St Joseph's College

National Psychology Competition Winners!

Congratulations to our Year 12 students, who won the National Psychology Competition at Royal Holloway University, beating 61 other entries from across the country!

The competition challenged students to answer the question, “To what extent can psychology help build a happier and stronger community?” through a two-minute video and a poster presentation.

After submitting their video in advance, the students presented their poster to the judges yesterday and were named overall winners.

An incredible achievement - well done to Asees, Laura, Max, Laasya and Amelie.

Year 10 enjoyed a day on the South Coast on Friday, examining coastal management strategies and investigating their effectiveness. Our spirits were kept high by the beautiful landscapes and team work. Windy but dry. A great day.

This week our STEP students went to the Royal Courts of Justice for the final STEP trip of the year. Students took part in a mock trial - Cooper was our defendant and was questioned ruthlessly by Freya who acted as the Prosecution Barrister. However, the Jury (Miss Marandola) was not convinced by the evidence so we are pleased to say Cooper's character was found not guilty! An exciting day for all and a really lovely way to round off the Student Extension Programme.

Well done to the U14 girls taking part in the Athletics League this week, with a massive well done to Eloise, Isabelle and Tumi for winning their events. Great work, girls!

🐾 Mandy Update 🐾

We're delighted to receive the latest update on Mandy, our sponsored Guide Dogs puppy!

Now 7 months old, Mandy is thriving and making fantastic progress. From travelling confidently on buses and trains to mastering her lead walking and recall, she's proving to be a confident, sociable and eager-to-please pup.

Well done, Mandy, we can't wait to see what you achieve next!
