St Joseph's Catholic School, Te Aroha

What a fantastic day for our Annual Cross Country!

We were so lucky with the weather and couldn’t have asked for a better day. A huge well done to all of our students who participated — we are so proud of you all! ❤️

What made the day even more special was seeing our students encourage, support and run alongside their peers. The cheers, encouragement and positive spirit from everyone were amazing to see! 🙌
You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves. What a great day!👏

Just a reminder sausage sizzle and juicie orders are due today.

Just a reminder, tomorrow afternoon (11th August 1.45pm) is our annual school cross country. Students are encouraged to wear their house colours and running shoes.

Just a reminder today is a teacher only day 20th July, looking forward to seeing everyone back at school tomorrow.

Don't forget about tomorrow :)

Well done to all of our students who participated in today's House Dance Competition! The energy was amazing, and every house brought enthusiasm, creativity, and school spirit to the stage. It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved and supporting one another.

We even had some very special guests make an appearance at the end 😆

Congratulations to Sheley, who danced their way to victory and took home the win! 🏆

A big thank you to Whaea Jo and Mrs McCabe for giving up their time to be our judges. We appreciate your support and the tough job of choosing a winner.
