoneham and Lachlan Sail, who continuously set up plays and Sam Whyte for leading the defence. Well done!

Girls Year 8-9 Pathways Team

What an outstanding day our 8-9 Pathways team had down at Ison Park, Nowra last week at the Diocesan Junior Girls Soccer Gala Day. These girls trained hard for this event and their teamwork was phenomenal on the field. Our first game we played Mt Carmel and won 2-1. We then moved on to verse St Pats where an early goal to Joey’s built the confidence of the girls, but unfortunately St Pat’s stayed strong and committed and ended up winning game 2 3-1. The girls were anxious for our third game against close rivalries Corpus Christi. The standard these girls lifted for this game was incredible and we ended up on a 0-0 draw. Going into our final Pool game our girls were in 2nd place (for Pool B) and needed to get a win to move into the semi-final. Unfortunately we ended up in a 1-1 draw against St Francis.

This led us to being tied 2nd with Corpus Christi who ended up moving into the Semi Finals as they had less points scored against them over the day. Our girls then moved into the 5th vs 6th playoff against St Mary’s where they scored 2 quick goals against us. With a position move for Lucinda Akele from Left Wing to Left Back, she was able to assist in defending and also score a goal at the start of second half to put our hopes of winning back up there. Unfortunately we couldn’t get one last goal to get us there, but the girls never gave up and their positive attitude the entire day was amazing to watch and witness.

I am so proud of how hard they worked as a team and supported each other on the field (a lot playing out of position). This was one of our best results at this diocesan day (In 2023, we placed 9th overall) which shows the progress our team has made. A huge congratulations to Madelynne Crawford and Kirsti Hobbin (not soccer players) who both scored goals on the day in our Pool games. I would also like to commend our defenders who played tirelessly all day (Stacey Rayias, Isabella Oanea, Tehani Aperau-Bob, Hayley Frendo & Sienna Poidevin) as well our Lucinda Akele who was our lead goal scorer and played outstanding in every game to cover as much ground as possible. Lucinda has been awarded our MVP. Well done girls, I am so proud of you all.

Thank you to Amelia Porter, Amy Jedrzejczak for coaching on the day as well as Indianna Hiscocks who assisted in Term 4 and Term 1 with training. Also thank you to Johan, Jacob, Kane and Matthew who assisted as Linesman and Refs on the day.

Girls 13s Team

Having been my first time taking a representative team away I would like to mention a few outstanding things that happened at the Gala Day. Firstly , the attitude and the way the girls went about the day. They all turned up in complete sports uniform, never were in the wrong place and not once did I have to chase any players to be on time during the very tight scheduled day.

Secondly, the way they conducted themselves on the field. They always were respectful to refs, players and any spectators no matter the score win,lose or draw. Lastly the way that they behaved on the bus trip to and from school leaving early and arriving late for a normal school day, they took it in their stride and this just added to a wonderful day had by the team in their achievement and elevated my belief that the school has wonderful spirit and students to represent St Joseph's. Well done girls.

MVP - Lilly Partridge
