• Santa Arrives in Style on Christmas Jumper Day

  Wed 21 Dec 2022

  What an entrance Santa made to St Joseph's for our whole school community on Christmas Jumper Day. 

  Santa's sleigh was in getting repaired this morning for Christmas Eve so he decided to use Mr Kieran Winters Limousine Company for that added touch of comfort.

  Thanks Santa for coming along and meeting and chatting to the boys and girls - they loved it.  It just made our Christmas Jumper Day so special.
