Home and School
Disco
Thanks to all the children who came last Friday evening to our disco which was well supported. It was great to see lots of children dressed up and especially to Michael Misiloi who orchestrated the music and the dancing.
Thank you
A big thank you to all of our school community for all your help and support throughout the year and a very big thank you to our hard working committee for all their work they do to help our school. Have a lovely and restful holiday and we look forward to next year where our first big event is the Whitestone Wipeout in March. - Thank you Rebecca Heffernan - Chairperson.
Lost Property
Please come and have a look at the huge amount of lost property outside the hall. If it is not claimed, it will be resold back to the Uniform Shop.
Sports
Archery - St Kevin's College runs an archery course on a Tuesday afternoon at 3.30 pm under the dining room area. If you are interested, please let Mrs Brien know. (The town bus leaves St Joseph's and goes to St Kevin's College so the children would have a ride there)
Cricket and Touch teams - notices will come out in the first week of term 1 regarding these sports.
School Stationery
All class stationery lists are on the website for 2019.
If you purchase your child's stationery from OfficeMax online at: myschool.co.nz you will be able to purchase at their very low Back to School Discount prices which are available now until 28th February.
Alternatively you can purchase packs online from www.paperplus.co.nz/back-to-school or in store at Oamaru Paper Plus. If you already have certain parts of the stationery list, contact Paper Plus Oamaru who will organise a custom made pack for you.
Both companies enable parents to purchase their children's stationery at lower prices and both companies will make a donation to St Joseph's.
St Kevin's High Performance PE unit
Last Friday, Elenoa Asi, Campbell Fowler, Sebastian Spillane Michael Woodhouse were invited to St Kevin's College to attend a high performance PE unit where they listened to motivational speakers David Nyika (2 times NZ Gold Commonwealth Boxing Champion) and Niko Mannix ( a young man who got run over by a truck and broke his neck) They learnt about what it takes to succeed and how much hard work is involved to follow your dreams. These students will be part of the Yr 9 high performance PE group next year. Photos courtesy of St Kevin's College.
