Just a reminder about the upcoming Joeys Football Trivia Night:
Thanks Year 9 families for your support filling the rosters for the canteens and dining room for THIS SATURDAY. The response has been fabulous and overwhelming but we still have just a few spots to fill, so if you haven’t already volunteered, please click on the link below.
And don’t forget to look out for the “9” balloon where we can all meet for some refreshments at Jack’s bar after the game.
Thanks again from the Year 9 parent reps.
Dear Families
Saturday July 23 is OUR YEAR 9 DAY to man the canteens for the Shore Home Game. As an added bonus we are also the Hosts at Jack’s bar after the game :))
It is really important that we get this roster filled because as you may or may not know the canteens are run wholly by parent volunteers.
Please find above the link to the roster.
I know a lot of you will be delaying signing up until you know what time your son/s are playing, but it’s really important we get this roster filled as soon as possible, so please sign up and if there’s a clash, see if you can do a swap with someone on the roster the week before.
Our year 9 parent group is known within the school as being one of the most active and helpful, so let’s keep the spirit going and do our best for a great day.
Looking forward to seeing as many of you in the canteen on the day and at Jack’s bar after the game – look for the number “9” balloon.
Thanks
Year 9 Parent REPS
This is an invitation for your son and his father or “fatherly figure” to attend the Year 9 Father/Son weekend at Colo on the 17th and 18th of September. This is an optional opportunity, which usually sees at least half of the Year 9 boys and their father (or father figure) attending.
For many Year 9 boys, this age is a time when they are entering a transition to manhood. It can be a time of exciting change and growth that is coupled with times of challenge and struggle for your son (as well as for those close to him). The intent of the weekend is to allow the opportunity for you to spend some special time with your son and strengthen your dialogue with him as he embarks on this transition. Those fathers who have joined us in the past have spoken very highly of their positive and rewarding experiences.
There are links to six documents providing information related to the weekend at the bottom of this post.
A personal admission – when I receive information about events, I have a tendency to put the information aside until just prior to the event. Sometimes I have a quick scan, but often don’t look at the detail until closer to the time. If this sounds familiar and you’re in the same boat, may I suggest that you read at least two of the above mentioned documents now – “A Note for Fathers 2016” and “Father Son information 2016”. This will give you some thinking time to work on the letter we’re asking you to write to your son, and give to him on the Saturday night (17 September), or time to book any equipment you may need to borrow from Colo.
Many boys and their dads (or father figure) get a lot out of their Colo experience together and I hope that you’ll be able to join us.
Kind regards,
Mark Brackenreg, Coordinator of the SJC Colo Outdoor Education Campus

The Year 9 class began the year with a traditional celebration of Candlemas and Shrove Tuesday by learning to cook traditional crepes on crepe machines, to a French recipe (written IN French!) A great time was had by all.
Year 9 class working on storyboard
As already posted on the blog in March, they also had their first excursion as a group to the Sydney French Film Festival to see a French drama-Comedy. The Dinner leave at Leichhardt beforehand was much appreciated as well.
Late in Term 1, the boys performed their Clothing speaking dialogues and a lot of effort and detail went into these performances.
Recently the boys submitted an assessment on health, designing symptoms and advice posters in French for the Infirmary: Nic Rath’s submission about General well-being and Josh Legdin’s Winter ailments posters were both very impressive (see below)
Robbie Matchett coordinating the ideas of his classmates
And as Mid-Year approaches and our third unit beings, the Year 9 Class have begun the scriptwriting process for their Short Film Competition Entry, to be submitted in September. Robbie Matchett is coordinating the class’s efforts and is set to star in a leading role in their production which features a dream sequence and the required element – a balloon.

The 14F’s had the honour of kicking off proceedings at Riverview with the dreaded 8.00am game. They gathered in darkness to catch the 7.00am bus. They then encountered a Riverview team with much bigger boys and the worst playing conditions of the day with consistent rain throughout the match. Despite this, the boys knuckled down to the task at hand and played some entertaining rugby and ran the Riverview team off their feet. They scored 7 tries and kept the Riverview team scoreless in their 45-0 win. Dominic Sestanovic scored 3 tries. A great platform for the rest of the day. Below is a photo of the happy boys after the game which was popular on Joeys Rugby twitter.

Year 9 did the readings and offertory tonight at Mass. Father Gavin was joined in saying Mass by Father Kevin. Father Kevin who is a Filipino priest who spoke to the boys about his work with refugees in Burma.

Last night 4 Year 9 boys competed in a Latin quiz at Barker College. Will Page, Daniel Gibbons, Angus Dermody and Oliver Sidgreaves led the team to the finals, which is a first for Joeys. Unfortunately those pesky teams from SCEGGS & PLC Sydney were just too quick on the buzzer in the final!
The SJC Big Band performed at assembly this morning. Year 9 boys in the band include Alex Sestanovic, Dominic Sestanovic and Nicholas Davies.
Mr Walker’s accelerated Mathematics class working hard during study last night. The were discussing the surface area and volume of a large ice cream cone.
Tonight was just another night like every other in the Year 9 ref (despite what your son probably tells you).
A tiger and flamingo watched on as the boys tucked into a Bollywood inspired food under coloured spotlights. The menu included an entree of samosas and two types of curry for mains. Dessert and supper also had an Indian flavour.
Like I said, just another ordinary night in the Year 9 dining room….
