Division Hockey

Congratulations to all those students who competed in the Division Hockey Finals. We entered two teams on the Day. Our boys team played 5 matches and won 4 and lost 1.  They finished in 1st overall on the ladder with the highest winning points for the day and have advanced to the Regional Finals in Dimboola. Our girls played one match against Warrnambool Primary School.  They drew this game in overtime and have also advanced to the regionals in the next round in Dimboola.   

A huge thank you to our coaches Karen and Marcia for their great work in coaching and supporting the teams on the day.  Children are invited to the Hockey Centre Wednesday after school for practice at 4:15pm.  

Aussie Footy

Urgent Reminder and Donations of Football Boots.

Anybody who participated in the Aussie Footy Program will need to return their jumpers this week for our girls team who are competing this coming Friday at the Mack Oval.  

Also, any families that have old football boots at home and would like to donate them to the school would be kindly appreciated for our girls football team this Friday.

A draw will be given to the students at the final training session this Tuesday lunchtime.

Unfortunately once again, the amount of interest demonstrated by St Joseph’s students far exceeds the number of places available.  This means that some students may have missed out.  We apologise for any disappointment caused in those cases.
