Multicultural Day
We celebrated a fantastic multicultural day on Tuesday. We loved welcoming our families to lunch and to our afternoon performances. The performances were wonderful and I am still impressed with the older children's Filipino dance - the intricacy of the footwork was incredible. We have 16 different cultural backgrounds represented at St Joseph's and we are very lucky to have access to this depth and beauty brought from all over the world.
Tabloid Sports
Our year 8 leaders have had an outstanding year of leadership. This has been particularly notable in the House leadership, the group meetings, singing cup preparation and tournaments led by our leaders this year.
They did a great job of their last big leadership job last week with the tabloid sports. It was a lovely day which everyone enjoyed.
Year 7 & 8 interchange with St Joseph's Timaru
Our year 7 & 8s went to Timaru this week to do their annual interchange with St Joseph's in Timaru. This is a great opportunity for them to meet other young people engaged in Catholic education. They went to Caroline Bay and played beach-themed sports followed up by the pool and hydro slide at C Bay.
