Athletics Success: Highlights from 2023
We had a wonderful year in athletics. Our athletes displayed enthusiasm, team work and great skill, achieving success in all sports.
Today is Orange Shirt Day at SJS in support of the @orangeshirtsociety, who raise awareness about the intergenerational impact of residential schools in Canada.
The whole school came together this morning for a dedicated Truth and Reconciliation assembly. The assembly covered Phyllis Webstad’s story and the meaning behind the orange shirts, as well as wider learnings around reconciliation and the history of the land we inhabit.

Junior School had a very special visitor this morning – Blue the therapy dog 🐶
Blue visited one of our Grade 2 classes where the students took turns to meet and pet her, whilst hearing all about how she was found and rescued, and swapping stories of their own pets.
Birthday boy Enzo was first up to meet Blue, whose owner Sandy is also celebrating her birthday today 🎉
A big Happy Birthday to both Enzo and Sandy, and we look forward to welcoming Blue and her calming presence back to school for another visit soon!
We had a fantastic afternoon at the Back to School BBQ on Friday as the whole community came together to mark the start of the new school year!
There were fun and games on offer for all ages, lots of delicious food and a visit from our friendly mascot of course 🦅
We must say a huge thank you to all our parents who volunteered on the day and the Parent Association for their incredible organization as always!
