Today was National Smile Day - here are some wonderful smiles caught on camera in school this afternoon!

Today in St Joseph's we had our first assembly of the school year delivered via Microsoft Teams.

Primary 1-3 and Primary 4-7 celebrated the end of the first month back to school with wonderful performances from Mrs O'Doherty's Primary 3 class and Mr McCullagh's Primary 6 class.  These assemblies can be viewed in the video section of our school website. In addition to this Mr Traynor delivered some important messages and there was the presentation of our attendance certificates and monthly awards.

It was good to have so many of our classes reconnected again .. even if it was in the virtual sense.  Well done to everyone involved!

We are delighted to have been selected as a partnership school with Titanic Belfast. The purpose of this partnership is to forge mutually beneficial links between Titanic Belfast and St. Joseph’s Primary School as a key school local to the venue. Our pupils will be given the opportunity to participate in many new educational programmes and attend exciting workshops in Titanic Belfast! 

Looking forward to getting everyone in school 'All Aboard'.

We celebrated Good Relations Week in school. All classes made postcards centred on the theme of 'A Brighter Future Ahead' to send positive message to our Shared Education partner schools.  Here our pupil council share some of the lovely work completed. 

Our Accelerated Reading Programme is up and running again.  We hope to build on the success of last years programme and have the points and prizes at the ready. 

Let's all read our way to success this year!
