The Junior School Christmas and Presentation Night was a grand and joyous occasion. It was standing room only, as hundreds of parents and friends gathered to share the joy of Christmas. Awards were presented, achievements were acknowledged and then the party began. From the Three Year Old Kindy presentation to the thrilling "Lord of the Dance" finale, the evening ran seamlessly, and without a hitch.

What a wonderful celebration of the vibrant and excellent community that is St Joseph's College, and the great gift given to mankind on that remarkable night in Bethlehem, so long ago.

The Junior School and the Secondary School choirs performed at the final College assembly this morning. Their performances were of the highest order and enjoyed immensely by students and staff. The Junior School then treated the Secondary School to a repeat of their sensational Christmas and Presentation Night finale - "Lord of the Dance". Congratulations to Audessa and Isabelle who were awarded the "Member of the Year" trophies for outstanding contribution to the JS and SS Choirs.
