Throughout the year, a number of parishioners had been praying for our Year 12 students as they navigate their final year of schooling. This quiet but powerful support was deeply appreciated by our seniors, offering encouragement and a sense of connection with the wider faith community.

On Thursday 16 October, the Year 12s hosted a special morning tea in the secondary staffroom to thank the parishioners personally. The gathering was filled with warm conversation, gratitude, and a shared sense of celebration as students prepared to conclude their time at St Joseph’s.

It was a beautiful reminder of the strong ties between our school and parish, and the importance of community in shaping the journey of our young people. We thank all who attended and supported our students throughout the year.
