Congratulations and Good Luck
Good luck to Levi & Stirling Heffernan, Elias & Neight Fraser and Eva Fatafehi who are competing on behalf of our school at the Otago Primary Schools swimming championships in Dunedin on Saturday.
To Cody Marshall who made the North Otago U15 boys basketball team. Cody is only 12 years old and will be playing against boys who will be turning 14 this year so a great effort. They are playing a pre-game tournament in the holidays in Dunedin and the U15 regional tournament in Invercargill later on this year.

Buried
Rubbish: Alex Kiwi Class
Last
week we buried rubbish. We buried bread, banana skin, orange peels,
apple
cores, chip packets and glad wrap.
The
bread was good for the environment because it was starting to decompose.
All
the things that were starting to decompose were food things. Apple cores,
bread,
banana skins, orange peels.
The
bad things for the environment were the glad wrap and chip packets because they
stayed exactly the same.
North Otago Pastoral Services in partnership with local farmers ran the Poncho Schools Seed Treatment promotion again last year where they donate $5.00/ha for any we seed treat with Poncho to a school of their client's choice. This week our school received a cheque for $370.00 from this promotion due to our school being selected by their farming clients. Thank you to the families who have chosen St Joseph's as their school of choice.
