It’s Wig Wednesday!!📚💫

Our Headteacher, Mrs Slattery, has stepped into the shoes of Scout Finch from the book ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee.

As Scout reminds us: “Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read”.🪶

A little inspiration to pick up a book, discover a new character and get lost in a great story!

Today, we were delighted to represent St Joseph’s College at the Diocesan Chaplaincy Commissioning Mass, celebrated by Bishop Timothy at St Chad's Cathedral.

It was a wonderful opportunity to gather with school chaplains and communities from across the diocese as we begin a new academic year together in faith. The Mass offered a chance to give thanks for the gift of school chaplaincy and to renew our commitment to accompanying our young people, serving our communities and sharing Christ’s love in all that we do. We return to St Joseph’s encouraged and inspired for the year ahead, ready to continue putting our faith into action through Head, Hand and Heart.

Today 9KE were able to celebrate the Feast of the Archangels with the parishioners at St Teresa’s. Fr Joseph helped us to understand that the Archangels Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael are important figures in Christianity, representing messages from God, protection and strength, and healing and guidance. Together, they remind believers of God’s presence and care, encouraging faith, courage, and hope.
