IT is said that the best way to keep warm in the cold of winter is to keep active, and the St Joseph’s students have certainly been doing that over the last week.

The “Snaketails” visit gave students an opportunity to get up close and personal with a range of reptiles and lizards as well as learning about safety awareness when encountering a snake.
The message that lingered strongest was “no-one has ever been bitten by leaving a snake alone!”
Students had the chance to feel the skin of a docile Olive Python and to compare it to the rugged exterior of the Bearded Dragon.
Awards were also distributed during the week for some exceptional performances in the online learning environment of Mathletics and Spellodrome. Congratulations to Lilly Day-Edgecombe, Jaimie Farrell, Max Smith, Jakeb Gay and James Tellis.
The keenly contested Archdiocesan Southern Region Stage 3 Public Speaking Competition saw both James Tellis and Jaimie Farrell delivering their best oration in front of a very experienced adjudicator and an attentive audience at St Patrick’s, Cooma during the week.
Catholic schools from Batehaven and Moruya in the north through to Bega and Cooma had very polished performers deliver their speeches on either “The ANZACS” or “Sport can break down barriers”.
Both James and Jaimie delivered outstanding speeches, with Jaimie winning through to the Archdiocesan Public Speaking finals to be conducted in Crookwell on September 4.
