• Open day at St. Joseph's

  Mon 19 Nov 2018

  The Open day on Friday 16 November, St Joseph’s was a buzz with people. It was our open day. ‘Past, Present and Future’ pupils were invited to come and visit our fantastic school and see what ‘goes on inside’. A welcome was made by the headteacher, Cath Monaghan informing our guests of what was in store for them. On tables in the school hall there were a plethora of photos, books, behaviour records from years gone by. The past pupils were fascinated and amazed when they found records of when they were baptised, had their First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Tours were taken by the school council across the whole school. Trumpet lessons, art lessons, science lessons, PE lessons were taking place so lots of interesting activities for them to see. They were amazed by our brilliant playground and the equipment we have.

   

  The afternoon was a great success and will be repeated next year as many positive comments were received.

• macmillan balloons race

  Fri 28 Sep 2018

  The Macmillan coffee morning was a huge success again raising £200.

  Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, little brothers, sisters and babies who joined us to raise money for such an important charity.

  The staff team worked so well together to make it so meaningful for the community and the children.

  The parents enjoyed coffee in the hall, next the children all got a cake too and then congregated on the new playground

  Father Millar then blessed the playground. Cash for kids attended to see the wonderful Trim trail they have raised fund for.

  The morning was suitably finished off with our annual balloon race. The balloon release was a very special moment. The balloons soared into the sky and blew towards Blackpool and the Irish sea-

  We used biodegradable balloons this year to be kind to the environment and reduce plastic.

  We await to see who the winning balloon is.

  Wishing everyone who bought a balloon- the luck of the Irish
