• Huge Numbers at Latest Cross Country

  Fri 16 Oct 2015
  Wednesday saw a team of 40 children from St Joseph's compete in the latest inter school cross country. With the event being held at Burnham-on-Sea Rugby ground we were always going to have a home advantage and the children did not disappoint. There were fantastic performances from everyone  and we even managed two silver medals in a couple of the races (well done Lillie and Fletcher). A great all round team effort! Well done Team St Joseph's!!!!!

• Girls Football Team Reach Area Finals

  Tue 29 Sep 2015
  A huge well done to the Girls football team who reached the area finals yesterday evening. Competing against four other schools in Pool B, the Girls remained unbeaten and didn't even concede a goal, winning games against Somerset Bridge (1-0), Bridgwater College Academy (1-0) and drawing 0-0 against Berrow and North Newton. Sharp shooters Megan and Abbie scored the winning goals with Eva, Rhiannon and Kizzie offering a solid line of defence at the other end (all three girls timing their tackles to perfection)! The engines of the team Isabelle, Dorothy and Eleni dribbled regularly into the oppositions half, made some great tackles and never seemed to tire as they tracked back to support their defenders when they were needed. Kitty was a rock in goal, pulling of some great saves, including a penalty! Great all round effort form an extremely hard working group of girls. We look forward to the finals on 16th November! Check out the latest pictures of this event in the School Gallery.    

  

• 'Thank you' from the Jolaurabi school

  Fri 11 Sep 2015

  Many thanks to all of you who donated money to the Singing Children of Africa choir when they visited at the end of last term. We raised an amazing £431.41! Thank you on their behalf.
  A huge 'thank you' also to those who hosted children - I know many of you struck up a lovely relationship with the children and were sad to see them go - as we all were! You are able to follow their news on the 'Educate the Kids' website : http://www.educatethekids.com/about/

  
  If you would like any further details, or would like to donate or sponsor a child, please see Mrs Mills.
  There are plenty of photos of their time with us in the gallery section ...and hopefully some videos soon!
