On Saturday night, Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon 37 of St. Joseph's Grade 6 children celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation. The Sacrament was celebrated by our Bishop Patrick O'Regan and our Parish Priest Father Hengel. Thank you to all our staff who assisted during the 3 Sacrament Masses and congratula-tions to all our confirmed students!

Pilgrimage MassPilgrimage MassPilgrimage MassPilgrimage Mass

Today, our Grade 5 students attended the annual Pilgrimage Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral in Sale. This Mass,

which has been called the Pilgrimage Mass, helps emphasise the physical experience of ‘journeying’, as would a

‘Pilgrim’, as they travel to the Cathedral in Sale. The ‘journey’ was also a spiritual one for the children as they

encountered the many significant aspects of the Cathedral.

Parent Teacher Child InterviewsParent Teacher Child InterviewsParent Teacher Child InterviewsParent Teacher Child Interviews At St Joseph’s we know that education is very much a partnership between home and school. This partnership is a vital form of communication as it can establish common understandings and develop effective ways to help your child progress. One way that we try to enhance this communication is by holding parent–teacher-child in-terviews. This year these meetings will be held on Tuesday 21st June. A major thrust of the interviews is to discuss the progress of your child during the first half year. The reports will be sent home on Friday 17th June. We feel that these interviews are very important in assisting the teaching and learning of your child. Letters with online booking details and information will be emailed/sent home shortly.

Revisiting BaptismRevisiting BaptismRevisiting BaptismRevisiting Baptism

Tomorrow night, Wednesday the 1st of June, we are offering a workshop for children in grade one and two, along with their families. The evening provides an opportunity for parents and children to reflect on Baptism, and to share their story of Baptism. It is also in alignment with our Religious Education unit called ‘What is Bap-tism?’ We are encouraging children to bring special items from their Baptism. This workshop will be led by St. Joseph’s Pastoral Associate Ruth Thompson and will be held in the school library from 6.30-7.30pm. Please re-turn the RSVP note to your child’s teacher to ensure we know numbers.

Gospel Values Gospel Values Gospel Values Gospel Values –––– OptimismOptimismOptimismOptimism When we show optimism we believe God is present in our life through working, praying and being to-gether. We are hopeful and confident about the future or about the success of something. On the play-ground optimism can be seen when we are positive we can do things and we can succeed through hard work. In the classroom, optimism is shown when we have belief in our ability to not only have a go at tasks but also complete them to the best of our ability. When we show optimism we show confidence, cheerfulness and have a positive attitude. How to practice it Here are a few ways to increase optimism. Be friendly. Greet others with a smile and a few cheery words. Being cheerful and friendly leads to more positive inter-actions and positive feelings. Give yourself a break. If you greet someone, and your friendliness is not returned, think, “She/He is having a bad day,” rather than, “She/He does not like me.” Never blame yourself for other people’s conditions. Be a problem solver. If a plan doesn’t work out, make changes in the plan. Do not give up. Distract yourself. When someone is less than kind, or you embarrass yourself in a social situation, do something you enjoy to take your mind off the situation. An enjoyable activity breaks the trend toward negativity. Go outside, listen to music, phone a friend…. Laugh. It is good for the body and soul. Practice looking on the bright side, even if you do not really feel like it. Each time you count on success and achieve it, your confidence will build. Energy – positive or negative? What we give out affects others. You can choose to give out happy, positive energy which attracts others to you!

Giving FreelyGiving FreelyGiving FreelyGiving Freely Being socially aware of those in need and being charitable is a good habit to have and for your children to see. It also shows your children that you know there are people in our world who are not as fortunate as us. It also relates to compassion and follows Catholic teaching. Talking about opportunities for children for contribute to society and developing a family tradition of giv-ing for Christmas or another time are ways of helping our neighbours, both near and far. Modelling these behaviours is a great example for children to see in you and for them to continue in their life.
