\"\"<\/a>What a wonderful day was had by all at St Joseph\u2019s annual barbecue and fete on Saturday 16 June. Despite the torrential rain, the whole community turned out in force to support the school. The previous evening the Parent Council made the decision to host the event indoors \u2013 a wonderful move forward which allowed everyone time to prepare the fete indoors. A whole host of events were available for the participants from \u2018Fishing for Coke\u2019 and \u2018Higher or Lower\u2019 to displays by HMS Forces.<\/p>\n

Some keen children, staff and parents braved the weather later in the day for the netball and football tournaments \u2013 and keen enthusiasm was greatly in evidence as children competed for medals.
\nFantastic prizes were available at the tombola and raffle stalls and the spirits were heightened by the presence of local dancers and an excellent \u2018blow-up\u2019 slide. Many dads \u2018manned\u2019 the hot dog and burger stalls and there were smiles galore as local children from many Helensburgh schools and their parents joined in the fun. Staff and parents were interviewed by \u2018Your Radio\u2019 and \u2018Helensburgh TV\u2019 and everyone really enjoyed the event.
\nThe communities of Helensburgh and Lomond supported the event so well that an initial total of \u00a34400 was raised. Although some expenses are still to be taken from this total, the school is delighted with the money raised. Newly appointed Head Teacher, Michelle Collins said, \u2018I am overwhelmed by the excellent support by the community for this event. Although I do not officially take up post until Monday, I was delighted to be invited along to \u2018man\u2019 one of the stalls. The staff, parents and children have been so welcoming today and I cannot wait to take up post next week. What a fantastic start! I am so looking forward to be part of the team at St Joseph\u2019s, if this event is anything to go by, we can only hope to go from strength to strength.\u2019<\/p>\n
