Beatitude for the Day
Happy are those who can be kind in understanding the attitudes of others; they may be taken for fools but that is the price of charity.
Birthday Greetings
Anika Winders, Bella Moriarty, Eva Fatafehi and Hannah Rathgen
Basketball Tournament
During the holidays, some of our Yr 7 and 8 basketballers competed in the Network Waitaki Intermediate Basketball Tournament held at the Waitaki Rec Centre. Teams from Canterbury, Otago and Westland competed in this tournament and it was an opportunity for some rep teams to have some experience. St Joseph's entered the boys development grade and due to a very tough draw where they played 4 games in one day and 2 very late night games on Friday and Saturday nights and some close games, they finished just with one win. The coach was really proud of the boys as they played really well and did not give up and she saw heaps of improvement during the tournament. We had 2 girls, Elenoa Asi and Anika Winders play for the North Otago team in which their team won the girls development grade. They had an easier road than the boys and had a couple of close games especially in the final against Mid Canterbury. Thanks to Claire Cameron for organising the boys team. This photo was taken by the Oamaru Mail.
These forms need to be returned back by tomorrow in order for entries to be sent away next week. We still require a parent to stay with the children during this tournament.
Congratulations
Please let the office know if your child has been selected for any academic, cultural or sporting activities as we would love to know about it. Email the office at office@stjoseph.school.nz

The girls played really well and had a great time. They won 3 games (5-0, 4- 0 and 2-0) drew 2 all and lost game 0 to 1. Zara Davies was the teams MVP and she also won the silver boot - 2nd highest goal scorer in the 10th grade competition). St Joseph's had Hana & Zara Davies and Annalise Kilgour playing in this team. Congratulations Zara on receiving the silver boot.
Water Safety lessons start on Monday afternoon for the junior school so please remember their togs and towel. The children will be bused to and from the pool and parent helpers are to meet at the pool. These parents will help with the changing into and out of the swimming togs. Miss Tangney/Mrs Klenner and Mrs Misiloi's classes swim at 1.30 pm and Mrs Brookes and Mrs McRae's classes swim at 2.00 pm. The lessons are about water safety, water confidence and the children will be doing some lessons but they are not the same as the after school swim lessons. Below is the timetable for parent helpers. If you cannot help on a particular day, please notify your child's teacher.
