Many thanks to The Barcelo Brothers who entertained us on Thursday with not one, but two concerts, for our pupils!  Fantastic music and lots of great dancing!

A very exciting week ahead in St. Joseph's with live events planned for our pupils in the hall.  With huge thanks to Galway City Council and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports & Media, we welcomed back Stephen from Juggle.ie to kick start the events!  Great excitement & enjoyment was had by all!

Six of our staff took part in St. Joseph's very first Erasmus trip this October. We travelled to Croatia to visit another special school. and learned lots. We took part in art therapy, ceramics and music classes and observed other classes in progress. We also visited a mainstream school and learned about how the special and mainstream schools work together to support each other. We are looking forward to our next trip in the new year, hopefully Northern Ireland in February. 

Congratulations to our 11 pupils who made their Confirmation in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Westside on Friday 22nd October.  We are so proud of you all on your momentous day!

Huge congratulations to all of our pupils who received Junior Cycle awards on Friday 11th of June. We are so proud of you all for your hard work! We celebrated with a party in the hall.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
As most of you know, last year Senior 4 undertook the Junior Entrepreneur Programme and created some beautiful reusable school bottles. 
With our green Schools campaign up and running this school year it is a great opportunity to cut down on our single-use plastic usage. 

Bottles are available to purchase now at €5 per bottle. There are a variety of different colours and space to personalise the bottles with the pupil’s names.


Get yours while stocks last! 
Please send in €5 in an envelope marked with your child’s name to Laura in Senior 2.
Thank you for supporting our Junior Entrepreneur Programme  and Green School initiative. 

Kind regards,
Laura, Senior 2 Teacher.
