  • Set a Glow recovery email address

    We know how frustrating it can be to get locked out of your Glow account, especially when you need quick access during the school day. A simple way to avoid this situation is to set up a recovery email address for your Glow account. This allows you to reset your password quickly and independently if it’s ever forgotten. If you haven’t already done this, we’d strongly recommend taking a couple of minutes to set it up now. It’s a small step that can save you a lot of time and hassle later on.

  • Rugby Returns to Leswalt🏉

    On Tuesday afternoon, the rain stopped and the clouds parted all ready for some rugby in the sunshine with Niamh from Wigtownshire Rugby Club! 🏉We started off with one of our favourites – Capture the Flag, where pupils practised some of the important attacking and defending skills involved in a game of rugby.🏳️ The boys and girls split into two teams on the grass and each team were tasked with capturing the other team’s flag, while defending their own.

  • ⛪🌊 P7 Pilgrimage to St Ninian’s Cave 🌊⛪

    Our P7 pupils recently enjoyed a very special day as they travelled to Whithorn for the annual St Ninian’s Cave Pilgrimage. This pilgrimage brings together Primary 7 pupils from the Catholic schools across Dumfries and Galloway, including St Joseph’s, St Teresa’s, St Andrew’s and St Columba’s. It was wonderful to meet with pupils from other schools to share in this important faith experience. We were incredibly fortunate with the weather, enjoying a beautiful, sunny and very warm day from start to finish! ☀️ The day began with a lovely walk down to the beach, where we joined together for Mass.<br><br><a class="more-link" href="https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/dg/stjosephsprimary/?p=6244">Read More</a>
