For the month of November all the staff members aimed to walk/ run 60km in 4 weeks. Everyone counted their km's at the end of the week. It was a great incentive to get active and moving before Christmas. We walked a total of 1,686km in the four weeks. Well done to everyone that participated.

Active School Week Slogan Competition

On the weeks leading upto ASW, all classes were asked to think of an Active School Slogan for St.Joseph's N.S. The children designed creative and colourful posters with their slogan on it. The slogans were hung up around the school to encourage everyone to be more active and remind them that we are an Active School. As part of ASW we decided to pick the best slogan winner in each class. Conor Whelan presented the winners with certificates and prizes on Wednesday of ASW. Well done to everyone for their fantastic effort.
