Christmas Cheer Shines at St Joseph’s!

🎄 St Joseph’s Primary Christmas Fayre – A Wonderful Community Celebration! 🎄

We are delighted to share the success of this year’s St Joseph’s Primary Christmas Fayre, a heart-warming event that truly brought our school community together. The hall was buzzing with excitement as families, pupils, staff, and visitors enjoyed an afternoon filled with festive cheer.

The fayre was very well attended, with a fantastic selection of local craft stalls offering beautiful handmade gifts and treats. Julie Currie, our newly elected councillor for Ward 1, joined us in celebrating the occasion.

There was lively trade throughout the evening, and our raffle table was overflowing with generously donated prizes, reflecting the wonderful support of our families and local businesses. Guests enjoyed delicious refreshments while relaxing to the highlight of the day:
✨ a beautiful performance from our pupil choir, who have been practising faithfully at Carol Club. Their songs and hymns filled the hall with Christmas spirit and pride.

And of course, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a very special visitor! 🎅 Santa, joined by Mrs Claus and their helpful elf, welcomed children into the grotto, making magical memories for all.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our Parent Council and Family Community for their incredible support. In particular, we are deeply grateful to our Chair, Donna Westbrook, for her meticulous organisation and dedication in ensuring the event was such a joyful and successful experience for everyone.
