Prayer
May the Lord’s face shine on us, and may the Lord guide
our feet into the way of peace.
Let us put ourselves into the hands of the Lord, and pray that God will bless us
and our families during the coming days of Holy Week.
May each of us help to make our homes places of joy, love, peace and safety.
May we be generous and considerate, helping others keep the celebration
of the dying and rising of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Holy Week
This week is a very significant week in the
Church, Holy Week. After the period of Lent,
we now head towards the time when Jesus
suffered and gave up His life for us, before he
rises from the dead three days later. It is a time
to acknowledge the sacrifices made for us.
We are also called to remember our Lenten
promises and how we can make a difference in
other people's lives.
What Our Students Say …
Primary classes have been commemorating
these events through special liturgies each day
this week, with the F-7 SRC dramatising the stories for the children. Secondary students will
gather in the Church this Thursday morning for Stations of the Cross led by the 8-12 SRC.
Retreats
Student Retreats are an important aspect of our faith formation program here at St Joseph's
School. It gives students the chance to reflect on important issues and their relationship with
God away from the day-to-day busyness of school life.
Easter is important to me
because we can spend time
together as a family,
We like having a big hot
breakfast on Easter Sunday
morning.
We like riding our bikes and
hopefully the weather will be
good.
Cadence Kalling
Year 5
Next week the Year 11s and 12s will both experience three day Retreats. The Year 11s will be
spending their time at Trinity Haven exploring the theme of 'The Web of Life' - examining
their relationships with each other, their family and with God. The Year 12s will go to Thuruna
to participate in activities based around the school theme of 'Live Life in all its Fullness' an important message for them as they complete their final year of schooling. I am sure all
students will enjoy these experiences and the enrichment and nourishment to they will bring
to their lives.
Year 12 Christian Outreach
Prior to attending Retreat next week, all Year 12s will participate in a day of Christian
Outreach in our local community. This will be an opportunity for our senior students to
give back to others, and perform a service of some kind. I am very grateful for the various
organisations who will be hosting our students, and trust that they will be fantastic
ambassadors for our School and of great assistance. Students will be volunteering at the
following locations: West Coast Youth Services, Community House, St Vinnies, Salvos Shop,
Port Lincoln Junior Primary School, Port Lincoln Special School, Lions Youth Hostel, St Joseph's
School and St Mary of the Angels Parish.
Principal’s Message
You will have received a copy of the letter from the Director Ms
Brenda Keenan, sent to the school community. It is with much
sadness that I leave the St Joseph’s School community to rejoin
my family in Roxby Downs. My time here has been a truly
wonderful experience. I will always have fond memories of St
Joe’s its staff, students and parents. As stated in Brenda’s letter
the process for a new Principal will begin and an announcement
made in due course. I look forward to working with you during
Term 2.
Holiday Happenings
As this will be our last Newsletter for Term 1, we would like to
acknowledge students who will be participating in school events

Muroto Delegation
Bon voyage to Madeline Harris, Madeleine Izzo and Bella Heron

fantastic time and we look forward to hearing about those
adventures and experiences early in Term 2’s Newsletters.

Achievements
SAPSASA Athletics
CONGRATULATIONS to the Athletics Team of 41 Year 4-7
students who won the Regional Athletics Carnival at Ravendale
on Tuesday.
The SJS team consisted of the first and second placegetters in
track events and the first placegetters in field events from our
Primary Sports Day .They competed against teams from
Port Lincoln Primary, Kirton Point, Lincoln Gardens, Navigator
College, Tumby Bay, Cummins, Lake Wangary and Poonindie.
The standard of competition is a step above what our athletes
have been used to and provided a good challenge which all our
athletes took on admirably, with many achieving excellent
results for their events.
All St Joseph's competitors gave of their best, encouraged
others and, despite nerves, many received place-getters' ribbons
in their events. Following commendable performances and the
afternoon's running events, St Joseph's School was ahead of
Port Lincoln Primary School by 13 points and received the
Championship Shield.
Well done to all who excelled at Sports Day, trained after school
over the past weeks and helped our School's team to achieve
this well-deserved win.
(A list of 1st -4th placegetters is included in this Newsletter.)
Thank you to parents who supported their children on the day
and to Mr Francis and Miss McNamara for their assistance with
events. A special thank you to our Primary HPE Coordinator,
Mrs Tracy Baldwin, for all of her organisation, communication
and training of the team.

