Bake Sale

St Joseph's School is running a Bake Sale on Tuesday 19th September from 3.00 to 3.30 pm outside the school hall. We are looking for devoted bakers or donations of cakes, cupcakes, biscuits, bars, brownies or breads!

All proceeds are going towards a new computer for the library. If you would like to donate a cake or treat, please drop these items off at the hall kitchen by 8.30 am on Tuesday 19th. Please put your treat in a container or tray that does not need to be returned to you. Also, kindly remember that we have nut and sesame allergies in our school so keep this in mind when donating items for this fundraiser.

Please name the baking item so we know what type of baking it is.

“We are still looking for dedicated volunteers to help us with the organising of setting up tables and/or the booth, selling, collecting money, and cleaning up. Please email Miss Sollano at ssollano@stjoseph.school.nz or the office at office@stjoseph.school.nz if you are available that day.”

There will be NO eftpos, so please bring cash on the day.

Book Fair Week

The Book Fair starts this Monday 18th to Wednesday 20th September from 3.00 to 3.30 pm.  The venue has changed from the STEAM room to the first office on the right-hand side in the junior school. There are cash and eftpos facilities.  A Book Fair flyer will be handed out to the children today.

Book Character Dress Up Day

Our school celebrates our love for literacy by having a character parade in the hall and we invite you to come! The parade starts at 9.15am on Tuesday 19th September.  Come dressed up as your favourite book character.
