    Dear Families

    WORLD KINDNESS DAY

    Tomorrow is World Kindness Day. It is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. The purpose of this day celebrated on November 13 of each year, is to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together.

    WHAT WILL WE AS INDIVIDUALS DO TOMORROW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S LIFE THROUGH KINDNESS? 

    WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF EVERY DAY WAS WORLD KINDNESS DAY!

    REMEMBRANCE DAY

    Yesterday silence fell across each state and territory for one minute as Australia commemorated those who have died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

    Remembrance Day marks the end of fighting on the Western Front on November 11, 1918.

    On Thursday at eleven am on the eleventh day of the eleventh-month students and staff held a minutes silence, followed by a beautiful commemorative liturgy to remember those men and women who have served and those who have died in all wars and peacekeeping operations.

    The red poppy was worn by all students and staff as a symbol of remembrance and hope that has continued since World War I.

      RELIGIOUS MATTERS- Megan Boyd

      SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

      Gospel 13: 24-32 Jesus.JPG

      In this Sunday's Gospel Jesus teaches us that our world changes and will one day end. But we do not have to be afraid of change. Jesus’ love for us will never end. His words are true, and he is always with us.

      MINI VINNIES NEWS

      We have received a letter from Renee Arringer from the Lismore St Vincent de Paul society thanking our students for their generous donations throughout the year. She states, " Your local President Mr Paul Muldoon wishes to acknowledge your student's extraordinary drive and enthusiasm with certificates and badges."

      Badges_Mini_vinnies_2021_.jpg

      Our Mini Vinnies were presented with their badges and certificates during their meeting this Tuesday. We thank Mr Muldoon for his acknowledgement and support.

      Our next school initiative will be to fill Christmas hampers for the needy in our local community.

      STUDENT DISCIPLESHIP RETREAT – EXURO Year 5 2021

      Exuro is a one-day Faith Retreat experience using various prayer methods, group processes and student-led discussions to equip students to be faith leaders in their parish school communities. With the cancellation of Exuro for Year 5 students in 2020 due to COVID-19 social distancing requirements, the Exuro retreat program has been made available to schools.

       St Joseph's Woodburn Year 5 will participate in this retreat experience at school on Tuesday 16th November.

      Theme: DISCIPLESHIP -  Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for the believers in your speech, your conduct, your love, faith and purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12 

      Exuro (Latin for “on fire”) is a student discipleship formation program for year 5 students that will strengthen the spiritusl lives of students and keep the fire and passion of Proclaim Lismore Students alive in parish primary schools. 

      THE SPIRIT OF JESUS  - MAKING JESUS REAL  (MJR) 

      At St Joseph’s Woodburn we encourage our students to “Make Jesus Real’” by the way they act in our school community, while at home and out in the wider community.

      Lest_we_forrget.JPG

      How do we show the Spirit of Jesus? Every time we are respectful, grateful and remember the sacrifice of others.

      MJR at St Joseph’s Woodburn encourages our students to be WEST people - that is WELCOMING, ENCOURAGING, SAY SORRY when needed and be THANKFUl.
      If we have the spirit of Jesus in our hearts, then we are kind, compassionate, welcoming cheerful, giving, forgiving, encouraging, cheerful, friendly and thankful.
