February 5, 2010: Helping Hearts for Haiti
In true Mary MacKillop spirit, students of St Joseph’s Nundah reached out a helping hand and helping heart for the people of Haiti by raising funds to assist Caritas in their relief efforts. By living the philosophy of UBUNTU, the St Joseph’s school family reflect the Josephite tradition and Mary MacKillop’s words, that we might “seek first the poorest and neglected parts of God’s vineyard”.

February 3, 2010: Lets live UBUNTU!
“Let’s live UBUNTU” is our school theme for 2010. What do we mean by this African word – ubuntu? When I first heard about the concept of ubuntu several years ago, it resonated with my own beliefs about community and catholic education. The following explanation by Archbishop Desmond Tutu enables us to see the connections ubuntu has with our Catholic faith and Mary MacKillop’s dream of making Jesus real in our world.

"Ubuntu is a concept that we have in our Bantu languages at home. Ubuntu is the essence of being a person. It means that we are people through other people. We cannot be fully human alone. We are made for interdependence, we are made for family. When you have ubuntu, you embrace others. You are generous, compassionate. If the world had more ubuntu, we would not have war. We would not have this huge gap between the rich and the poor. You are rich so that you can make up what is lacking for others. You are powerful so that you can help the weak, just as a mother or father helps their children. This is God's dream."
Archbishop Desmond Tutu

January 29, 2010: Welcome to the 2010 School Year
A BIG welcome to everyone as we start the 2010 school year, especially our new families. We hope your association with our school is a rewarding and enjoyable one. I trust you were able to have some much needed family time over the Christmas holidays and I’m sure you are all missing your kids now that they have started back at school! We love to see the children’s happy faces and enjoy their enthusiasm for the start of school. It doesn’t take long for the children to settle into our school routine. Our Preps are already showing lots of confidence.
