What a star Mark Weed has been to St. Joseph’s this year! A Sports Coach student and former pupil of the school, Mark has more than paid back what we gave him by giving of his free time to help with sporting activities. Mark has come into school every Tuesday and Friday this session to help teachers deliver the sports programme and this term he has turned his talents to Golf. P5 and P7 are both learning the technical aspects of the game and Mark has ably assisted Mrs McLean and Miss Boyd to deliver the programme.

The children are becoming quite skilled in their ‘putting’ and ‘swing strokes’ and are intensely interested in mastering the required skills of a golfer. Helensburgh golf club may soon have a few new junior members and judging by the children’s sound application to the programme, it won’t be long before St Joseph’s produces another Colin Montgomery!
