Jump Into Joey’s, at St Joseph’s Primary School, recently had children from the Grenfell Preschool Star Room exploring the fascinating world of States of Matter.
They kicked things off with the inspiring story Ada Twist, Scientist—a perfect reminder that sometimes science can be messy, and that’s okay!

This powerful exhibition celebrates art, culture, and storytelling, showcasing the journey of two incredible local creatives who share a deep passion for Aboriginal culture and community.
Their work honours their roles as artists, educators, and proud members of the Weddin NAIDOC Committee – and it was a terrific opportunity for the St Joseph’s students to connect with local stories and creativity.