Term 2 Commencement Date
We wish all students, staff and their families safe travel and
happy holidays after a very action-packed Term 1 and look
forward to school recommencing on Tuesday, 28th April.
SAPSASA Swimming
CONGRATULATIONS also to the 20 Year 3-7 students who flew
to Adelaide last Friday, 27th March, with the Lower Eyre
Peninsula SAPSASA Swimming Team to compete at the SAPSASA
Swimming Championships at the SA Aquatics Centre.
An incredibly strong representation in a team of 25 swimmers,
St Joseph's students' performances ensured success on the
day with the LEP winning the State Championship. This was only
the third time in over 60 years that the LEP has won this
carnival. Records were broken and personal bests achieved.
A wonderful effort by all swimmers and well done to the whole
team. Thank you to Mrs Kelly Webber, who travelled with the
team to assist Mr McConnell (SAPSASA Convener) and Mrs Ford
(Coach) on the day. 38 Gold, Silver or Bronze medals were won
by our students and Harrison Adams (Year 7) was one of the
Team Captains. Individual results are listed later in this
Newsletter and, as you can see, the day was a great experience
2015 Spencer Gulf Catholic Schools
Athletics Carnival
On Thursday, 26th March, 54 students and 3 staff members
travelled to Port Pirie to attend the Spencer Gulf Catholic
Schools’ Athletics Carnival. The two buses left St Joseph’s at
9:00 am to embark on the six hour journey to Port Pirie.
Students were billeted out on Thursday night in groups, or
individually with families from St Mark’s College, Port Pirie.
All students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and many
look forward to hosting students from St Mark’s next year.
Around School
Year 11 Child Studies
As part of their course this term, Year 11 Child Studies students
have created picture books which they shared with Foundation
students yesterday. The books were of a high quality and
beautifully illustrated, with many having interactive components
that captivated the children. Mr Mckenzie's class certainly enjoyed
the launch of the girls' books and were an appreciative audience.
On Friday, 27th March, the students farewelled their billeting
families and met at St Mark’s College ready for the Opening
Ceremony and a day full of athletics. The students competed
against St Marks Port Pirie, Samaritan College Whyalla and
Caritas Port Augusta.
On a day of little wind and some sunshine, the team was
slightly nervous as some events only contained one
athlete from St Joseph’s and others had no competitors at all.
As students volunteered to compete in extra events for their
team the confidence grew, and all athletes from St Joseph’s
were capable of winning a ribbon or two.
Overall, it was a successful day for the St Joseph’s team with
many outstanding sporting performances from our students.
Additionally, St Joseph’s students achieved both individual
and team awards with a total of five Age Group Champions
including, Jeb Casanova taking out the U/14 boys and Ruby
Orchard winning the U/14 girls Age Group Champions. Adam
Waters won the U/15 boys Age Group Champion,
while James Andrews won the U/16 boys and Luke Orbons took
out the Open boys Age Group Champion. James managed to
achieve five straight wins in his five events which is an
exceptional effort.
As a whole St Joseph’s won the U/14 Division Shield and the
U/16 Division Shield. St Joseph’s only just missed out on the
Handicap Shield and the Highest Aggregate Shield by a small
margin to our rival St Mark’s, who were the overall winners,
followed by St Joseph’s 2nd, Samaritan 3rd and Caritas 4th.
A big thanks to Mr Keatley, Mr Blight and Mrs Pinnington
who organised, coached and supervised students during
the day. We look forward to hosting the 2016 Spencer Gulf
Athletics Carnival in Port Lincoln and plan on reclaiming the
title!

Holy Week Liturgies
Holy Week liturgies have been held each day in the Junior
Primary quadrangle, with the F-7 SRC dramatising the Gospel
story of Jesus' life leading up to Easter. Salt dough handprints
made by Primary classes have formed part of the prayer focus
and all students have participated reverently in learning about
and reflecting on the events of Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday and
Good Friday. After the Easter weekend, we will gather again to
celebrate the Easter Sunday story of the resurrection.
Around The School

Parent - Teacher Interviews
Parent - Teacher Interviews have been held by F-6 class teachers after school over the past
three days. The majority of these have involved 3-way conversations with students also
present to discuss their strengths and achievements as well as goals for next term.
Valuable communication such as this can strengthen home-school partnerships and increase
students' responsibility for their own learning. Thank you to all parents who have made these
appointments a priority this week.
