Congratulations to all players who competed at the district tennis at Supergrasses on Friday 28th February.

All St. Joseph's members did a fantastic job, playing the game in the right spirit as well as winning many matches and games across the day.
Special congratulations to Austin Lloyd who qualified for the division tennis tournament.

Swimming
Good luck to all our swimmers in the carnival on this Friday 13th March. Please make sure you wear the correct swimming attire. Strictly no long shorts for boys and one-piece bathing suits for girls. This is a Swimming Victoria enforced rule and any swimmer not abiding by the swimwear rules will be disqualified.
Photography and Video is strictly prohibited. Officials have the power to disqualify swimmers or schools if parents fail to abide by this rule. Mr McMillan and I will be supervising on the day. Parents are required for time-keeping duties on the day and your help would be greatly appreciated. Please notify the school no later than Wednesday if you would be willing to help out.
