Wow, Wow, Wow

What an incredible day for our Once Upon a Dance Showcase! The energy and excitement were truly infectious as we celebrated the hard work and passion of our talented dancers. It was a day which perfectly captured our vibrant community spirit, with so many families coming together to support and cheer for every single performance. Seeing so many parents and family members not just in the audience, but also helping with costumes, dinner and all the little details which make an event like this possible, was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we work as one. The love and encouragement in the room were palpable, creating a warm, supportive atmosphere where every child felt like a star. Thank you for making the showcase a truly unforgettable and magical experience for our dancers.

As Term 3 draws to a close, I wish to celebrate a Term of incredible achievement and community spirit. It has been a busy and rewarding Term, packed with highlights.

We saw wonderful creativity and a love of reading during our vibrant Book Week Parade, and fantastic sportsmanship was on full display at our Athletics Carnival. It was also a pleasure to connect with so many families at our successful Father's Day Stall. We thank our amazing Parent Community Forum and parent volunteers for making these events happen.

A huge thank you to all students for their hard work and to our dedicated staff for their guidance and support. This Term's success is truly a whole-school effort.

Socktober 2025 – Coming Soon!

Get your crazy socks ready! This October, our school will be taking part in Socktober to support Catholic Mission. Students will have the chance to show off their brightest, boldest socks while helping raise funds and awareness for children and families in need around the world.

On Thursday 23 October 2025, students are invited to wear their craziest socks with their full school uniform and bring along a gold coin donation. Socktober activities will also run throughout the week, giving everyone lots of opportunities to get involved and make a difference.

Strong Spirit Workshop

'Strong Spirit' Port Macquarie recently partnered with our Year 3 - Year 6 students and Aunty Miranda for a vibrant workshop on designing and painting emu eggs.

Throughout the session, students enthusiastically learned to say their names and some words in Gathang (Birpai) language, deepening their cultural connection. The workshop was an engaging, hands-on experience which celebrated creativity and Indigenous heritage, with students fully immersed and inspired. Strong Spirit’s commitment to fostering cultural understanding through art truly shone through.

Have a look at the photo gallery of the students' painted emu eggs.

Parent Community Forum

Share Your Skills, Shape Our Future

Here at St Joseph's Primary Wauchope, we believe one of our greatest resources is you – our incredible community of parents, guardians, and neighbours. We know our community is bursting with diverse skills, hidden talents, and real-world experience, and we would love to bring that wisdom into our school.

Do you have a passion or a professional skill you'd be willing to share at our school? It could be anything!

  • Creative Arts: Painting, graphic design, playing an instrument, and photography.

  • Practical Skills: Gardening, cooking, sewing, woodworking, coding.

  • Professional Life: Public speaking, budgeting, running a small business, and first aid.

  • Cultural Knowledge: Speaking another language, sharing cultural traditions or stories.

Sharing your skills could be as simple as a 20-minute talk to a class, running a small group workshop, or helping with a specific school project. Your involvement, no matter how big or small, provides our students with invaluable real-world learning and strengthens the bond between our school and our community.

Ready to share?

Please take a moment to fill out our short online form to let us know what skills you might be willing to share. This isn't a firm commitment, but rather a "skills bank" we can draw upon when opportunities arise.
