The St Joseph’s Parents & Friends have enjoyed another event filled year, enabling us to support the school to provide further facilities for our boys. Our regular events have provided valuable funds which have gone towards, updating the cricket facilities on Carey Oval, new BBQs for the school, money for the school’s Bursary programme and a first aid course for Year 12 students. We have maintained our commitment to those in need in Mannya, Uganda, with all funds raised from the annual Fashion Show, going to vital projects in the area. We have raised over $41,000 this year, which is a testament to the hard work of the committee and school community.

Our active group also provides parents with the chance to feel connected to and a part of our wonderful school community.

We would like to thank those who have provided valuable input and assistance at our various functions throughout the year, without which these events wouldn’t be able to run and continue to flourish. Particular gratitude must go to the sub-committees who diligently organised & ran each event.

Thank you to everyone from the school community who came along and supported our events throughout the year. A big thank you to Kristen Gleeson, Lauren Salcombe, Natasha Solczaniuk and Adel Mawson for the ongoing support of the development office. Your vital assistance and leadership ensures we can contribute to the school in such an effective way. Many thanks also to the school’s leaders for their continued support of our endeavours and to the school’s maintenance division for providing their help & expertise. We look forward to an exciting 2016 and would welcome anyone who’d be interested in being involved in the P&F in any way, big or small.
