St Joseph's Catholic Primary School Riverwood

🕊️ Tonight our St Joseph’s Parish community celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation. It was a beautiful evening as our young people received the gifts of the Holy Spirit – wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and awe and wonder in God’s presence.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” – Acts 1:8

Congratulations to all of our candidates and their families. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen you on your faith journey 🙏

From masterpieces to moments of reflection, Year 6 enjoyed a truly special day exploring a Sistine Chapel experience and visiting St Mary’s Cathedral. We extend our thanks to our Parish Priest, Fr John and Joseph Gittany, our acolyte and artist, for sharing their knowledge, faith and passion with our students Sydney Catholic Schools

Over the past couple of days, Year 4 have enjoyed using their design and make skills to create a Marble Run Challenge.

Throughout the process, students demonstrated excellent perseverance as they tested, refined and improved their designs. They also worked collaboratively, sharing ideas and supporting one another to overcome challenges and create successful marble runs.

It was wonderful to see their creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills on display!

The sun was shining for our Year 3 students as they headed out for their make‑up Interschool Sport session this week ☀️⚽
The children showed great energy, teamwork and enthusiasm as they took to the field and enjoyed a fantastic morning of football.

Well done, Year 3 - we’re proud of the way you represented St Joseph’s!

Our Year 4 students enjoyed a wonderful day at their excursion to Kamay Botany Bay National Park. They explored different perspectives on Australian history and developed a deeper understanding of the impact of European colonisation on Aboriginal communities. A special thank you to Ranger Jamie Tours for their engaging and informative program, which brought the learning to life for our students!
