Prime Minister Award
‘Being a steward of creation’, ‘Trying your best’, ‘Speaking with kindness’ and ‘Being a responsible learner’ are some of the qualities that teachers consider when awarding ‘Prime Minister’ at our weekly assembly. It is an acknowledgement of the student’s efforts and they have the privilege of wearing the badge with honour, of suggesting a focus the school can work on, award Gotchas to other students at lunch time as well as earning Gotchas for themselves. Congratulations goes to Charlotte Hughan (Week 3) and Oliver Hurtel (Week 4).


MJR Awards
As part of our MJR system, we acknowledge that the following student, Thomas Dawson and Sesi Pulupaki have reached 100 Gotchas, Izac Xuereb has reached 300 Gotchas, Kaii MacMillan and Asta Van Vliet have reached 400 Gotchas. Well Done!
A fantastic day at the Dio Athletics Carnival!
On Wednesday the 6th August 2025 14 students from St Joseph’s Wingham attended the annual Diocesan primary schools athletics carnival. The day was a resounding success, filled with energy, enthusiasm, and outstanding sportsmanship. Students gave their best in a variety of events, from sprints and middle distance running to shot put. The cheering from the sidelines was just as spirited as the competition on the field, creating a wonderful atmosphere of support and camaraderie. A huge thank you to all families who helped make the day so memorable and assisted in transporting students down. Congratulations to all our participants.
A big congratulations to Karlina Stoehr and Eleanor Healy in Year 6 who will go onto the next carnival at Polding!
