Jump Rope for Heart

On Friday 28th August St Joseph's had our Jump Off. Through our Jump Off we were raising funds for the National Heart Foundation, which is an organisation that helps people affected by Heart Disease, fund research, help people make healthy living choices and run programmes for heart. Our challenge was to skip in a variety of challenges for 5 mins. We had so much fun!

Steamers come to St Joseph's

Today we had a visit from 3 of the Bay of Plenty Steamers. They came to visit us to bring the message of ‘Step Up’ - you can stop bullying at your school.    

The ‘Step Up’ message is about: 

• Stand Up         Do something.  Don’t just watch.

• Team Up          Work together. Support the bullied.

• Speak Up         Say something. Tell someone.
