Everyone has something to give to society; no one is excluded from contributing to the good of all.

SQA Exams are almost completed now and there has been positive feedback from pupils as they have left the hall and from staff as well. A long wait now until the 8th August when the results come in – it will all be worth it!
We changed our timetable and structure of the school day on 15th May and despite having to get used to bells going off at different times, it has all gone smoothly.
The school recently hosted the ‘O’ Factor, celebrating outdoor learning across the authority. Everyone who attended to see the great work had the opportunity to vote and we were delighted that St. Joseph’s won the Secondary Outdoor Learning Excellence Award thanks to the wonderful work that has been done with the John Muir Award by Geography teacher Mrs Fulton. And as if this wasn’t enough, thanks to her hard work with the links we have with Holy Trinity College in Sri Lanka, the school has also recently received the British Council Intermediate award.
Mrs Whiteford recently took a group of pupils out of school to create a Community Mural. Well worth going to have a look!
A number of our pupils took part in the recent Colour Me Rad 5k run in Glasgow. This was organised by Miss Farrell in the PE department. By all accounts it was a great event!
A number of our pupils in S3 went on their final expedition and managed to achieve their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award. Many thanks to Mr Szumlakowski, Mrs Whiteford, Mr Ritson and Mr Yemen for taking them out.
Mr Hannah took a few S1 pupils out recently to the Salters Competition at Glasgow University and returned victorious! Well done!
