St Joseph's Primary Trivia Night success

16th November 2022

St Joseph’s Primary School

 Last Sunday 4 students received the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Congratulations to Arley Crowley, Ava Hall, Christina Eddington and Nevaeh Griffiths.

Thank you to all in the Barraba community for supporting our Schools Fundraising Committee at the Trivia Night. Special thanks to the Golf Club for hosting us and to the hard work of the committee members. Thanks also to Mrs Justine Harris who led the quiz and entertained the audience. Thank you to our sponsors, Hart Rural Agencies, Stock and Crop, Babes in the Bush and Saunders Fruit and Veg. The Christmas Gifts table came out on top, with years of experience no doubt contributing to the win! The Beach Party table won the best presented table, while Eleisha Outridge won best dressed on the night. Sam McDouall was the winner of the 100 club for a weekend in Port Macquarie, which was kindly donated by Justine and Dan Harris.

On Friday 11/11/22, Years 4,5 and 6 put together a Remembrance Day commemoration for the school. Students told the story of Remembrance Day and its significance. We observed a minute silence and handed out poppies to everyone at school.

Over the past few weeks a number of students have been involved in a resilience building program. Students have been developing a growth mindset with positive energy, knowing that they can achieve if they have the right approach to any given task.

This coming Friday we have a number of students who will be trialling for representation in the Diocesan touch football squads for next year. We wish Hamish Mason, Zara Kelly, Josh Anderson and Shae Mallise all the best for Friday. Next week we will commence our intensive swimming program for all students. This is a critical activity as we are all aware of the potential for tragedy around water in summer.

Kind Regards

Simon Fleming
