Sports Day 2020

30.10.20

Dear SJMS Community

I think I speak for staff and students alike in saying that we are all still recovering from our mammoth efforts on Friday at our 2020 SJMS Sports Day.

We were extremely fortunate with the weather which in the end provided perfect conditions for our students to give it their all.

It was fantastic to see so many families in attendance to support our students who represented their teams with great passion and sportsmanship. It was great to have the whole school community together, including our Preschoolers, who may have even upstaged our parents and old scholars with their tug-of-war efforts.

I must once again congratulate Woods for taking out the John Partington Memorial Shield and Tappeiner for winning the Spirit Cup. Well done also to MacKillop and Joseph for their gallant efforts during the day.

A massive thank you goes out to all of the staff and parent volunteers, Mrs Moore for managing the scoring, Mrs Fantasia for coordinating the sign in and First Aid station, Daniel Faraonio for supplying the PA system and Norwood Oval for providing the perfect venue for us. Let the countdown begin to Sports Day 2021!

Yours sincerely

Tom Siinmaa

A Message from the Principal

05.02.18

Welcome back, after what I hope was a joy filled and peaceful holiday that allowed you to spend quality time with your families and loved ones. I have thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of students on their return and their holiday recounts. 

I would like to extend a heartfelt and warm welcome to all of our new students and their families to St Joseph’s Memorial. This year we are blessed with an additional 42 students who join us across the school. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly each child’s nerves and anxiety at the start of a new year dissipate, and how within a few weeks their confidence and comfort within their new surroundings blossom. God bless you all and may you experience much happiness and success throughout your learning journey at St Joseph’s Memorial.
