‘An evening to remember’<\/p>\n
Our first fireworks event was held on Wednesday, 3rd November<\/strong> 2021<\/strong> and attended by over 1,000 of our community. It was a wonderful event, the rain held off, and the fireworks were stunning. Everyone was entertained by a spectacular display of light and sound.<\/p>\n My thanks to the PTA<\/a> and to all staff who helped on the evening. I think a special mention must be made for Katherine and Mel who led the event and spent many – volunteer – hours organising things. There was a wonderful atmosphere bringing our school community together along with local residents and other families from the wider community. It was a pleasure to see everyone enjoying themselves.<\/p>\n We look forward to hosting the event again next year, so do put Wednesday, 2nd November 2022<\/strong> in your diary.<\/p>\n I would like to thank Will and his team from Phoenix Fireworks<\/a> who set up the display and advised through the whole process. Our thanks also to the Cedars<\/a> and Laurels<\/a> for allowing us to use their sports ground, to Pandemic Steel Orchestra<\/a> (our steel pan experts) for the joyful music show and to St John’s Ambulance for their support on the night.<\/p>\n Thank you for the many positive comments posted on the PTA’s facebook<\/a> page. Here are a few to enjoy:<\/p>\n “A wonderful evening. Well done St Joseph\u2019s.

It was amazing and would not have thought this was the first time you held this event. I have already told Mel to put me down for 3 tickets next year.” (Kimber family)<\/em><\/p>\n Thank you to everyone for supporting this event, it was particularly significant as it is part of our year-long celebrations to celebrate the school\u2019s 150th anniversary.<\/p>\n If you have taken pictures or videos of the event, please feel free to share them on Instagram <\/a>\u00a0and our hashtag #SJF150.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
