This weekend, we wish our Year Six students the very best as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. As a school community, we will continue to keep them—and their families and sponsors—in our prayers. We invite you to join us in the prayer below.

Loving God,
We give thanks for our Confirmation students as they prepare for this important step in their faith journey this weekend.
Send your Holy Spirit to guide and strengthen them, filling their hearts with wisdom, courage, and joy.
May they grow in love for You and in service to others, living as true witnesses of Christ in the world.

Bless their families, teachers, and sponsors who walk beside them with care and encouragement.
Grant that this sacred day may deepen their faith and inspire them to follow Jesus with open hearts.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Three stars shine at the Archdiocesan Public Speaking Competition!!

We were thrilled to have three students—Sasha Hans, Carter Wykes and Bonaventure Williams—represent the Northern Region and St Joseph’s Goulburn at the Archdiocesan Public Speaking Competition. Travelling to Sacred Heart Central School, Cootamundra, they represented St Joseph's and the Region exceptionally well. We’re delighted to share that Sasha and Bonaventure each received first place. We’re incredibly proud of Sasha, Carter and Bon's  hard work, courage, and commitment. Congratulations to all three, and thank you to the staff and families who supported their preparation.

Visit from our Executive Director

We were delighted to welcome our Executive Director, Mr David De Carvahlo, to St Joseph’s last week. He visited classrooms across the school and was impressed by the rich learning on display. He commented on the high-impact teaching occurring in our classes and enjoyed engaging conversations with both staff and students. We thank Mr De Carvahlo for his time and encouragement.

Walkathon—thank you & final reminders

Thank you to the families who have already supported our Walkathon, helping us raise funds for a new PA system and gazebos. We’re looking forward to next Thursday when we’ll make our way to North Park for a day of fun activities, teamwork, and fundraising.

Reminders:

• Students are to wear their sports uniform including school hat on the day.

• A BBQ lunch will be provided.

• Please return donations by Thursday next week.

• If any parent or carer is able to assist our staff on the day, ie with the BBQ or support with activities please let the front office know. Your support is always greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your ongoing support!

We look forward to this Friday's 5B Assembly

Kinder Blue’s first assembly — bravo!

Congratulations to our wonderful Kinder Blue students and Miss Wellings on their very first assembly. Our youngest learners showed great courage stepping up to the microphone and speaking so clearly. Highlights included energetic action songs, a beautiful prayer inspired by St Brigid, and thoughtful presentations of their learning—including reflections from our 100 Days of Kindergarten celebration. We’re so proud of their confidence, teamwork, and joy. Well done, Kinder Blue! Further congratulations to Beau on receiving his Leadership Badge, to James and Hazel on their Principal’s Award, and to all other award recipients on the day. We’re very proud of you all!

On Air With Eagle FM

We recently had more of our students reading the weather on Eagle FM. It was wonderful to hear Chelsea share her experiences in representative hockey, and Bonaventure offer tips on what makes a great public speaker. Both did a fantastic job—clear, confident, and engaging. Well done!

  

May God bless you and your families
