🥧 Giving Back, One Pie at a Time! 🥧

On Friday, our Catholic Faith in Action students headed to St John Evangelist Parish to lend a hand with their annual pie drive.

Our students got stuck in, helping pack plenty of orders and supporting this wonderful community initiative. It was a thoughtful, and certainly tasty, way to put our faith into action and give back to our local community. 🥧

A big thank you to St John Evangelist Parish for having us! 💙

On Wednesday, our Year 11 Business Studies students had the fantastic opportunity to pick the brains of Joeys Alumni and local business owner, Amalia from Marley Janes Café!

Students quizzed Amalia on everything from how she started her business and where Marley Janes currently sits in its business lifecycle, to what sets her café apart from the competition and plenty of other syllabus-aligned questions.

Amalia generously gave our students an hour of her time, and the questions just kept flowing! It was a great opportunity to connect classroom learning with a real local business and hear firsthand about the realities of running a business. 📚💡

Thanks so much, Amalia, for sharing your time, experience and insights with our students.

Next time we see you, hopefully it’ll be to pop down and grab a coffee! ☕😉

🌟 Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders 🌟
Some of our students recently had the opportunity to attend the 2026 Shellharbour Youth Summit, joining young people from across the region to connect, learn and be inspired.

This year’s summit explored “The New Generation of Leadership: Exploring How Technology, Innovation and Leadership Can Create Opportunities for Positive Change.” A strong focus was placed on AI and emerging technologies, with speakers exploring how these rapidly developing tools are changing the way we learn, work, communicate and lead.

Through engaging presentations, local leaders and interactive opportunities, students were encouraged to think critically about the opportunities and challenges presented by AI and technology, and how they can be used responsibly to create positive change.

Students also engaged with community and local council service stalls, learning about support programs and opportunities for young people.

The summit provided our students with a valuable opportunity to broaden their perspectives, develop their leadership skills and connect with other young people.
👏 Thanks to the Community Programs team at Shellharbour City Council for providing students with this great opportunity.

On Monday, our school community gathered to celebrate and honour St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, with a whole school liturgy. She was a woman of great faith and principles and held a vision for a fairer, faith-filled world. Her famous quote, 'Never see a need without doing something', is how we in the St Joseph's community live our lives daily.
St Mary of the Cross MacKillop has a strong connection to the Albion Park community, founding the St Joseph's School here in 1880 to serve the local rural community. Our school is founded on Josephite values, and we aim to live by these in the way we treat ourselves and each other.

Diocesan Mass celebrating the Feast of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop
On Saturday, Millie and Ketzia, accompanied by Mr Shelton, represented our School community at the Diocesan Mass celebrating the Feast of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop.

It was a wonderful opportunity to come together with members of our wider community to celebrate the life and legacy of Australia's First Saint, who has such a strong connection to our school community.

08/08/2026

Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop. Mary was born in Fitzroy, Melbourne, in 1842. She died on 8 August 1909. This date has become her Feast Day. She was canonised on 17 October 2010. Her example of faithfulness, kindness and down-to-earth living of the Gospel continues to inspire generations of people from all walks of life.

Mary MacKillop was a trailblazer in her lifetime, leaving a culture of exemplary living for her followers to emulate. Mary paved the way for the education of poor children and a variety of ministries which addressed the needs of 19th-century Australia. Mary MacKillop was a founder of the Sisters of St Joseph.

Her legacy continues today in countless ways. Education in its many facets is still a strong ministry for the Sisters of Saint Joseph. She encourages us to be people of justice and ecumenism. Mary inspires us to be courageous and hopeful and to have a deep faith in our God who provides. Mary encourages us to live the Gospel with a Josephite heart. Mary famously stated, “Never see a need without doing something ”.

May the members of our community continue to espouse her values of: respect,
courage, hospitality, compassion, justice, humility and service.

We will be celebrating Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop's Feast Day as a school on Monday with a whole school liturgy.

🏅 Olympics Unleashed at Joey's! ❄️
On Monday 27 July, our Year 9 students were inspired by Australian Skeleton athlete Nick Timmings as part of the Olympics Unleashed program.
A member of the Australian Winter Olympic Team, Nick represented Australia at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games and has competed on the international stage at the IBSF World Championships and World Cup circuit. During his visit, he shared the remarkable journey that led him to the Olympic stage, highlighting the dedication, sacrifices and resilience required to succeed in one of the world's fastest and most demanding winter sports.
Nick encouraged students to set meaningful goals, develop a positive mindset, practise relaxation techniques under pressure, and build a strong support network. He spoke honestly about overcoming setbacks, reminding students that resilience and perseverance are the keys to turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
The session concluded with an engaging Q&A, where students had the opportunity to ask Nick about his sport, Olympic experiences and the lessons he has learned throughout his career. His openness and authenticity left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.

Thank you, Nick, for inspiring our students to dream big, work hard and believe that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible! 💙💛
