Burns Memorial Art Virtual Exhibition

Congratulations
Basketball - a big congratulations to Cody Marshall who received the overall North Otago Basketball Most Valuable Player award for the Yr 7 & 8 competition. He was selected out from all the boys who play in this grade and is a well deserved recipient. (St Joseph's have been lucky enough to have this award two years running!!)
Cody has also played U15 rep basketball for North Otago and will be able to trial for the same age group again next year or Otago if there is no North Otago team.
Netball - well done to our Yr 8 netball team who received the North Otago Fair Play Award. This award was given to the St Joseph's Gold team who showed resilience and Fair Play towards other teams this season. This trophy is awarded to only one team out of all those who play netball on a Saturday.
Rugby - congratulations to two of our rugby teams, the 9 & 10 year old and the 11 & 12 year old teams who both won their respective grades this season. The 11/12 year olds won all their games and the 9/10 year olds lost one and drew one. Both of these teams play a fast style of rugby and there were some speedy runners in both teams. Thanks to the players who came from other schools to help field teams this year.
During the 2018 calf season, a number of dairy farmers in our community elected our school to receive a donation of $.50 per calf of every calf received by their local processor Oamaru Meats Ltd. Through the generosity of these dairy farmers, they are thrilled to donate a payment of $165.00 to support the children in our school.
Oamaru Meats Ltd in partnership with BXFOODS is proud to support the local community and its future generations and recognises it is sometimes hard to find funds. They are doing it again this year and encourage you to nominate St Joseph's when they process calves with Oamaru Meats Ltd this year. Thank you Oamaru Meats Ltd and BXFOODS.
Food Fair
Our annual Food Fair is on Sunday 20th October and the Home and School are busy getting things organised. In order for it to be another successful day, they would like volunteers/helpers to help out on the day as some stalls at this stage do not have anyone running them. They also need crock pots and rice cookers to be donated for the day. Meals will be served from 12.00 pm onwards and it is finished by 2.00 pm. If you can help out on this day, please let Rebecca Heffernan know on 027 432 4056 or contact the office. Further information will be available in next week's newsletter.
Gymnastic Competition
Our school will not be competing in the Top School's Gymnastic competition this year but there is a Club Recreational Competition run by the Pathfinders Gymnastic Club being held on Saturday 21st September in the Drill Hall. This competition is open to recreational children only (no competitive or ex competitive children). Entry fee is $10.00, spectators gold coin and this is payable on the day before competition starts.
The routine is the same one that gymnasts have done for the Top School's gymnastic competition. This is not organised by the school and it is up to families to enter the children. If you want a copy of the routine, we have one at school.
Attached to the email is a flyer regarding this competition, start times and what to wear.
Immunisations
Last week we sent out a letter regarding the measles outbreak and if we did not have a copy of your immunisation certificate we requested a copy of it. Thank you to the parents who have given us a copy of the certificate or let us know that there child is not vaccinated. There is still a number of families who have not advised us of their children's status and we need this information asap because if there was a case of measles at school, all children whom we don't have a record for would be sent home for 10 days during this period.
You can get a copy of your child's Immunisation Status from your doctor.
Lost Property
Willow Bartlett has lost her new named polar fleece (thicker polar fleece) so can everyone please check your child's fleeces to see if they have picked it up by mistake.
There is also a large number of older style polar fleeces and lost property in the foyer. Please check to see if it belongs to you otherwise it will be given to the Uniform Shop or Salvation Army at the end of term (two weeks time).
