Our Year 4-7 pupils gathered for assembly today for a wonderful celebration of achievement, respect and community spirit.

We were delighted and privileged to welcome back Katie Rose, a former St Joseph's pupil, who was a member of the Antrim Camogie team that won the All-Ireland Intermediate Championship Final in August at Croke Park!. She proudly brought the winning trophy to assembly and answered a range of thoughtful questions from pupils about her sporting journey and success.

It was inspiring for our children to hear first-hand about the dedication, perseverance and teamwork required to perform at such a high level. Her visit provided a powerful reminder that hard work, determination and commitment can help us achieve our goals. We congratulate her and all of her teammates on their fantastic achievement.

The assembly also marked the first collection of Pebble Points from our Year 4-7 classes, earned through excellent examples of Respect, our character trait focus for September and October. We celebrated birthdays, recognised achievements outside school and acknowledged the many successes of our pupils.

As part of our ongoing focus on safeguarding, Mr. Traynor spoke to the children about the importance of road safety, reminding everyone how small actions can help keep themselves and others safe both in and out of school.
