On 20 March our Year 6 Civics and Citizenship leadership team attended the annual Year 6 Leader’s Day and Mass with Rev Father David Ranson at the cathedral at Waitara.
Cameron, Maddie, Chloe and Sophie were able to meet other Year 6 leaders from the diocese to learn and share ideas about leadership.
We attended Mass as a school and heard from Father Robert about what a ‘good guy’ St Joseph was and how we can try and emulate him by being selfless and supportive. In the afternoon the predicted rainy weather held off so we could enjoy a fun session of games and playing at the beach.
Inspired by our motto, “Build in Love”, we at St Joseph’s School, Narrabeen, a Catholic community of learning, are committed to providing our children with a challenging education in a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment.
If you missed our Open Morning, please phone the school office and we will arrange a time to take you on a tour of St Joseph’s. Enrolment packs are available at our school office, or can be downloaded from the enrolments page of our website here.
