11th November 2022 Newsletter
The children participated in a wonderful remembrance day service in both the Infant and the Junior School, led by the Apostles of Mercy.
My thanks to Father Celestine from St Matthew’s Church for joining us for our service. The children reflected during the one-minute silence at 11.00 a.m. and offered up prayers for peace in our world today.
Class Assemblies
Thank you to Class 3T and to Mrs Steen Plomer and Mrs Parry for preparing the children for their first-Class Assembly in the Junior School. The focus was on connections and how everyone can make a difference through small gestures. A fantastic start to the term. Well done children!

St Joseph’s Football team
Mr Abrahams and his mighty heroes did it again. They played Heavers Farm at their School and were amazing. The boys played exceptionally well and beat them 6-0. Goals came from Lorcan, Javier, Aaron and a hat trick from Michael Sitsi.
PTA AGM
Our PTA is an excellent team of dedicated parents who generously give their time to raise funds for our school. They need your support and welcome new ideas, so please do attend their AGM on 24th November 2022 at 6.00 p.m. in the Junior School. It’s a chance to find out more about how you can help the PTA and ultimately the School and the children.
HAF December Holiday Programme
Your child should have brought home a flyer with details about the HAF club. Please do email Mrs Odewale if you are interested in booking a place. Places are filling up fast so please do not delay to avoid disappointment.
Have a wonderful week and keep warm and dry.
