This year’s theme, “Seeds of Science – Nurturing Knowledge for All,” came to life at St Joseph’s in the best possible ways!
We had bubble fun, planted seeds, and put our gloves on for gardening .
Our playground turned into a colourful masterpiece as students used chalk to create beautiful stained‑glass designs.
And to top it all off, we wrapped up the week with an epic Paper Plane Challenge, proudly run by our amazing SRC. The excitement, teamwork, and laughter made it a highlight for everyone.
It was such a fun week celebrating curiosity, creativity, and the joy of discovering how our world works.
Happy National Science Week! 🌟✈️🫧🌱

What has been coming into view is now revealed. ✨
As a part of the Sydney Catholic Schools community, we are all united by a shared mission to provide Catholic education deeply anchored in faith, marked by educational excellence and accessible to all who seek it.
Inspired by the beauty and symmetry of the rose window of St Mary’s Cathedral, the new Sydney Catholic Schools logo shifts the focus from Sydney’s iconic landmarks to the spiritual heart of the Archdiocese which connects us.
It lives in our students, our staff and our families across Greater Sydney and is reflected in the way we learn and walk together.
With Christ at the centre of all that we do, this renewed expression reflects who we are as a community of communities, based in our traditions but looking boldly to the future.
