What Is Skiing At Mt Lyford?

Peering out the window seeing rock pierced snow peaks that will soon be enclosed by a white substance called snow.

Observing dwarf like people disperse over the vast snow blanketed mountain peaks

Ploughing through and around sleek corners and intersections traveling to the virtually vertical sloped T bar

Layering myself in snow while tumbling down the snow trail that will take me home

Ascending up the last tow to my voyage home reminiscing about the dwarf like people layering myself in snow peering out the window and stopping at intersections

THAT IS SKIING AT MT LYFORD

At the end of Term 2, the students performed in The Button Box. It was a wonderful show enjoyed by many. Below are a few photos of the wonderful performers. Come in to school to see more or pop into Photo and Frame.

On Friday we held a mufti day to raise money for the people affected by the Haiti earthquake.

Well done to everyone who made the effort to dress up in an International Costume. Thanks also to Father Eric for donating a fishing rod to be raffled. We raised over $200 which is a fantastic effort for our school.

On Tuesday 16th February John Simpson came to talk to the students about bike safety

and bike maintenance.  He showed the students how to change a tyre, adjust seat and

suspension and explained how bike gears work.  It was a very informative and interesting

talk.

Room 4 has been busy discussing Ash Wednesday and Lent in preparation for mass tomorrow.

We decided to choose individual penances to observe over Lent.

Congratulations to the following students who have been chosen as St Joseph’s School Head Students for 2010.  Claudia Smith, Head Girl Braiden Broughan Head Boy, Isabelle Coates Deputy Head Girl and Jeremy Howden Deputy Head Boy.

Remember to bring your swimming togs from Monday to Friday for swimming. Lets hope the weather sorts itself out so we can swim, lots! This Thursday the High School are going to try again for their swimming sports, so no swimming for us.

Congratulations to everyone who competed in the Cross Country today at Lynton Downs School. Thanks also to the team at Lynton Downs for putting on such a great event!
