25.01.2022 Congratulations to all of our students who received the Sacrament of Confirmation, as a part of the Payneham Sacramental Preparation Program. Thank you Father Allan and the Year 4/5 teachers for working together in preparation with the children in the liturgies. Thank you to all the families who are participating in the program this year. Your support of your child’s faith journey is a wonderful contribution to our community.

24.01.2022 Term 4 has seen the arrival of the inaugural SJP Scopa Club! Students in Years 4, 5 and 6 join Signora Parrella every Thursday to play some friendly (sometimes competitive!) games of Scopa and Briscola. Students have been having so much fun learning from each other and developing a wide range of social (relationships, sportsmanship, socialisation, concentration, patience) and curriculum (mathematics, pattern recognition and logical thinking) skills.

16.01.2022 Last Wednesday our school community celebrated the End of Year Mass. This was a wonderful opportunity to give thanks for the year we have shared and to farewell our Year 6 graduating students. Thank you to all who worked so hard to ensure the Whole School Mass and Graduation Liturgy were very special occasions not only for the Graduates, but for all the community. We wish the graduating students every success and blessing as they journey towards a new phase in their life.... The Principal, Mr Simon Mechis take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and positive festive season and upcoming school holiday period. Ensure you spend time with those dearest to you, and be thankful for what we have in life.

15.01.2022 Last Friday our Year 3 Group 1 students celebrated their first Reconciliation. In Reconciliation we are challenged to reflect on how we sometimes stray from a life that is giving and loving and how we can, with God’s help, build bridges again with others as well as with God. As much as we seek forgiveness, we also must be people who forgive others and acknowledge that all people at times have moments where they make mistakes.

15.01.2022 Congratulations to our Year 6s on graduating from St Joseph’s Payneham. They have demonstrated fine leadership skills and set a good example for the younger students at our school.

We celebrated with an end of year liturgy and graduation dinner at the Carrington Function Centre. ... To our graduates, thank you for your energy, for your understanding on the hard days, for your perseverance, your commitment to learning, your laughter and tears, your trust and most significantly, your friendship. St Joseph’s Payneham will always remember you. Dream big, the world is your oyster. Good luck to you all, it has been a pleasure!

On Remembrance Day, we remember Australian men and women who have served in war and peacekeeping activities. Remembrance Day does not glorify war it honours the memory of all those who laid down their lives for Australia. 'Lest we forget'
